In this episode, my sister and I dive into dating from a perspective we’ve learned through experience: women set the tone. We decide the standard. We teach people how to treat us by what we accept, what we expect, and what we refuse to entertain.
We talk about why having high standards isn’t “too much” — it’s a form of self-respect. It’s knowing your value and understanding that the right person won’t shrink from your expectations; they’ll show up for them.
Together, we explore how to date with confidence, how to stick to your boundaries even when you’re excited about someone, and how to avoid settling in a world that constantly encourages it.
This episode is all about choosing intentionally, trusting your worth, and reminding yourself that you’re allowed to expect effort, consistency, and genuine connection — without apology.
