This episode dives head-first into one of the biggest questions in dating: How do we actually know our type—and are we even attracted to what’s good for us?

Joel (“your favorite friendly Sasquatch”) and E welcome guest Priya to peel back the layers on attraction, trauma, and the stories we tell ourselves about love. The conversation moves from hilarious to healing in seconds—touching on cultural expectations, post-divorce dating, the comfort of being alone, and why we sometimes mistake chaos for chemistry.

They dig into everything from whether calm love can still feel exciting, to why our twenties were all about image and ego, and how our forties are about energy and peace. There’s a deep discussion on self-worth, childhood conditioning, and what it really takes to date consciously once you’ve done the inner work.

It’s vulnerable, witty, and relatable—three adults comparing scars, laughing through self-realizations, and admitting that sometimes the “type” we think we want isn’t what we actually need.
