This episode continues our conversation on conflict—this time focusing on boundaries.
With Cheddy back in the guest host seat, we get into how we learned to set limits with each other, the difference between protecting yourself and shutting down, and why men and women often process trauma and seek support differently.

We also talk:

• When to trust your body vs. when to question if it's a trauma response

• What online dating is doing to connection

• And how growing up on screens might change the next generation’s ability to love

This one gets honest, tense, and clarifying.

This one starts calm. It doesn’t stay that way.

In what quickly became our most fiery episode yet, Sam and Gen open up about dating in the present tense - what it looks like now, how “situationships” complicate everything, and why modern dating feels like survival of the fittest.

From background checks and “Tinder Swindler” fears to why so many men end up looking like frauds, the conversation spirals into deeper questions: Do men and women lose what makes them attractive over time? Are men socialized to be insidious? And where does personal responsibility fit in?

By the end, sparks are flying - especially when the “getting back together” question comes up again.
