Summary

We don't know about you, but we could use a big ol' break from all the politics. So it's the perfect timing to introduce the concept of compersion (i.e our wholehearted participation in the happiness of others) as we chat with Dr. Marie Thouin, an expert in the topic. We're discussing how compersion can operate in both monogamous and non-monogamous relationships, why jealousy and possessiveness don't have to be the conditioned response, and ways you can invite more joy into your dating life. Plus, we give updates on our trips to Italy + Mexico City in an extended intro.

0:00.0	Spark something uncommon this holiday with just the right gift from Uncommon Goods. I talked about this last
0:06.6	year and I'm so excited to talk about it again, but Uncommon Goods is my absolute favorite place to do
0:12.4	holiday shopping. They scour the globe for original handmade, absolutely remarkable things, and it shows
0:18.9	Uncommon Goods is always my go-to place and it makes it so much
0:23.1	less stressful because I can get things for everyone on my list all in one spot. I've been eyeing
0:28.7	their Create Your Own Real View Maker that I have in mind for someone I won't quite reveal. I'm also
0:34.0	obsessed with their customized items with everything from songwall art to cookies
0:38.7	that will definitely make it on my holiday list this year.
0:41.9	When you shop at Uncommon Goods, you're supporting artists and small independent businesses.

1:04.7	quality of makeup and skincare products are important, but have you ever thought about how you
1:09.7	apply them is even more important
1:11.7	for results? Since 2019, Anisa Beauty has been leading the way in creating vegan and cruelty-free
1:17.5	makeup and skincare brushes that are safe for your skin and the planet and are designed to optimize
1:22.4	the application and absorption of skincare products. Their popular pinnacle foundation brush has made such a big
1:28.6	difference for me. I used to hate wearing foundation because it always felt so caked on. But with this
1:33.6	brush, I can use so little product and it goes on flawlessly due to its patented triangular
1:39.1	shape. Anisa Beauty's brushes deliver value and quality like no other. The same goes for their Pinnacle Skin Brush, which has completely changed how I apply skincare.
1:47.9	I no longer use my hands to apply my products.
1:50.1	Check out the Pinnacle Foundation Brush as well as several other amazing brushes at AnisaBeauty.com
