Season 4 Ep 3: Cobra Kind: Bullying, Partner Requests for Change, & Bare Minimums
First up, in Poppin’ Culture, we discuss Netflix’s Cobra Kai and how we teach kids to manage peer conflict. Next, we do an Academic Deep Dive into new Journal of Social and Personal Relationships research on how we cope when our partner asks us to change. Reframing that request as an opportunity for growth, or a sign our partner values the relationship, may help us feel motivated to change, and more likely to follow through! Last up, we discuss TikTok relationship advice on allowing ourselves days to do the bare minimum (while our partner picks up the slack), eating life’s lemons whole, and the shelf life of systems we develop to get housework done. We talk about what science says about whether this advice is Good or Bad!
