About this episode

This episode explores how the internet is negatively affecting modern relationships, highlighting data on breakup culture and the influence of online advice.

I break down how the internet is quietly reshaping modern relationships and not in a good way. I explore the data behind rising breakup culture and why so many people are being encouraged to walk away instead of working things out. We dive into how online advice is influencing real-world decisions and what that means for commitment, patience, and communication. If you’ve ever wondered why relationships feel more fragile today, this conversation will give you a clear perspective.
