Sometimes the best place for a relationship check-in isn’t over coffee or at the kitchen table—it’s in the car, somewhere between snack stops and scenic views. 🚗✨
We’re continuing our summer road trip through the Gaspésie in Quebec and into the Maritimes, and along the way we’re recording these bite-sized Carversations.
In this episode, we share two different versions of relationship check-ins you can try, including the RAADAR Method—originally from the Multiamory Podcast but with our own extra “A”. RAADAR stands for Review, Agenda, Affirm & Connect (our add-on), Discussion, Actions, and Reconnect - a practice we teach to our clients and in our Poly Newbies Digital Course - which helps keep these reviews structured, connected, and productive.
We also share a few easy starter questions you can use for your next road trip check-in, and we get personal by answering them ourselves:
How are you feeling in the relationship right now?
Any wins or highlights lately?
Anything you’re struggling with or that needs more attention?
Anything you’re excited about coming up?
🎧 Heads up: This episode was recorded on the road, so you’ll hear a bit of “road trip ambiance” in the background—consider it part of the experience!
💬 We’d love to hear your ideas!
- What questions do you love asking during check-ins?
- What topics are harder to discuss during check-insHave you tried the RAADAR Method?
- Got a road trip story that brought you closer to your partner(s)?
