Coming Clean

About this episode

<p>Last week, we talked with psychologist <a href="https://www.lesliekjohn.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Leslie John</a> about the costs of keeping secrets. Today, Leslie returns with a look at the psychological power of self-disclosure. She says the moments of oversharing that we often consider "TMI" can actually strengthen our relationships. Then, in the second half of the show, listeners share their thoughts and questions about the expectations we put on modern marriages.
