Beyond Curious

Ok so, let's talk about the boyfriend experience...

After months of chaos, disappearing realities, and emotional whiplash, Jesse reaches the point where the relationship stops feeling confusing and starts feeling impossible.

In this episode, Jesse and Keeks unpack the final unraveling. The manipulation, the coercive control, the obsessive accusations, the emotional performances, and the slow erosion of Jesse’s identity beneath ...

Ok so, let's talk about attachment...

This episode picks up the moment everything should have ended. After a night of interrogation, degradation, and fear, the relationship was over.

But it didn’t end. Over the next 37 days, more than 12,000 messages were sent. Calls. Pleas. Apologies. Declarations of love. Threats. Confusion. Chaos.

And slowly, almost imperceptibly… the door reopened.

In this episode, Jesse walks through ...

Ok so, let's talk about choices...

While Jesse is on the other side of the world, the chaos doesn’t quiet, it escalates. A 4:30am text. A boundary pushed. A relationship “ended”… and then pulled back into the cycle again.

This episode explores how manipulation reframes responsibility, how guilt becomes leverage, and how quickly empowerment can unravel under pressure.

We also flip the lens, what does it feel ...

Before Episode 6, we take a moment to reflect on what's unfolded so far.

We're taking a breath excited to return in the new year.

Have a safe holiday break, and please be kind to one another.

Thank you to all who have listened.

Ok so, let's talk about humanity...

For seven months, Jesse lived inside a relationship that swung between deep connection and growing unease. There were tender moments, shared plans and the beginnings of a life that felt real. But beneath the ordinary beat of a new relationship, something darker was taking shape. A cycle that kept tightening, bit by bit, argument by argument.

When Jesse leaves for Europe, those familiar patterns don...

Ok so, let's talk about Tom Hardy...

June and July blur into chaos as Jesse’s relationship with Danni spins deeper into cycles of love, rage and pseudo-repair. What begins with suspicion over dating apps and “rental ads” turns into legal threats, psychological warfare and emotional collapse. Between therapy sessions, friends trying to help, and moments of deceptive calm, Jesse clings to the hope that the man she fe...

Ok so, let's talk about reckoning...

After Danni's violent outburst, Jesse wakes in a fog, desperate to love the man she fell for back into existence. He calls it dissociation, checks into a psych ward, and rewrites the story casting her as the problem. Then comes Roxi, the “supportive friend” who turns out to be something else entirely.

The lies unravel, the gaslighting deepens, and when the fog finally lifts, Jesse&rsqu...

Ok so, let's talk about emotional triage...

When Danni reveals his cancer diagnosis, Jesse’s compassion draws her closer but something doesn’t feel right. Between talk of wills, chemo, and psychedelic “death journeys,” reality starts to twist. In this episode, love meets confusion, care meets control, and the line between sickness and manipulation begins to blur.

Ok so, let's talk about cancer...

In the opening episode of Beyond Curious, hosts Keeks and Jesse set the stage for a story that goes far beyond illness. Jesse begins unpacking the early days of her relationship with Danni, the charm, the pull, the red flags she brushed aside, and how a sudden cancer diagnosis became the hook that bound her more tightly to him.

What emerges is not a story about sickness, but about love, control,...
