In this episode we're discussing how the 1970s Blaxploitation era redefined the art of dating. It passed down the notion that dating is mere transactional and that if a man spends money on a date then he is owed a woman's body. Well, that doesn't get us to a lasting relationship with that mindset now does it? We have to return that notion back to the 70s on BOTH ENDS. Dating is just that "to go on a date". It is neither transactional or sexual. How the hell are you both supposed to know each other if one wants sex, throwing money, and talking all about self and the other is begging for an upkeep and talking all about self? We get absolutely nowhere. We are redlining past the days between true chivalry and self exploitation. Reel it back and tune in.

How many many women wished they could have dated young under parental supervision? In this episode, we discuss raising teenagers especially young women. We tend to have a long leash on our young men but yet a shock collar on our young women. We expect them to choose wisely when they become adults but their emotional state haven't even been developed yet. All the things they could have went through as a teenager and would have been taught through they are now learning in their twenties either in college or out in the world with no life jacket and no supervision. How are young women supposed to navigate relationships without crashing out when we don't have the tools to do so? Well tune in and share.

In this episode we get into emotional regulation. What sets a person off? How did you learn to self deescalate a situation? Everyone isn't raised with the tools to do so early hence why we have prisons and diversion centers filled. We all know that even the best of us weren't taught how to regulate our emotions but by adulthood it shouldn't just be "who we are" but something we're willing to change. Silent treatment, "going postal", and even excessive venting are all negative traits learned by someone who didn't have the tools themselves. A therapist is your lifeline. Use it! Graduate! Heal! We all need to be and raise emotionally stable citizens no matter what country you were born in.

Pt 7/7. In this episode we get into the hard part of relationships. The ending. When does does us part. How do you move on when you have more love to give? The anger you feel about the other dying without you? The pain you feel about losing the other? The guilt you feel about wasting time. It's all part of grief and as soon as we start to let that part go then we can begin to live again. Well I don't want to ruin it for you. Tune in now.

Pt 6/7. In this episode we shed a light on empty nesters. What happens between a couple when the kids have recently left the nest? How do you refocus on each other when you don't have to set an example for someone watching you? Learning to date each other or just date when there's no excuse to fall back on can be challenging but it's a good challenge. Don't let this era be an alarm that you don't know each other. Get to know who you are in the present and who they are in the present. Don't give up on what you started. Please in the midst of all the silence, make time for Love!

Pt 5/7. In this episode, we focus on connective intimacy. In a relationship we get so bogged down with work, chores, kids, that we forget or just plain out don't want to connect with each other. Whether it be just touch, a massage, a back rub, or sexual intimacy all of it is needed to recharge the other. I get it a relationship is not all about sex but if it stops prematurely and not collaboratively then it leads to treacherous territories. Sit back, grab a glass or two, and let's see if you can feel the fire.

Pt 4/7. In this episode, we talk about rekindling passion between lovers. A lot of us have passion within us but pouring into one another is where we trip up time and time again. We become too focused on "hooking up" than igniting that passion between us. Passion and seduction starts outside of the bedroom. You just have to observe it to find it. Tune in now!

Pt 3/7. In this episode, we come to a halt as most relationships do. For whatever reason, your relationship is at a stalemate. Arguments become frequently. One or both feel like they aren't being heard. When one or both try to end it but struggle to. Where do you go from here? Ask yourself is this worth fighting for? Block out the noise and the observation of other's relationships and focus on what centers you both. If you're looking for longevity, why? Don't base it off of parents or grandparents because you'll probably never know their struggles to stay. Time periods were different as well. Are you enough? I'm not talking about the other person but are you enough to yourself to keep fighting for someone else? Well, anywho, let's tune in.
