I’m unpacking how these relationships really impact our self-worth, the way we excuse red flags, and why it’s so important we start talking about this without shame or judgment.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode was inspired by a listener's story submission about her 19-year-old self and much older situationship, breaking down what’s romantic, what’s manipulative, and how to tell the difference.</p><p><br></p><p>We’ll also touch on a double standard that’s often ignored: female predators and young male victims. Something I wish more people would talk about.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’re younger and in a relationship with a big age gap or looking back at one from your past this episode might hit home…But I hope it brings clarity, validation, and a little more protection for the next generation of chicks!</p><p><br></p><p>Listen to my Plastic Surgery Nightmare episode next on <a href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/emotional-content/id1781324510?i=1000678192935\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Apple</a> or <a href=\"https://open.spotify.com/episode/34GO346B35wg6YbOkBQnRf?si=9701df199ab1462f\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify</a></p><p><br></p><p>If you love Emotional Content and want to see more behind the scenes or connect head over to <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/_emotionalcontent/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@_emotionalcontent</a> or <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/amyjanebrand/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">@amyjanebrand</a></p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Amy-Jane Brand"}
