In this eye-opening episode of The No Fruit Podcast, Kafi and Maurice sit down with John and Nicole Sonmez for a deep, thought-provoking conversation about self-worth in relationships. Using the powerful metaphor of a Lamborghini and a Volkswagen, the couples unpack what it truly means to understand your value—not in comparison to others, but in connection to your purpose and partnership.

If a Lamborghini and a Volkswagen are part of the same business family, does one really hold more worth than the other? The discussion tackles this idea head-on, shedding light on how identity, ego, and alignment with purpose play a role in how we view ourselves and each other in love and life.

Whether you’re feeling undervalued or simply curious about how couples can better recognize each other’s strengths, this episode offers real talk, honest reflections, and a reminder that your worth isn’t determined by perception—it’s rooted in who you are and who you’re becoming together.

Tune in for one of the most unique analogies we've explored—and leave inspired to reframe how you see yourself in your relationship.
