Intentional Dating vs. Performative Dating… You Pick

In this episode of The Not So Bad Bachelor Pad, Joshua Jones sits down with dating coach Shelley Badayos to unpack the messy, magnetic world of modern romance. Shelley shares how she traded scrubs for coaching and why confidence, intention, and real self-awareness matter way more than perfectly crafted dating “performances.” They dive into the biggest pitfalls singles fall into, why genuine curiosity beats game-playing every time, and whether men and women can actually stay just friends. Plus, they explore what sustainable growth looks like when you’re tired of pretending and ready for something real.
