Description

In this Meant 2 Be Podcast episode, Marvin & Rachael break down how to stay secure when you’re dating someone attractive—without spiraling, checking phones, or embarrassing yourself. We give you dating advice you can actually use, including a simple 4-question filter to tell the difference between insecurity and real red flags, plus scripts for reassurance and boundaries in relationships (online and in person).Here’s what we cover:

• What “dating a baddie” really means (hint: it’s not about them—it’s about your security + boundaries)
• Why jealousy often comes from unhealed trauma and trust issues in relationships
• The 4 questions to check yourself: pattern vs feeling, evidence vs fear, boundary clarity, and whether your partner is responsive or defensive
• How to ask for reassurance without accusing (verbatim scripts included)
• How attachment styles can make attention feel like a threat (and how to not let it run your relationship)
