What if the problem isn’t dating—but the way we abandon ourselves in it? On Mind Over Masculinity, hosted by Shreya, this episode explores how love shifts when self-respect comes first.

This conversation is for anyone tired of repeating patterns, feeling unseen, or confusing intensity with connection. Suzanne shares grounded insights on personal responsibility, emotional patterns, and how to build relationships rooted in clarity—not need. You’ll walk away with a calmer, more honest way to approach love.
