Intro:
Today, our host Robbie Kramer sits down with Baillee, whose life journey offers a profound look into personal evolution, the complexity of relationships, and societal perceptions. Raised in a conservative Mormon community, Baillee's early departure from the church set a backdrop to her unique experiences, shaping her views on everything from dating to self-worth.
In this episode, Bailee candidly discusses her disapproval of visible tattoos, her navigation through the choppy waters of love—including a significant relationship that intensified unexpectedly due to unforeseen circumstances—and her adventures in the L.A. party scene. She also shares insights into her struggles with societal norms and personal relationships, which led her from feeling undervalued to embracing a life of empowerment and self-discovery.
Throughout their conversation, Robbie and Bailee delve into themes of social status, dating stereotypes, and the nuances of online dating platforms like Hinge, Bumble, and Tinder. They also touch on the psychological impacts of behaviors like 'love bombing' and how these dynamics play out in modern dating.
Join us as Bailee opens up about her transformation from a young girl in a restrictive community to a confident woman charting her own course, often challenging the conventions she grew up with. It's an episode packed with honest reflections and invaluable lessons on confidence, resilience, and the journey to finding one's voice.

Intro:
Today's episode takes us on a deep dive into the transformation of the dating and pickup industry into what's now known as the red pill movement and beyond. We'll explore the nuances of male and female aging and discuss why it may be easier for older men to date younger women.
Robbie opens up about his initial skepticism toward self-help dating advice and how "The Game" by Neil Strauss sparked a pivotal change after a breakup. We'll hear riveting tales of Robbie's days partying it up in Eastern Europe, hosting soirees that painted the town red, and the introspective journey that led him from casual flings to finding fulfillment in coaching men on relationships and self-acceptance.
Touching on the delicate topic of men's belief in their ability to improve dating success, we will dissect perceptions, realities, and the pivotal "player zone." We share our own transformation from the world of casual relationships to searching for meaningful connections, echoing the collective journey many of us take.

Intro:
Today, we'll be diving deep into a topic that touches many relationships - dealing with boredom. We all know that relationships can lose their initial spark as the lustre of new love fades. But what lies beyond the excitement? Can we find a richer, more nuanced form of connection?
In this episode about dealing with relationship boredom, we'll analyze the intricacies of long-term commitment and how the initial rush of passion can transform into a comforting sense of home and security. 
We'll hear from two of our clients as they navigate their own challenges, from anxiety over labeling a relationship to knowing when it's time to seek variety or move on to new horizons. 
And I'll share some of my personal journey from prioritizing sexual conquests to recognizing the value in deeper, more intellectual connections with partners.
We'll also explore how societal norms and mental health intertwine with our concepts of monogamy and commitment.
So, whether you find yourself pressured to define a relationship, wondering how to maintain attraction over time, or simply searching for ways to reinvigorate your partnership, this episode is tailored for you.
