  • Summary

  • We asked the AI overlords to summarize this episode, and here's what they said "In the bustling, diverse world of relationships, many couples find themselves striving for a semblance of perfection, embodying the calm and composed duck gliding on the water's surface while concealing the frantic paddling underneath. This phenomenon, known as "Floating Duck Syndrome," encapsulates the hidden struggles that lie beneath seemingly perfect relationships. This edition of "Untangling Relationships" delves into the intricacies of this syndrome from a couple’s perspective, guided by the insightful conversations between Janae and Penney.

    Originating from Stanford University, the term "Floating Duck Syndrome" was coined to describe high-achieving students who, on the surface, seemed unphased by their challenges. This analogy extends seamlessly into the realm of relationships, where couples often mask their difficulties to present a veneer of calm and stability. Janae and Penney explore how this syndrome manifests in relationships, revealing the hidden currents of fear, shame, and unspoken conflicts that couples endure."
