What does it actually mean to have standards in dating and relationships and why is it so hard to stick to them?

In this episode, we're unpacking a hard truth: the closure we seek from someone else...

Fear of rejection is one of the most powerful (and often invisible) forces shaping how we show up in love. It’s the reason you don’t ask for what you really want.

In this episode, we explore why this longing is so common, especially for women who learned early on to minimise their needs, stay attuned to others, and keep the peace.

And why avoiding asking doesn’t actually protect us… it keeps o...
