About this listen

You’ve heard the saying “If they wanted to, they would” — but would they really?

In this episode, Dionne unpacks why that phrase sounds empowering but is secretly ruining your relationships. From silent expectations to the ego, pride, and fear that stop us from saying what we actually need, this one’s a mix of truth, tenderness, and comedy therapy.

We talk about how people love and show care differently, why “matching energy” is emotional nonsense, and how to build healthier relationships without losing your sense of humour (or your boundaries).

If you’ve ever said “I’m fine” when you were clearly not fine — this episode’s for you.

🎧 Real talk, reflection, and a little chaos — only on Money for Plantain.
