Cate Mackenzie: Flirting: Why Everyone Should Learn the Skills

The Meaningful Life with Andrew G. Marshall

Some of us are afraid of it, some of us gave it up decades ago, and some of us are trying desperately to master it. The art of flirting is a form of relationship magic, and it can bring so much happiness into our partnerships and our lives. Flirting opens us up to silliness, fun and joy.

In this episode Andrew talks with flirting coach and psychosexual therapist Cate Mackenzie about why we should master the skills of flirting.

Andrew and Cate talk about the ways in which your childhood might have left you finding the physical cues involved in flirting difficult, and how to overcome this.

Andrew and Cate discuss:

⭐️Flirting for those coming out of long-term relationships and starting to date again

⭐️Flirting for those burnt by the dating scene

⭐️Flirting for couples who’ve given up on it

⭐️The sometimes thorny issue of flirting and boundaries.
