Do you feel happy when your partner does something that makes them happy – even if you’re not involved? What if they do something with someone else?
Today Laura and I take a DEEP DIVE into compersion - the experience of being happy for your partner when they experience joy outside of their relationship with you.
It is a way of being that helps you both thrive - but…how do you get there? In the episode Laura and I discuss:
-The definition of compersion
-How it helps relationships
-Is it necessary?
-What if you don’t feel it?
-The dark side of striving for compersion
-Learning from “negative” emotions
-Jealousy in relationships
Want to generally do better in your partnerships? Push play :)

Sex and the Solo Girl with Janice Formichella is an inclusive space for all adults who are looking to improve their relationships with themselves and others. I believe that singlehood is a portal for opportunities in life and love. I also believe that regardless of its shape, love is love and that there are a wide variety of different types of relationships, and that all are valid.
As a podcast host, I am dedicated to making this a safe and inclusive space for all and strive to portray that in my content. I welcome feedback on my efforts and thank you for being a listener and a part of the show’s community.
