  <description><![CDATA[<p>What if the distance you feel in your relationship isn't a sign that something is broken? What if it's a sign that you've lost your location inside it?<br><br>Where We Are is a podcast about orientation, not diagnosis. Hosted by Dr. Alon Aviram, each episode maps a relationship pattern you'll recognize from your own life and shows you where you actually stand.<br><br>Eleven episodes. One season. For anyone who's done the reading, tried the therapy, and still can't name why the connection feels off. No blame. No quick fixes. Just the language for what you already feel.<br><br></p>]]></description>
