Today we’re diving into a topic that myself and so many of you will relate to – age gaps, grooming, power dynamics, and the stories we were sold growing up…
From driving in cars, getting drunk with older men as teens to understanding the full picture as an adult. I’m unpacking how these relationships really impact our self-worth, the way we excuse red flags, and why it’s so important we start talking about this without shame or judgment.
This episode was inspired by a listener's story submission about her 19-year-old self and much older situationship, breaking down what’s romantic, what’s manipulative, and how to tell the difference.
We’ll also touch on a double standard that’s often ignored: female predators and young male victims. Something I wish more people would talk about.
If you’re younger and in a relationship with a big age gap or looking back at one from your past this episode might hit home…But I hope it brings clarity, validation, and a little more protection for the next generation of chicks!
