Disposable Intimacy

Modern dating is psychologically damaging us.

Or at least that’s what my dating life feels like now.

Not love.
Not connection.
Not even heartbreak.

Just temporary emotional access with an expiration date nobody warns you about.

In this episode, I talk about:
— matching with the same man twice months apart
— realizing our kids go to the same school
— how quickly people disappear once connection starts feeling “too real”
— and why modern dating feels more psychologically exhausting than ever before

Because somewhere along the way…
people started treating intimacy like a convenience instead of a responsibility.

And honestly?

I think a lot of us are grieving relationships that never technically existed.

This episode is about:
the almosts,
the emotional whiplash,
the fake familiarity,
and the silent grief of trying to connect in a world full of emotionally unavailable people pretending they want love.

If you’ve ever sat staring at your phone wondering:
“what the actual fuck is dating now?”

This one is for you.
