How Do You Know When To Cut Them Loose? - Dr. Jess O’Reilly

Loneliness doesn’t wait for an empty room—it finds us even in crowded spaces and close relationships. In this episode, Dr. Jody Carrington sits down with Dr. Jess O’Reilly, a Toronto-based sexologist (PhD), author and television personality, to explore why connection feels elusive in a hyper-connected world. From the myth of #CouplesGoals to the quiet ache of adult friendships, they dig into the layers of relationships, love, and loneliness. Jess shares why "quality over longevity" is the new mantra for relationships and how intentionality—not convenience—should guide who we let into our lives. With wisdom on everything from romantic partnerships to choosing your inner circle, this conversation is a call to reframe connection.Follow Dr. Jess O'Reilly:FacebookInstagramYouTubeWebsite Hosted on Acast.
