In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist and couples therapist Dr. Molly Burrets to unpack why so many of us keep ending up in the same relationship with a different face. We talk about how our childhoods quietly shape who we are drawn to, why those intense butterflies can actually be anxiety, and what it really looks like to hit rock bottom in love and choose differently.

We also get into attachment styles, people pleasing, abandonment wounds, hyper independence, and how all of this shows up in our friendships, our romantic lives, and even how we think about becoming parents one day. If you have ever questioned your patterns, minimized your own experience, or struggled to find closure, this one is going to sit in your chest in the best way.

In this state of the world, politics is such a heavy topic. We are not here to debate policies or convince anyone where to stand. Instead, this episode is about how politics has become the thing that cracks open old wounds in my family, and maybe yours too.

As I try to navigate the political differences in my family and in the world, I am also navigating what it means to finally face the family trauma I have avoided for years. If you have ever felt caught in the middle of loving your people and questioning their beliefs, this one is for you.

We’re getting a little scholarly about sex and connection!!!!

We sit down with Nadege, also known as Pleasure Science, a sex scholar who breaks down the science behind how we flirt, love, and connect. We brought her on because, honestly, I have no idea what my flirting style even is. Am I playful? Sincere? Shy? All of the above?

We also dive deep into asexuality and demisexuality, two identities that are often misunderstood. Before I go around calling myself demisexual, I wanted to actually educate myself on what that means, and who better to help me unpack it than a sex scholar herself?

So tune in to find out what my real flirting style is, if I can officially call myself a demisexual, and maybe even discover what your flirting style is. Do you resonate with being demisexual or asexual? Let’s find out together!!!

We’ve always shown support for the ENM (ethical non-monogamy) community, but I understand there are still a lot of skeptics out there. Rose is definitely one of them, but in my opinion I think she’s more capable of being poly than she realizes. That’s why I brought Vanessa on the pod to share her insight and maybe even convince Rose that she’s a little more poly than she thinks she is 👀

I finally got to cross off one of my dream guests from my dream list…the woman who CREATED Rose. If you know Rose, you know she’s big, loud, unapologetic, always fighting for women’s rights, and embracing girlhood at every turn. But where does she get it from? WHO RAISED HER?!?!

On this episode, I sit down with Rose’s mom, Kathy, to talk about what it was like to be a mother to Rose, what motherhood meant for her in general, and who she was before she became “Mom.” We also dive into the different generations of womanhood and  the ways Kathy’s generation walked so that we could RUN.

Tyler Prince is back! It’s been a while since his last appearance when he opened up about manifesting the right woman. But this time we’re going deeper. Is Tyler really different from the guys so many of us have dated, or are we just projecting and assuming he’s like the rest? Steff peels back the layers to find out who Tyler Prince really is and whether he fits into the category of men we have all come across before.
