271 – Why You’re Not Ready for the Love You Say You Want with Brian & KG

In this episode, I’m joined by two of my favorite guests—Brian, our problematic fav, and KG, our responsible fav—for a real, unfiltered conversation about dating in today’s world. For the first time, we explore the game from both of their perspectives, diving into the chaos, calm, confusion, and comedy that comes with it. 

We talk about the shift from “Brian-type” energy—thrilling but unstable—to “Kenny-type” stability and why so many women say they want the latter but still get caught up in the former. There are moments that left me speechless (literally) as we unpack the roles gender expectations, pop culture, and past relationships play in how we all show up in love.

We also discuss: 💥 Why some women aren’t ready for “healthy” love 👩🏾‍❤️‍👨🏽 Dating apps, emotional baggage & the illusion of high-value partners
