Episode 3 Summary: "I Settled for a Musty Man – The Cost of Lowering My Standards"
Listen… I knew better. But I didn’t do better. Why? Because loneliness had me out here accepting the bare minimum—and by bare minimum, I mean he didn’t even like to bathe. Yes, you heard that right. I ignored every red flag, every bad habit, and every funky odor, thinking I could make it work. But what I really did was lower my standards until I didn’t even recognize myself.
In this episode, we’re unpacking:
🔥 Why we settle for people we know aren’t for us
🔥 The dangers of transactional relationships—where they take and never give
🔥 How loneliness tricks us into tolerating nonsense
And most importantly… how to stop ignoring your own standards before you find yourself scrubbing a grown man’s armpits and questioning your life choices.
📢 Tap in to The Rehab Lounge—because we are DONE making excuses for people who can’t even wash their damn hands. 🎙🔥💜
