Episode 7: Bare Minimum or Princess Treatment? Modern Dating Expectations Unpacked

What’s the difference between basic respect and true romance? In this episode, Sarah and Jo dive into the viral “bare minimum vs princess treatment” trend — and it sparks a juicy, honest conversation about what we actually deserve in dating and relationships.

They unpack which behaviours are non-negotiables (hint: replying to a text isn’t princess treatment), what acts feel deeply romantic, and how communication and personal standards play a huge role in emotional safety. From birthday texts and coffee orders to surprise flowers and love notes, this chat is full of laughs, real talk, and reminders to wear your crown with pride.

Whether you're single, dating, or deep in relationship, this one will have you reflecting on what your bare minimum really is... and where you might be settling.

Description:
In this raw and relatable episode, Sarah and Jo dive deep into the emotional labour women take on in relationships- especially when it comes to overgiving, people-pleasing, and hoping that love will be enough to secure commitment.

Jo opens up about her experience with nesting post-divorce, navigating blended family dynamics, and the unspoken emotional toll of waiting for the relationship to “catch up” to her heart’s desires.

Sarah shares a powerful story of going all-in with a man she was dating… only to find that no amount of effort could make it right.

Together, they unpack the conditioning that tells women to earn love through overfunctioning, the grief of feeling like you’re still not enough, and the radical choice to be your full self... unapologetically.

This one is for every woman who’s ever asked herself, “Why wasn’t I enough when I gave everything?”

Episode 5 - Your Type Is Not Your Destiny....

Do you have a type? And is it actually serving you?

In this honest, juicy convo, we (Sarah + Jo) dive deep into the patterns and preferences that shape who we date — from bad boys and tattooed dreamboats to older men and emotionally unavailable types. We explore the psychology behind why we’re drawn to certain aesthetics, personality traits, and familiar dynamics… even when they hurt.

We talk about:

• Why your "type" might be keeping you stuck

• What values and communication reveal that looks never can

• The subconscious loop of fixer energy and saviour complex

• How dating can become the ultimate self-awareness practice

• The power of full-body rage... and mowing the lawn through it

This one’s a spicy, reflective ride through the messy middle of dating, healing, and reclaiming your power — no matter who you’ve been choosing.

✨ Let this be your permission slip to expand. To date differently. To meet yourself, again and again.
