“In life and love, you have two choices: Ride or Lie.”

This week, Shan and CoCo are keeping it real about dating then vs. now… and how much (or how little) has actually changed.

From joking about sugar daddies to questioning whether spinning the block is ever worth it, the conversation takes a deeper turn into how women evolve in what they want, what they tolerate, and what they’re no longer falling for.

They reflect on high school dating experiences, the types of men they used to entertain, and how maturity, self-awareness, and life responsibilities have reshaped their standards.

And then there’s “Todd.”

Inspired by their new micro-drama series Circles of the Ridge, they break down the classic “charmer” archetype… the smooth-talking, overly polished guy who knows exactly what to say and do. The question is: are women still falling for that?

Or have we finally learned to see through it?

This episode dives into:

• The idea of “spinning the block” and when (if ever) it makes sense
• Why charm alone doesn’t hit the same anymore
• The difference between validation vs. genuine connection
• How self-awareness impacts the type of partners we attract
• What actually matters now vs. what used to

It’s funny, honest, and a little nostalgic… but ultimately about growth.

Because at some point, it’s not about who looks good on paper… it’s about who actually adds value to your life.

Has Shan finally found the one?

In this episode, Shan and CoCo are joined by Marlon, a close friend of the show, who challenges what we think we know about emotional maturity, intentionality, and modern relationships.

After meeting on a dating app and ultimately choosing friendship over romance, Shan found herself experiencing something unexpected with Marlon: consistency, clarity, and the rare feeling of being genuinely seen and wanted...all the things she's been looking for in a partner...so what's the issue?!

This conversation dives into:

* Why so many people feel unsatisfied in relationships * The difference between being chosen vs truly being wanted * How intentionality separates real interest from excuses * The truth about poly relationships and emotional maturity

Marlon shares his perspective as a man living a poly lifestyle, breaking down the difference between satisfaction and fulfillment and what it really takes to show up for the people you care about.

If you’ve ever questioned why someone isn’t showing up for you… this episode might give you your answer.
