What's More Important Than Being Chosen: What We Learned The Hard Way (So You Don't Have To)
About this episode
The episode explores the importance of feeling genuinely valued in relationships rather than just being chosen.
Why do we place so much weight on being chosen and what does it actually get us? In this episode, we dig into how we’ve confused attention with real investment and chased validation instead of asking whether we felt genuinely valued. We reflect on the subtle ways performative dating shows up and how societal pressure keeps us focused on being picked and why the relationships worth having are built more so much more than simply being chosen.
