we talk 3 dates in a day, no chemistry, and why vulnerability is terrifying - episode 2

aka: why is vulnerability so hard (and dating even harder)


in this episode, erica goes on three dates in one day (yes, really) and somehow manages to feel… nothing. we unpack what it means when dating feels hollow, how we’re supposed to know if we like someone, and ponder if it's timing or the people.


we also talk about meg’s relationship to vulnerability: how it’s evolved, what still feels hard, and what comes up when you’re suddenly sharing personal stuff with the internet. spoiler: there’s a bit of a tense moment but we figure it out as we do. love conquers all etc.


got thoughts?

have you ever gone on a date and felt absolutely nothing? do you struggle with being vulnerable? we’d love to hear from you:
