In this episode of Emboldened with Jessica, host Jessica Jackson, a Decolonizing Somatic Therapist, and Ariele dive into the fascinating world of relationship launches—both soft and hard. Joined by the brilliant Jae Johnson, a dedicated advocate for underserved communities, they unpack the nuances of navigating relationship changes and the art of sharing those moments with friends, family, and the ever-watchful eyes of social media.
Jessica, Ariele and Jae explore the many layers of deciding when, how, and if to reveal your relationship status, offering thoughtful perspectives on boundaries, privacy, and trust in today’s hyperconnected world. With a blend of humor, honesty, and personal anecdotes, they examine the evolving dynamics of what it means to "launch" a relationship—whether it's keeping it private, sharing with a select few, or going full Instagram official.
Whether you’re figuring out your own relationship reveal or simply curious about the unspoken rules of modern love, this episode is packed with insights to help you navigate connection with confidence and care. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation about love, boundaries, and the delicate balance between sharing and safeguarding what matters most.
