Hosts: C.L., Doc G, & Yusuf

In this vulnerable and thought-provoking episode of the Relationship Status Podcast, hosts Yusuf and Fraronda dive deep into the often-blurred lines between love, lust, and emotional safety. From deciphering the real intentions behind DMs to discussing how past traumas shape our approach to vulnerability, they explore what it means to "lean in" versus "chase" in modern relationships. The duo unpacks the importance of emotional discernment, how both men and women carry walls into new connections, and why mutual safety is essential for true intimacy. With real talk, laughter, and a few live reactions to dating app antics, this episode invites listeners to reflect on whether they’ve ever pushed away someone who genuinely leaned in. They also get into an advice letter from a husband who is at hos whits end! Tune in, share your thoughts, and join the ongoing conversation about building relationships that are both safe and soulful.

Question of the Week:
Have you ever pushed away someone who leaned into loving you? Why?
