Including us. In this episode, Bonnie and Farzad are diving into TWO topics that are guaranteed to spark some debate: 💌 PART 1: Dating & Modern Relationships From modern dating expectations and relationship dynamics to the unwritten rules nobody seems to agree on, we're sharing our perspectives on what dating looks like today. 🔥 PART 2: Uncomfortable Truths & Controversial Conversations We're getting into the conversations people tend to avoid, the opinions that might raise a few eyebrows, and the uncomfortable truths that deserve to be talked about. Two people. Two perspectives. A whole lot of opinions nobody asked for. We're not relationship experts, and we're definitely not here to tell you how to live your life.
