In this episode, we read an email from a listener who loves her boyfriend but doesn’t feel like his first choice. We talk insecurity vs. truth, attraction, healing from past relationships, and how to discern if you’re being chosen or just convenient.
Plus, Chocolate Baby Storytime with a family rap session, camping trip confessions, and updates on Premarital Advantage, Father Yourself First, and the Saturday men’s group for Black men.
✨ What You’ll Hear
When “I’ve got a wandering eye” is actually a confession
The difference between normal attraction and shopping for better options
Why journaling your story brings clarity
Feeling chosen vs. feeling like a backup plan
How past trauma shapes dating patterns
Why inexperience can actually be a dating superpower
Choosing your “hard” while still protecting your heart
