Another bonus episode coming at cha (because you guys keep asking for more PB 💕). This week we’re tackling all the juicy, messy, and real questions you sent in. From situationships who body shame but keep you hooked, to PCOS and the struggle of balancing hormones, stress and infertility —we’re covering it all. We get into dating older men (and big age gaps 👀), emotionally unavailable guys with mixed signals, divorced single moms, and whether that summer fling is worth your time.

Plus: advice for someone who’s never had a boyfriend and navigating body insecurities when you feel like you’re just being used. We’ll also talk about the pressure of timelines, staying open to what’s coming into your life, and even give some bride-to-be advice for a listener planning her August 2026 wedding.
