This week Stephanie opens up about a recent phenomena she has been experiencing, Angel numbers, through Travis' eye rolls and judgment. Do you believe in coincidences or does everything happen for a reason? (This is episode 44, I'm just saying.)
Travis’ “Did You Know?” this week tried to undermine our whole message, the honeymoon stage NEVER EVER has to end. Then they discuss how to decipher between healthy expectations in a relationship, versus asking for too much. At times Stephanie has felt she expected Travis to be her father. He’s “Daddy” but not THAT daddy. Travis’ go with the flow personality has been helpful in never really setting many expectations. Is this a good or bad thing?
Lastly, on “Oh So Yall Can Relate”, Travis pleads with the writer to RUN. Stephanie is hopeful that therapy can work. Is your partner's support during a vulnerable moment negated when they use it against you? Stephanie discusses how in the past she thought some physical abuse was acceptable. She's vulnerable about how her childhood impacted how she dealt with disagreements in her early relationships.

Episode 045: Red Flags VS Yellow Flags

Have you had that “ah ha” moment where you realize life is short? People wiser than you have been telling you for years, but there's a moment when you actually believe it. What are you doing to prioritize spending time with the people you love?
NOT EVERYTHING IS A RED FLAG. Don’t let ‘yellow flags’ keep you away from your person. Red flags have been polarized in the media. This can lead to unrealistic expectations and some may be left feeling unlovable. We all participate in at least one behavior that social media will label as a red flag.
Is it acceptable for a man to ask a woman he is courting... ”When are you taking me on a trip?” Well the answer to this changes depending on the context. Travis calls Stephanie out for not buying him a chain. Stephanie self-diagnosed herself with being allergic to spending money on men. Is it a double standard or is it a fair way to undo the impacts of a patriarchal history?
