So What Now? with Carla and Dex

EP 68: Are We Dating Wrong?


Listen Later

This week, the ladies are all over the place in the best way possible.

Carla & Dex kick things off with a hilarious discussion about unexpected celebrity crushes, dating preferences, and what happens when you realize your "type" might be changing. From Daddy Yankee admiration to conversations about dating multiple people, they unpack how attraction evolves and why putting all your emotional energy into one person too soon might not be the move.

The conversation then shifts into real-life pressures: overcommitted schedules, social burnout, and the exhaustion that comes from trying to do it all. If you've ever looked at your calendar and immediately needed a nap, this episode will feel very familiar.

In the Woman of the Week segment, they spotlight Quinta Brunson and her efforts to help fund student field trips, sparking a larger conversation about childhood experiences, educational opportunities, and ways communities can support kids who need a little extra help.

The episode also dives into:

  • Dating multiple people versus focusing on one person
  • Why some people struggle with social exhaustion
  • School lunch debt and supporting students in need
  • Hygiene education and whether schools should teach it
  • Alternative birth control conversations and the importance of doing your own research
  • A shocking DoorDash story that raises questions about safety and accountability
  • Family conflict over life insurance payouts and caregiving responsibilities
  • Finding joy in personal style, self-expression, and feeling like yourself again

As always, the laughs are loud, the opinions are strong, and the conversations go places nobody saw coming.

Quote of the Episode

"When you're dating, you shouldn't immediately make yourself fully available to one person."
