    Jenny explores the best dating apps for relationships, including Hinge, Bumble, and Feeld, and gives advice on which platform may be most effective for finding a serious connection. We dive into the psychology of attachment styles as Jenny opens up about her own disorganized attachment style and how it leads to anxious-avoidant behavior in relationships. Jenny also shares her insights on the dating pool dynamics between men and women, especially as they age.

    Later in the episode, we explore a controversial theory: Is unconditional love worth less to some people? Jenny challenges the traditional notion of unconditional love in relationships and how it impacts emotional connections. The conversation then shifts to the current American political climate, touching on fascism, the idea of leaving the country, and how political turmoil influences mental health.

    Tune in for an engaging, thought-provoking conversation on dating, attachment theory, and political discussions, all with a focus on mental health and personal growth. Don’t miss this insightful episode!
