This week on The Pre-Game, I’m pouring it all out — no chaser. First, we’re diving into the messy truth about gender roles in dating, relationships, and society. Are they outdated, or do some still serve a purpose? Then we get serious, breaking down the early warning signs of an abusive relationship — because sometimes the red flags aren’t as obvious as we think.

But it’s not all heavy. We open the hotline to hear YOUR biggest icks — and wow, you delivered. From friendships that don’t reciprocate your energy, to men with bad breath, nothing was off-limits. Whether you’re here for the laughs, the real talk, or both, this episode will have you nodding, side-eyeing, and maybe rethinking who gets your time and energy.

It’s just you and me this week, friend. I’m recapping my Summer 2025 Euro adventures — from dancing through the nights in Ibiza to chasing sunsets in Mykonos, plus the career wins that made this season even sweeter. I also open up about wanting a little romance (yes, the heart is soft again) and how attending a friend’s wedding made me believe in love one more time.

Then, I take your calls: we’re talking friends with benefits, losing your virginity, learning how to move on from him for real this time, and the underrated power of giving yourself your own damn closure. This one’s part vacation recap, part heart check, and fully unfiltered. Let’s get into it.
