About this episode

Dr. Kay and Shallon Lester discuss life advice for women in their 20s, focusing on dating and self-empowerment.

Are you accidentally giving away your power by trying to "fix" the men in your life? In this quick, hard-hitting "Five Minute Friday" episode of Beauty Bytes, I am joined by the fabulous YouTube creator Shallon Lester. Known for taking the guilty pleasure of celebrity drama and turning it into brilliant life advice with a heavy dose of "sass and class," Shalon pulls no punches when it comes to navigating modern relationships. We dive into the harsh realities of dating in your 20s, why so many young women settle for less than they deserve, and the shocking psychological reason why immature men actually resent the women who try to coddle them. If you need a bold wake-up call to start putting yourself first and leveling up your life, consider this your personal intervention.
