4w ago00:34:25Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Thoughts Of An Average Joe, the crew dives into one of the most common phrases in today’s dating culture: “Know your worth.” But what does that actually mean? We break down the fine line between healthy standards and pure entitlement, discussing how social media, ego, trauma, and unrealistic expectations have reshaped modern relationships. Are people truly valuing themselves — or just overpricing themselves out of genuine connection?

Transcribe →Season 6 Episode 289: (Season 6 Finale)The Relationship Resume Part 4: Building A Healthy Relationship Resume w/ Tyler
Dec 2601:17:29Tap to summarizeWelcome back to another episode of "Thoughts Of An Average Joe." In the final episode of The Relationship Resume Series, the focus shifts from awareness to action. After unpacking healing, over-qualification, and the fear of being truly seen, this episode breaks down what actually belongs on a healthy relationship resume.We explore why money, status, looks, and lifestyle may attract attention but don’t sustain connection — and why emotional maturity, accountability, consistency, and communication matter far more. This episode challenges listeners to turn healing into real-life skills by showing up differently, not just talking about growth.At its core, Episode 4 is about choosing authenticity over approval and alignment over performance. A healthy relationship isn’t built on impressing someone — it’s built on who you are when no one’s watching, and how you show up when it matters most.Youtube Link: https://youtu.be/2D9zpwzbuK8
Transcribe →Season 6 Episode 288: The Relationship Resume Series Part 3: The Fear Of Being Seen: When Love Feels To Exposing
Dec 1700:39:22Tap to summarizeWelcome to another episode of "Thoughts Of An Average Joe." Today we dive into episode three of the Relationship Resume Series. In episode 3, we dive into one of the quietest but most powerful obstacles in modern dating: the fear of being truly seen. After exploring dating while healing and the pressure to be “over-qualified” in love, this episode focuses on what happens when the résumé drops—and the real person has to show up.This conversation unpacks why vulnerability feels dangerous, especially for people who’ve been hurt, rejected, or misunderstood in past relationships. We discuss how emotional walls, humor, independence, and “I’m good on my own” mindsets often mask a deeper fear of exposure rather than strength.The episode also explores how wanting love can conflict with the fear of being known—how people crave connection but pull away the moment someone gets close enough to see their flaws, insecurities, or unmet needs. Listeners are challenged to reflect on whether they’re protecting their peace or protecting their wounds.Episode 3 encourages honest self-reflection, reminding us that love doesn’t require perfection—just presence. Being seen isn’t about having it all together; it’s about allowing someone to witness who you are in real time, unfinished and human.Youtube Link : https://youtu.be/KbydJjQRU7cGood Pods Link:Thoughts Of An Average Joe Podcast - 10 Best EpisodesWEBSITE IS NOW UP!!!! www.theaveragejoemedia.com****IF YOU WANT TO REACH OUT TO ME ABOUT "AVERAGE JOE MEDIA" email me at admin@theajmedia.com or GO TO THE WEBSITE AT theaveragejoemedia.com for your podcast needs you be disappointed!!!Also if you want to be featured on the Creative Corner Segment, Podcast Plug Segment, or Everybody Eats Segment email me at admin@averagejt.comThoughts Of An Average Joe Podcast Info:Facebook Page: Thoughts Of An Average Joe Podcast Follow the twitter: averagejtpc Follow the Instagram: (@averagejtpc) (@theoriginalplaymaker) & (@theaveragejoemedia) Instagram hashtag: #toajpodcast #yafavaveragejoe #theaveragethought #creativecornersegment Email: admin@averagejt.com and admin@theajmedia.com
Transcribe →Season 6 Episode 287: The Relationship Resume Series Part 2: When Dating Feels Like A Job Interview w/ Tyler
Dec 1500:55:59Tap to summarizeWelcome back to another episode of "Thoughts Of An Average Joe." Today we dive into part two of The Relationship Resume Series. This episode is titled "When Dating Feels Like A Job Interview and I bring on Tyler to talk about this. In this episode we unpack how modern dating has turned into a checklist-driven job interview. From social media pressure to emotional résumés, many people feel the need to oversell themselves just to be considered worthy of love. But being “over-qualified” on paper doesn’t mean you’re emotionally ready for connection.This episode explores how dating standards, past trauma, and fear of rejection push people to perform instead of be present. We talk about the difference between emotional credentials and emotional availability, why people chase partners they think they “should” want, and how trying to meet every requirement often leads to burnout, misalignment, and shallow connections.At its core, Episode 2 challenges the idea that love should be earned through perfection. Real relationships aren’t built on resumes and checklists — they’re built on honesty, effort, and emotional readiness.Youtube Link: https://youtu.be/pT5C4ZAYcfMThank you for listening to this series!!Good Pods Link:Thoughts Of An Average Joe Podcast - 10 Best EpisodesWEBSITE IS NOW UP!!!! www.theaveragejoemedia.com****IF YOU WANT TO REACH OUT TO ME ABOUT "AVERAGE JOE MEDIA" email me at admin@theajmedia.com or GO TO THE WEBSITE AT theaveragejoemedia.com for your podcast needs you be disappointed!!!Also if you want to be featured on the Creative Corner Segment, Podcast Plug Segment, or Everybody Eats Segment email me at admin@averagejt.comThoughts Of An Average Joe Podcast Info:Facebook Page: Thoughts Of An Average Joe Podcast Follow the twitter: averagejtpc Follow the Instagram: (@averagejtpc) (@theoriginalplaymaker) & (@theaveragejoemedia) Instagram hashtag: #toajpodcast #yafavaveragejoe #theaveragethought #creativecornersegment Email: admin@averagejt.com and admin@theajmedia.com
