Ep. 629: Having A Crush Outside Of Your Relationship

Ep. 629: Having A Crush Outside Of Your Relationship

Author: Danny-J Johnson & Jill Coleman June 3, 2026 Duration: 34:38

We’re pretty sensitive to cheating and the harm it causes a person (we’ll give you three guesses as to why) so we found ourselves wondering if are crushes ever okay while you’re still in a relationship? There’s no stopping the rush of feelings when it comes to having a crush, but we do have some say over our actions and every single one of us knows when too far becomes too far. Fantasizing may not be a red flag, but hiding and secrecy sure are. Look, when it comes to crushes, we think the best course of action is pretty damn simple: don’t fucking do anything that you wouldn’t want your partner to do to you.

Hosted by Danny-J Johnson and Jill Coleman, The Best Life Podcast is a candid conversation about building a meaningful existence on your own terms. This isn't about generic advice; it's a practical exploration of how the pieces of a fulfilling life actually fit together. You'll hear discussions that connect the dots between practical ambition and personal well-being, tackling topics like smart productivity systems, the psychology behind money mindsets, and navigating relationships with honest communication. The dialogue often draws from principles of positive psychology and cultivating abundance, not as separate goals, but as integrated parts of a whole. The aim is to move beyond just success in business or fitness-though those are in the mix-and toward a more cohesive vision. Each episode in this podcast is designed to challenge assumptions and offer actionable perspectives, whether the subject is entrepreneurial resilience, mental health, or redefining what personal achievement really means. It's for anyone questioning the standard blueprint and actively constructing a life that feels genuinely chosen, not accidental. Tune in for thoughtful, often unconventional, takes on self-improvement that acknowledge the messy, non-linear path of real growth.
