Welcome to another episode of "Thoughts Of An Average Joe." Today we dive into episode three of the Relationship Resume Series. In episode 3, we dive into one of the quietest but most powerful obstacles in modern dating: the fear of being truly seen. After exploring dating while healing and the pressure to be “over-qualified” in love, this episode focuses on what happens when the résumé drops—and the real person has to show up.

This conversation unpacks why vulnerability feels dangerous, especially for people who’ve been hurt, rejected, or misunderstood in past relationships. We discuss how emotional walls, humor, independence, and “I’m good on my own” mindsets often mask a deeper fear of exposure rather than strength.

The episode also explores how wanting love can conflict with the fear of being known—how people crave connection but pull away the moment someone gets close enough to see their flaws, insecurities, or unmet needs. Listeners are challenged to reflect on whether they’re protecting their peace or protecting their wounds.

Episode 3 encourages honest self-reflection, reminding us that love doesn’t require perfection—just presence. Being seen isn’t about having it all together; it’s about allowing someone to witness who you are in real time, unfinished and human.

Welcome back to another episode of "Thoughts Of An Average Joe." Today we dive into part two of The Relationship Resume Series. This episode is titled "When Dating Feels Like A Job Interview and I bring on Tyler to talk about this. In this episode we unpack how modern dating has turned into a checklist-driven job interview. From social media pressure to emotional résumés, many people feel the need to oversell themselves just to be considered worthy of love. But being “over-qualified” on paper doesn’t mean you’re emotionally ready for connection.

This episode explores how dating standards, past trauma, and fear of rejection push people to perform instead of be present. We talk about the difference between emotional credentials and emotional availability, why people chase partners they think they “should” want, and how trying to meet every requirement often leads to burnout, misalignment, and shallow connections.

At its core, Episode 2 challenges the idea that love should be earned through perfection. Real relationships aren’t built on resumes and checklists — they’re built on honesty, effort, and emotional readiness.

Welcome back to another episode of “Thoughts Of An Average Joe.”After a lengthy hiatus we are back!!!In this kickoff to The Relationship Resume Series, we explore what it really means to date while still healing from past hurt. Most people think they’re “ready” simply because time has passed — but unprocessed pain always finds a way to show up. This episode breaks down the difference between avoiding your wounds and actually doing the work, and how those hidden fractures affect who you attract, how you love, and how you show up in relationships.

We unpack the signs that your emotional resume is still unfinished, from repeating old patterns to struggling with vulnerability, honesty, and trust. You’ll learn the difference between healthy dating during healing and using dating as a distraction, plus why self-awareness matters more than being completely “fixed.”

At its core, Episode 1 reminds you: being a work in progress doesn’t make you unworthy — it makes you human. You can date while healing… as long as you’re honest about where you really are.
