In this episode, we’re talking all about dating with intention and the questions that actually matter when you’re thinking about a future with someone. Not in a scary interview way 😂 but in a real, honest way that helps you better understand compatibility, values, communication, goals, family, finances, faith, and the everyday things that shape a relationship long term. We’re sharing how to naturally bring up deeper conversations, what we personally think is important to know before committing to someone, and why asking the right questions early can save a lot of confusion later on.

Nia Sioux joins us for a deeply honest conversation about growing up in the spotlight, navigating toxic training environments, body image, and learning how to separate discipline from emotional harm in competitive performance spaces.

We also discuss the culture of “tough love” in dance and athletics, and how harmful behavior is often normalized or disguised as discipline, passion, or preparation for success.

Nia also talks about her book, Bottom of the Pyramid, and the themes that inspired it — including resilience, triumph, and defining success for herself.Beyond the entertainment industry, this episode explores confidence, burnout, mental health, womanhood, and the process of rebuilding a sense of self outside of performance.

A thoughtful, vulnerable, and incredibly important conversation that we loved so much!

Love you guys!

Shawn & Andrew
