info_outlineTaylor Swift and Travis Kelce made headlines this week thanks to the heartwarming reaction of Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, as they celebrated Taylor’s new album, The Life of a Showgirl.

Relationship therapist, Esther Perel, used this term “compersion” recently in an Instagram reel that’s been buzzing online in relation to the heartwarming reaction of Travis Kelce and his brother Jason as they celebrated Taylor Swift’s new album. Kimmy unpacks why these “cheerleader” moments are the true green flags in dating.
Kimmy uses real-life coaching stories to illustrate how compersion and jealousy show up on first dates and far into relationships. You’ll hear about clients who kept attracting partners that would downplay their wins, make dismissive jokes, or always steer the conversation back to themselves—leaving them feeling small, unseen, and unsupported. Kimmy explains where these reactions come from and why they're red flags you need to spot early.
Through practical steps, Kimmy teaches you how to identify and cultivate compersion. She outlines a powerful homework assignment to the listeners on how to conduct a “compersion check-in” on your next date, how to reclaim your power by celebrating your own wins without shrinking, and how to recondition yourself to receive genuine support—especially if it feels uncomfortable or “foreign” at first.
You’ll hear:
-
How to spot the subtle signs of compersion (and jealousy) from the very first date, so you don’t waste time on someone whose insecurity will make you feel small.
-
A real-life client story that illustrates how someone can seem charming and supportive, but consistently chips away at your joy—and how to break that toxic cycle for good.
-
Specific “green flags” that signal emotional maturity and genuine support, versus common “red flags” that point to competition and insecurity.
-
A simple, three-step “Compersion Check-In” exercise you can try on your next date or even in your current relationship, to see how supported you really feel.
