    🔥 HEATED DEBATE: Are Women REALLY Happier Without Men & Kids?

    A YaleGlobal study asks: Should Women Stay Single?—suggesting single, child-free women are healthier and happier than their married counterparts (Read the study here). Angie breaks down the findings, but Vlad pushes back—calling out bias and defending men who try their best in relationships doomed from the start.

    This episode gets spicy as they unpack marriage, fulfillment, and how cultural expectations shape modern love. Expect laughs, sharp insights, and some serious “did they just say that?” moments.

    🎧 Listen now and tell us — is marriage still worth it for women, or is the single life the real winner?
