I'm Not Gonna Hold Your Hand When I Say This
This is a podcast for people who think deeply, notice patterns, and get tired of pretending they don’t.
Each episode is a real-time rant, reflection, or reckoning about culture, money, power, relationships, spirituality, and the quiet thoughts we usually edit out.
I’m not here to coach you, fix you, or hold your hand. I’m here to say the thing out loud so we can both sit with it.

Episode 6: You Want the Wedding, Not the Work
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A lot of people say they want a relationship or a marriage.
What they actually want is companionship, validation, or the optics of being chosen.
In this episode, I use reality TV as a mirror...not to recap shows, but to unpack the patterns we all recognize. Power struggles, avoidance, performative commitment, dishonesty, and the belief that love should feel easy without requiring effort.
We talk about the difference between wanting a partner and wanting partnership.
Between being in love with the idea of marriage and being willing to do the work it requires.
This isn’t about judging anyone’s choices.
It’s about being honest with yourself before you make promises you don’t actually want to keep.
If you’ve ever wondered why so many relationships fall apart after the excitement fades, this conversation will probably hit close to home.
