Boomers want a phone call. Gen Z wants a meme. Millennials just want someone to text them back before they die. In this episode, we dive into how dating looks wildly different depending on your age—and why that actually makes a lot of sense. We talk about what matters to you in your teens vs. your 30s, how the chaos of your early relationships is kind of necessary, and why it’s important to make dumb mistakes (yes, we all dated a walking red flag at some point). Plus, we share some of our own dating wins and disasters from across the timeline.

#DoYouEvenKnowMePodcast

In this episode, we talk about how sexual trauma shaped us.

From people-pleasing to dissociation to trust issues, trauma shows up in your life quietly—but powerfully. We’re opening up about our own stories, the weird ways it’s affected us over time, and what healing has looked like (spoiler: it’s not linear). If you’ve ever felt like your reactions didn’t “make sense” or that something from your past is still shaping your present—you’re not alone.

This one’s raw. This one’s real. And this one’s for anyone trying to make sense of themselves.

🛑 Trigger warning: This episode discusses sexual trauma and assault. Please take care of yourself as you listen.

👇 Let us know in the comments if this resonated, or if you’ve had moments where you realized trauma shaped you more than you thought.

This week, we dove into the twisted world of BookTok where “romance” looks a lot like emotional manipulation, stalking, and straight-up abuse—wrapped in a pretty bow and sold as passion. From Haunting Adeline to The Gift, we unpack how these stories are influencing dating culture and why so many people are thirsting over literal walking red flags. Is it just fantasy? Or are we normalizing toxicity in the name of "love"?

As always, it’s raw, a little chaotic, and just judgmental enough.

Follow us on all the things and tell us your toxic book crush (we know you have one).

Think of this as attachment styles, but with less theory and more “oh THAT’S why I act like that.” Plus a few deeply relatable tangents and personal stories that we definitely won’t regret posting.
