About this episode
The episode discusses unhealthy relationship patterns depicted in teen romance movies and TV shows and their impact on young women's expectations of love.
In this episode, I share my thoughts on teen romance TV shows and movies, and how the relationships they portray often lean more toward chaos than connection. Looking at these stories through an adult lens, it’s hard to ignore how much drama, insecurity, and emotional imbalance are presented as normal or even romantic. This conversation explores how these portrayals can shape expectations for young women, and why it’s important to question what we’ve been taught to see as love. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Want that chapter checklist just Click Here!
