Listen "Modern Romance: Social Media, Heartbreak & Faith at the Center"

Episode Synopsis

Some love stories start at the driving range or even in the aisles of Home Depot. In this episode, Natalie-Tasha and Libby sit down with Katelyn and Nicoletta to talk about chance connections, mismatched timelines, and what happens when things just don’t click.

They share why therapy after only a few months can feel like a hot take, how expensive and exhausting dating has become, and why respect and faith matter more than perfect timing. The group also opens up about posting relationships online, keeping private moments sacred, and learning what makes love worth pursuing in today’s world.
