Are Women's Standards Too High?

from Seeing Other People

Dr. Shamara Howard joins the podcast for an eye-opening conversation about how dating is changing—and why that's not necessarily a bad thing. We dive into why more women are choosing to stay single rather than settle, how to tell the difference between healthy standards and unrealistic expectations, and what it really means to protect your peace without closing yourself off to love. We also talk about dating burnout, emotional maturity, building a fulfilling life on your own, the "gender war" happening online, and why the healthiest relationships are the ones that make your nervous system feel safe. Plus, Dr. Howard shares her best advice for long-term relationships, how couples can communicate through change, outdated relationship advice that needs to disappear, and the simple habit that can completely transform your relationship.
