In this episode, I dive into the chaos of modern dating, where nonchalant DMs and bare-minimum effort somehow became the norm..yikes! I reflect on how that culture has shaped the way I, and most of society, interprets interest, why genuine intention can feel suspicious, and how being used to intensity makes healthy pacing feel unfamiliar. I briefly talk about unlearning old patterns, relearning what softness and trust look like, and navigating the tiny panic that comes with the very unfamiliar slow burn. Most importantly, I explore what it means to build a happy, healthy relationship with myself first so that whenever the right person shows up, I’ll be as ready as I can be!

In this episode, we revisit the "What Made You Cry This Week" segment and explore some of our favorite relationship theories; the weird ones, the oddly accurate ones, and the ones that make you question everything you thought you knew about timing and connection.

Everyone keeps asking if I’m alone… but honestly? The quiet of my own galaxy feels better than orbiting someone who doesn’t see me. In this brief episode, I (Steggy) talk about celestial solitude and how people tend to confuse my peace with loneliness.
