Episode 2
What does real intimacy look like? And how often do we mistake control for care? This week on Lovely, Mehak gets personal about love, entitlement, and learning to walk away from relationships that don’t feel safe. She shares her own experiences with intimacy—both the kind that left her questioning herself and the kind that finally made her feel seen.
Then, she sits down with sexuality educator Justine Ang Fonte, a leading voice in consent and boundaries, to unpack how cultural expectations shape our understanding of love. Together, they explore the immigrant lens on intimacy, dating while unlearning, and what it truly means to choose yourself.
If you've ever felt love was something you had to earn, this episode is for you.
