In this episode, the Journey team—featuring founder Dr. Nicole and our social media manager Hayley—dive into the complexities of modern dating.

From navigating dating apps to reflecting on personal relationships, they explore why romance today often feels more draining than uplifting and how dating apps contribute to a culture of judgment.

Through candid stories and professional insights, they tackle topics like online versus in-person rejection, the fear of loneliness, and the importance of building self-worth before seeking fulfillment in others. By the end, you'll gain fresh perspectives on relationship dynamics, the power of communication, and whether love alone is enough to sustain a healthy partnership.
