"Nobody is coming to save me. I am going to be my own rich man."  In this powerful and candid episode of Keeping It Real, host @RealJennGodfrey sits down with independent powerhouse and business owner Nicole (Niki) for an unfiltered conversation on modern relationships, the illusion of digital abundance, and the absolute necessity of self-reliance. @lca_sandiego breaks down the psychological toll of the modern dating landscape, explaining why an addiction to endless variety and constant digital overstimulation makes building depth nearly impossible. Moving far past her divorce, she shares her strict parameters for protecting her peace as a "popular loner," the vital role of extreme confidence in a partner, and why scarcity creates true appreciation.
