Aly Dee aka RealFemSapien joined the podcast to discuss motherhood, marriage, and the unexpected vulnerability new mothers face after childbirth. She explained how having children reveals fundamental differences between men and women, often testing marriages in ways couples aren't prepared for.

Aly also shared how social media can negatively impact new mothers, suggesting that women need strong community support rather than digital connection during the postpartum period. She closed with advice on dating in the modern world, encouraging people to disconnect from social media and focus on real-world relationships instead.
