About this episode

Anisha discusses dating red flags, situationship accountability, and the importance of matching effort to relationship terms.

If your effort is exceeding your contract, this episode is your intervention. This week Anisha is back with the unfiltered truth on dating red flags, situationship accountability, and why effort should always match the terms of the arrangement. First up: the baby and toddler profile photo as a personality tell — and why it predicts chaos every single time. Then, Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson — a masterclass in what happens when you cook Michelin-star Thanksgiving dinners for a man who has not secured any position. Girlfriend package is not wife package. Stop giving benefits on a free trial. We're also covering the Alex Earl vs. Alex Cooper drama (and why two thriving women being pitted against each other says more about us than them), the bachelorette influencer on a sponsored private jet in Saint Barts and the audience that built her, the JP Morgan She-Wolf of Wall Street scandal involving senior exec Lorna Hajdini and Chirag Rana — and whether it's workplace coercion or corporate fiction — and finally, the Met Gala's identity crisis now that tech money has officially displaced artistic chaos.
