380. A big life update...

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/2e105c9a-40d4-41e8-80fe-b3e200ffd10a/transcript

Dating and sex can feel like they come with a hidden rulebook. You’re meant to be adventurous but not too adventurous, confident but not reckless, and always somehow immune to consequences. So the potential of catching an STI – whether it’s a scare, a diagnosis, or a message from a clinic – can feel not only a health impact, but also a judgement on our character.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the psychology of STIs in our 20s why they carry so much shame, how stigma shapes the stories we tell ourselves, and what it looks like to navigate disclosure with self-respect.

We explore:
•        How common STIs really are
•        The most common infections in our 20s
•        The difference between treatable and manageable
•        The role of sexual shame and purity culture
•        How shame drives secrecy and avoidance
•        When and how to tell a partner, and what to do if you face rejection

If you’ve ever felt panicked, embarrassed, or stuck in your head about sexual health, this episode is for you.

379. I got an STD in my 20s, now what?

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/a2ed5312-a44d-4815-887c-b3e000d2449a/transcript

One minute it’s exciting, the next it’s endless options, half-conversations, and the dismissive feeling of being judged (or ignored) by people who don’t actually know you. In this episode, we’re getting into seven tips for surviving dating apps in your 20s, while looking at what they’re designed to do, why they can leave you feeling burnt out, and how to use them in a way that protects your confidence rather than draining it.

We explore: 
•        How dating apps are designed to be addictive
•        The rules to stick by to keep your sense of self
•        The importance of a clear and honest profile
•        Why they’re not a replacement for meeting in real life
•        Why you shouldn’t take anything personally
•        How to take a step back to avoid burnout

If you’re in a cycle of deleting and redownloading Hinge every few weeks, this episode is for you.

378. Your guide to surviving the dating apps in your 20s

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/076607bd-5cff-4ab6-93c5-b3d9011f92b2/transcript

When we move through our 20s, it can feel like everyone else is making big, brave moves - new cities, new jobs, new relationships - while we’re stuck in the same place, overthinking every possible outcome. Change sounds good in theory, but in practice? It’s terrifying. In today’s episode, we dig into why we resist change, and what it actually takes to move forward even when part of you wants to stay the same.

We explore:
•        Why change feels so overwhelming in our 20s
•        How loss aversion keeps us clinging to ‘fine but not right’ situations
•        What we really lose by staying the same
•        Why some of the best, most aligned decisions are also the scariest
•        How to build a more compassionate, positive mindset around change
•        Practical ways to take action with your fear, instead of waiting for it to disappear

If you’re stuck in the loop of wanting change, but being scared to action it, this episode is for you.
