merlot with my beau
People are complicated, which can make navigating our close and intimate relationships even more complicated! Join relationship psychologist Dr. Yuthika Girme and her beau Steve Miller (your “average-Steve”) as they discuss the psychology behind close relationships and peoples' unique and complex personalities. Yuthika and Steve discuss psychological science, invite guest speakers from around the world, and have casual and accessible discussions about psychology over some wine. Whether you're a student in Dr. Girme's class, someone interested in the psychology, or simply want to drink wine alongside us, this podcast is for you!
