Episode Details

In Part 1, I talk about the pressure men can feel having to show up in certain ways because of women’s past experiences. I reflect on how the way I move, treat women, and show up has often been different from what they were used to, and how that difference can create new expectations I didn’t ask for. From dating experiences to conversations with friends who questioned how certain situations even happened, I break down how being intentional, respectful, and consistent can sometimes feel like both a blessing and a burden. This episode isn’t about blame. It’s about explaining the reality of navigating expectations you didn’t create, and what it feels like when your character shifts the dynamic.
