From ghosting and situationships to love bombing and “heal first” advice from men who haven’t even unpacked their own trauma — the streets are wild.We talk about the emotional toll of constantly being expected to be “strong,” “soft,” “independent,” and “low maintenance” all at once. We also explore the double standards, the hypervisibility and invisibility, and why so many Black women are choosing peace over partnership until something real and healthy shows up.This episode is full of honesty, laughter, hard truths, and a reminder that you’re not crazy — it really is rough out here.
