Why You Should Never Date During Mercury Retrograde

You’re out of lockdown, finally at a real wedding again, and someone on the dance floor catches your eye. There’s chemistry, connection, shared moon signs, and just the right amount of glitter. But sometimes, even when the vibes are right, the love connection takes an unexpected turn.

In this episode of Well, That Was Awkward, Mendy and Bree share a listener story full of post-pandemic hope, woo-tinged romance, Nashville nightlife, and one of the most awkward twists we’ve heard in a while. From wedding dance floors to burlesque bars to velvet couches, this one has it all.

As always, we’ll celebrate the awkward, embrace the unexpected, and ask ourselves the most important question: What would Dana do?

• Astrology-fueled chemistry
