Dating in the digital age is a completely different game than it used to be. Swiping left and right, ghosting, breadcrumbing, and situationships have all become part of the millennial love landscape. But with so many choices, why does it feel like finding a meaningful connection has become even more difficult?

Today I’m joined by Lindsey Metselaar, host of the podcast, “We Met At Acme,” where she covers millennial dating and relationships. Lindsey has her finger on the pulse of millennial dating trends, modern dating challenges, and of course our digital dating culture.

I’m going to be asking her all the questions, including:

• Was dating actually easier before dating apps?
• Why do Millennials seem to struggle with defining their relationship status?
• What’s the real reason behind why Millennials are delaying marriage, homeownership, and parenthood?

School shootings have become part of the national dialogue in America, with much of the focus on weapons and security measures. But today I want to shift the lens in this conversation to something that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: Childhood trauma, and how it connects to the mental health crisis underlying these violent acts.

Today, we’re going to examine the long-term effects of childhood trauma and how it intersects with the kinds of violence we see in schools. What would it look like if we intervened earlier—if we could catch the signs of a kid who might be in trouble before it’s too late? Could doing that be part of our gun violence prevention strategy?

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why childhood trauma leads to violent behavior as a teenager.
• The 7 warning signs that a student is in trouble that could lead to a school shooting.
• What specific actions schools and communities can take to prevent trauma from turning into violence.

In a world where access to explicit content is just a click away, pornography has become a significant part of our sexual landscape. For some, it’s a tool for exploring curiosity. For others, the mere thought of their partner viewing porn crosses the line of infidelity. But no matter where you stand, there’s no denying that porn has the power to shape our understanding of sex, our desires, and how we relate to our partners.

Today we’re diving into the psychological, emotional, and ethical dimensions of pornography’s influence on love, trust, and sexual satisfaction. We’re going to explore how porn shows up in our relationships and how we can talk about it openly, without fear or shame.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How watching porn affects our romantic relationships.
• What happens when it becomes a point of contention—or a source of connection—between partners.
• How to bring up concerns about your partner’s porn use without triggering shame, discomfort, or defensiveness.
