Who we are
Relateish is a small independent audiobook publisher. It's part of Oderweb d.o.o., a company based in Velenje, Slovenia. We publish audiobooks of about an hour each on attachment, dating, breakups, boundaries and staying together, and they're available on Spotify. Every book has a free sample on its page here, and new subscribers get a first chapter free.
We make them short on purpose. Most people looking for help with a relationship don't need a twelve-hour book. They need one clear idea, a few practical tools, and something they can finish on a commute.
Who writes Relateish
Everything on this site is written and edited by the Relateish editorial team. The letters in the Reading Room and the message guides in What to Send are each built on one of our audiobooks: they take a question people genuinely ask, answer it using the ideas and tools from that book, and say which book they come from.
Nothing on Relateish is written as clinical advice. None of it replaces a therapist, doctor or counselor who knows you and your situation.
Who you hear
Jen Tran
Narrator
Jen Tran narrates Relateish audiobooks. If you've listened to one of our books, hers is likely the voice you heard.
These books are often played alone: on a walk after a hard conversation, in the car outside the apartment, at 2 a.m. when sleep won't come. Jen reads them the way a good friend talks you through something, steady and unhurried, so the ideas have room to land.
How we write
- We build on established research, described plainly. Our books and letters draw on long-standing work in attachment theory, couples research, and the psychology of rejection, grief, rumination and habit. When we mention a finding, we describe it in everyday language and don't invent statistics. Where the evidence is mixed or still developing, we say so.
- We write for everyone. We mostly say “they” and “your partner”, because these patterns don't belong to one gender or one kind of relationship.
- We describe patterns, not verdicts. We can't see your relationship. We try to give you ways to look at it more clearly, and leave the decisions with you.
- We keep pages up to date. Every letter and message guide shows when it was last updated. When we change something meaningful, the date changes too.
- We correct mistakes. If something here is wrong, unclear or out of date, tell us at hello@relateish.com and we'll fix it.
What we're not
Relateish isn't therapy, a crisis service or a substitute for medical care. If you're in crisis or thinking about hurting yourself, call or text 988 in the US, or find a free helpline in your country at findahelpline.com. If you're not safe in your relationship, the US National Domestic Violence Hotline is 1-800-799-7233, and it's free and confidential.
