Snooping, Nicknames, And Big Daddy
Manage episode 516833454 series 3657332
What happens after the scroll that shouldn’t have happened? We sit with a listener’s gut-punch moment—finding old texts where her boyfriend admits he still isn’t over his ex—and chart a smarter way forward that doesn’t torch trust or self-respect. Instead of racing into a confrontation built on a privacy breach, we talk about slowing the timeline, watching for patterns, and letting people be who they are. If he’s truly present, the daily signals will show it; if he’s not, stepping back becomes the cleanest answer.
From there, we lighten the mood with the brilliant Sari Beliak, a stand-up comic whose silly-smart style has the “birthday cake with rainbow sprinkles” energy we all need. We unpack the surprisingly delicate art of flirty nicknames in a situationship—what’s playful versus premature, why terms like buttercup or hun keep it breezy, and how a well-timed “Big Daddy” can be either a fun bit or a clarity test. Then we play a Halloween edition of Would You Rather that doubles as relationship wisdom: choose the noise you can dance to, not the whisper that wears you down.
You’ll walk away with grounded relationship advice on boundaries, timing, and communication, plus a dose of humor to keep your heart soft when choices get hard. If you’ve snooped, here’s how to reset. If you’re flirting with labels, here’s how to keep it light without losing your voice. And if you’re craving a night of laughs, we’ve got show details that will make your weekend plans easy. Listen, share with a friend who needs a nudge toward clarity, and subscribe for more candid advice and comic relief.
