Happy Holidays - I missed you guys! This episode I am ending the year with a recap of all the dating scandals and viral stories in the last few months. 

I am coming to bat for Caresha who I support dating Diddy, dragging TJ Holmes by his colored eyeballs, and probably being an asshole about couples who act entitled in public. 

I did not edit this episode, just 2 hours of my authentic and unfiltered thoughts  - catching yall up on my hottakes and my goals for next year. 

Enjoy and catch you in 2023 with some awesome new content.

Dating Tip of the Week by @Dating_GenYZ

This week we talked about what it meant to want to praise the Lord and still want to have an orgasm -  yes, we are GOING THERE! Danyelle T. of Unfit Christian joined me to unpack the concept of purity culture and how growing up in church caused conflict with our sexual expression. This is a singles platform so of course we discussed sex out of wedlock, trying to maintain a relationship while being abstinent, submitting to a partner, the concept of modesty, and more! And of course we had a little fun and dragged how dating men in church, specifically the music department, is the WORST! You will NOT want to miss this episode! Check it out now!
