In this episode of Holdin’ Space with Z and Lee, Z opens up about reconnecting with his inner child and what it means to move through life with softness, even when everything around you feels chaotic. Together, Z and Lee get into the realities of dating in New York—the apps, the mess, the moments that leave you spiraling at 2AM - and how friendships are often the real love stories carrying us through.
They explore the lines between platonic and romantic intimacy, whether you could raise a child with a best friend, and why we should be putting more love into our chosen family. The conversation also weaves through NYC’s political tension, protest culture, and how safety and softness can feel like a privilege in the current climate.
And yes, they even touch on how economic chaos - tariffs, rent hikes, and the cost of literally existing - adds to the pressure. It’s an honest, layered look at how we’re all trying to grow, connect, and just stay soft in a world that keeps getting louder.
