This week on The Inner Circle Podcast, Georgie and Adalia dive into the question every romantasy reader secretly asks: how does reading about epic, all-consuming love stories actually affect our dating lives? From heightened standards to unexpected self-awareness, they unpack how these books have shaped their views on love, intimacy, and what we now refuse to settle for.

We also asked our listeners to share their experiences — and the answers did not disappoint. From breakups sparked by the realization that “bare minimum” isn’t romance, to couples reigniting their spark after a well-timed Nesta and Cassianroleplay, we explore how romantasy is reshaping modern relationships. Turns out, the bar isn’t unrealistically high… it’s just finally where it belongs.

So grab a warm drink, get settled in, and join us for a conversation that proves maybe... just maybe, expecting magic isn’t so unrealistic after all!
