In this episode of the Billion Dollar Babie Podcast, we sit down with relationship and mental health expert Jordan Candlish. We dive deep into modern relationships, emotional availability, masculinity, attachment, heartbreak, self-worth, and what real love actually looks like.
We talk about why so many men struggle with vulnerability, why emotionally unavailable relationships feel addictive, and how childhood wounds shape the people we choose to love. From attachment vs real love, to healing trauma, masculine leadership, purpose, God, relationships, and emotional maturity. This conversation gets brutally honest about the reality of dating in today’s world.
