Hot Takes: Dating Rules

Hot Takes: Dating Rules

Welcome to the first episode of our new series, Hot Takes. This time, we're talking all things dating—from first date rules and texting etiquette to slow burns, boundaries, family values, and the relationship "rules" we've picked up (or completely abandoned) over the years. Some you'll probably agree with, some you definitely won't... but that's what makes it fun.

Between You and Us… You Have to Become Her

Becoming someone you're proud of doesn't happen overnight—it happens through the small decisions you make every day. In this episode, we're talking about confidence, self-trust, letting go of what's no longer serving you, and the habits that slowly shape who you become. We talk about why real confidence comes from consistency, why perfection isn't the goal, and how small changes can completely change the way you see yourself.

Between You and Us… Love Shouldn't Cost You Your Friends

We all know someone who disappears the second they start dating someone... and if we're being honest, we've probably all been that person at some point too. In this episode, we're talking about maintaining friendships while in a relationship, why your friends should never be the backup plan, and how to build a relationship that adds to your life instead of replacing it. Because at the end of the day, the right relationship won't pull you away from your life, it'll make it even fuller.

Between You and Us… We Thought We'd Know More By Now

Nobody tells you that adulthood is equal parts freedom, responsibility, excitement, and confusion. In this episode, we're talking about what we thought life would look like by our mid-to-late twenties versus the reality of actually living it. From work and relationships to changing goals and learning to trust yourself, we're sharing the lessons that surprised us most about growing up.

Between You and Us… It’s Time to Start Over

Whether it’s a breakup, a move, a job, or just outgrowing an old version of yourself, starting over can feel really overwhelming. In this episode, we’re talking about the reality of fresh starts — the grief, the freedom, and the opportunity that comes with rebuilding your life in a way that feels more aligned. Because the unknown can be scary, but staying somewhere that no longer fits you is scarier.
