TRIGGER WARNING: Mental Health, Suicide 

Is it okay to run when you find out a new boo has been diagnosed with a mental illness? What if you’re dating someone who hasn’t been diagnosed but is showing signs? Has rejection in dating or being single long term impacted your mental health? 

This episode Ashleigh from My Happy Journeigh and I had a uniquely light hearted conversation while we tackled some pretty serious subject matter. We also discussed platonic friendships with the opposite sex, the comment I’ve been asked to STOP making on the show, and what it means to be strong and still show emotional vulnerability. This is an episode you won't want to miss!

This week we had a doctor in the house! Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Erika Dawkins joined us to talk about self-image! When dating, it's so important to have a positive image of yourself, your body, and how you present to people. We talk about challenges to loving ourselves and our bodies and Dr. Erika shares tips for the "love your body" ritual that EVERY one should be doing. I got super vulnerable about my concerns dating during Covid while struggling with self-image and we talked all about showing up in spaces bold and unapologetic! This episode is the affirmation you will not want to miss!

Let’s talk about what these two popular movies on singleness, dating, and love got RIGHT and WRONG! Think Like A Man and He’s Just Not That Into You were best-selling books turned into even bigger movies! This is a fun episode, where I sound off and give my commentary on the plot points and themes of these films. FYI: Both these movies are about 10+ years old, so this is spoiler-heavy! I am back dating, and I also tell an insane story about my April Date Challenge failure (THANKS YALL)! Check it out and see if you agree with my hottakes on these cult classics and to hear about my dating shenanigans lol.

It's time for the draft!! Dating multiple men at one time is really not as complicated as it may seem. On this episode I make my case for roster dating, man funnels, or whatever the girls are calling it these days. With a little bit of strategy and clear boundaries, you too can build your team of future baes. Learn how to build a roster, what you MUST know beforehand, and how to make cuts!

Dating is NOT that serious! No really, some women claim dating burnout as a reason they haven't been on dates and it's not true. The simple act of going on a date and engaging in good conversation with a cool person is just that. It does not need to feel serious or complicated. This episode I am running down a list of excuses women make to tapout of dating! This is the tough love episode: It's just a date!

I am tired of people disguising their disdain for women with standards as “dating advice.” There’s this pervasive narrative in the advice arena that women, Black Women in particular, are asking for too much or not valuable until we prove ourselves worthy. I’m calling folks out and deading all that noise. Also I cried during goals this week so there’s that lol.

Talking is NOT a relationship status, especially when you've been hooking up and attached for months. What happened to this generation? Why is no one getting married or wanting serious commitments anymore? In the first episode of the new year, I discuss this new millennium phenom that we all hate but participate in: Hookup Culture.
