About this listen

In this episode, we’re unpacking “The Barely Minimum”—that magical place where our standards take a nap and our non-negotiables start negotiating without us. We talk about the moments we swore we’d never accept, the red flags we called “quirks,” and the way attraction can turn an obvious dealbreaker into “maybe it’s not that bad.” It’s a deep dive into lowered expectations, mental gymnastics, and why we keep handing out A+ effort to people doing D- work.
