TALK
John Kim & Vanessa Bennett
Tearing up our relationship blueprints
Everything we think we know about relationships is changing. Therapist couple John Kim (@TheAngryTherapist) and Vanessa Bennett (@VanessaSBennett) break down the ways they’re choosing interdependence over codependence and what it means to pursue radical accountability inside our intimate relationships. They reveal why now is the right time to rip up old ‘blueprints’ inherited from family and society so we can create truly fulfilling relationships on our own terms.
The Saturday Sessions
An entire day stacked with relationship insights and powerhouse guests.
April 13, 2 pm - 3:30 PM
Keynote
Dr. Gabor Maté & Rae Maté
Reconciling attachment with authenticity
Dr. Gabor Maté and Rae Maté share insights from 54 years of marriage. They illuminate a key dynamic that puts our relationships under pressure: the conflict between our deeply-rooted attachment needs and our drive for authenticity, to be genuinely ourselves. What happens when out of fear we repress our true selves in our hope to make things work? The struggle can take a heavy toll on marriage and intimacy, on children, and our immune systems—with outsized impact on women. In this rare joint appearance, Gabor and Rae discuss their own challenges, missteps, and lessons learned along the path of love, growth, and healing.
April 13, 9:20 am - 10:20 AM
Dr. Jody Carrington
Reconnecting in a disconnected world
We may be biologically wired for connection, but many of us are feeling more disconnected (and lonely) than ever. In a world where our relationships compete for attention with careers, kids, right swipes, and Netflix, how do we create solid friendships and partnerships? Can we even be in love when there are so many opportunities not to be? Psychologist Dr. Jody Carrington (@DrJodyCarrington) shares how to show up for the people we love and the steps we can take to bridge the distance between us.
April 13, 10:30 am - 11:30 AM
Dr. Jess O’Reilly
Crucial conversations for hotter sex
Communication may be the key to happier relationships, deeper intimacy, and hotter sex, but how do we initiate and navigate the difficult conversations? In this session, sexologist Dr. Jess O’Reilly (@SexWithDrJess) puts theory into practice with prompts and strategies to help us talk about everything from money and monogamy (and ethical non-monogamy) to sexual fantasies and mismatched desire.
April 13, 12:45 PM - 1:45 PM
Logan Ury
Intentionally Ever After: How to build relationships that last
While love may be a natural instinct, dating isn't. We're not born knowing how to choose the right partner. With her signature data-driven approach, behavioral scientist turned dating coach Logan Ury (@LoganUry) reveals what’s holding you back from finding love, why you should date like a scientist, and the questions to ask yourself to know if someone is right for you. This session focuses on Intentional Love — being in the driver’s seat of your relationship and making thoughtful decisions at every step of the way.
