Shownotes

Ever sat next to someone for hours, doing your own thing, and felt weirdly connected? That’s parallel play, baby—and it's not just for toddlers and tired couples. In this episode of S Squared: Social Savage with Tanya and Chalee get into the good stuff:

  • How shared silence can deepen intimacy
  • Why your anxious attachment might not love it
  • What it looks like when it works (and when it flops)
  • Plus: how to make space without creating distance

From romantic partners to roommates, this is for anyone who loves someone—but still needs their own screen time.
