The Exaaactly Pod

We’ve all made choices in relationships that, in hindsight, had us shaking our heads. But were they necessary for our growth? In this episode, we break down the viral TikTok of a woman canceling her 30th birthday trip to Paris to stay home with her boyfriend—and ask the big question: was this a canon event?

We explore regretful relationship decisions, the lessons they teach us, and whether some mistakes are just part of the journey. Plus, we get real about our own “canon events,” the ones we saw coming (and ignored), and what we’d do differently now.

In this episode, we dive into All About Love by Bell Hooks and unpack the timeless wisdom she shares about love in all its forms—romantic, platonic, and self-love. We discuss how her insights challenge societal narratives, redefine love as an action rather than just a feeling, and explore what it means to love and be loved. This conversation will leave you reflecting on how you give and receive love.

Listen in as we share our biggest takeaways, personal experiences, and thoughts on applying hooks’ philosophy to modern relationships.
