Hookup culture is everywhere — from dating apps to everyday conversations — but what does it really mean for our mental health and relationships? In this episode, we dive into the rise of hookup culture, how social norms have shifted, and why casual sex can feel both liberating and complicated.

We unpack:

The hidden benefits people don’t talk about — empowerment, freedom, and reclaiming sexuality

The costs that come with it — ghosting, rejection, and the pressure to be “chill”

The messy middle — situationships, blurred lines, and trauma triggers

Therapist insights on attachment styles, boundaries, and knowing if hookup culture works for you

✨ Whether you’ve embraced hookup culture, been hurt by it, or are just curious, this conversation is about understanding the messy, human side of modern dating.
