On this episode of “What Are You Even Talking About?” I’m joined by Dr. Breanna Reeser for a conversation that cuts through the performative noise and gets honest about relationships—online and in real life.

We start with the social media problem: how easy it is to confuse visibility with credibility, and how damaging “confident but wrong” advice can be when people are trying to make serious decisions about their hearts, families, and futures. From there, we move into what actually builds connection—authenticity, accountability, and real communication—not curated perfection.

This episode is about redefining success in relationships: not by how long something lasts, but by how safe, truthful, and growth-oriented it becomes. We talk through trust-building, what it means to introduce a partner to children (and why that step deserves more intention than most people give it), gaslighting and how to recognize it, repairing relationships after harm, and the hardest question of all: when someone hurts you, do you stay—or do you walk away?

Throughout the conversation, we emphasize self-reflection without self-blame, boundaries without cruelty, and communication that actually changes outcomes instead of repeating the same fight in different costumes.

We also answered subscriber questions on relationships—so listen closely… yours might be in the episode.
