Summary
In this week’s episode of the Love Life Podcast, we’re exploring how Gen Z is rewriting the playbook on love and relationships. Is romance really taking a back seat to mental health and ambition, or is the story more complicated than that? We talk about:
• Why Gen Z might be stepping away from traditional dating norms, and whether it’s a pushback against toxic dating culture or something deeper.
• The rise of “situationships,” “explorationships,” and other modern takes on connection.
• How social media and dating apps have shaped (and sometimes distorted) our ideas about love.
• The surprising ways Millennials and Gen Z approach dating, and the lessons any generation can draw from them.
The episode also dives into the emotional toll of modern dating, the fear of rejection, and why vulnerability feels tougher than ever. Don’t miss it!
