This week, Mal and Steggy talk about what made them cry! Which leads into a discussion about gentle men vs violent men. We explore the difference between men who lead with tenderness and men who move through the world with volatility, and how that shapes our sense of safety and trust.And, in true us fashion, the conversation shifts into a fully serious breakdown of our roles in a hypothetical zombie apocalypse. From instincts to strategy to who actually survives, we unpack the gendered dynamics that show up even at the end of the world.

In this episode, I dive into the chaos of modern dating, where nonchalant DMs and bare-minimum effort somehow became the norm..yikes! I reflect on how that culture has shaped the way I, and most of society, interprets interest, why genuine intention can feel suspicious, and how being used to intensity makes healthy pacing feel unfamiliar. I briefly talk about unlearning old patterns, relearning what softness and trust look like, and navigating the tiny panic that comes with the very unfamiliar slow burn. Most importantly, I explore what it means to build a happy, healthy relationship with myself first so that whenever the right person shows up, I’ll be as ready as I can be!

In this episode, Steggy wanders through the constellation of her past red flags, the cosmic kind that look like “potential” until they burn you out. From rescuing the perpetually unlucky to mistaking chaos for chemistry, she unpacks the patterns that kept her orbiting the same lessons. It’s raw and hopefully funny as she turns her heartbreak into a healing spell (with a pinch of self-roast). This is for anyone who’s ever said “maybe this time it’ll be different”...and finally realized they were the magic all along.
