Ep 114: The Simplest Dating Advice You Keep Ignoring | #gotherbackpodcast
If you've ever made excuses for someone who just wasn't showing up, this episode is your wake-up call.
Meg and Carrie dig into one of their most-quoted mantras: if he wanted to, he would. From planning dates to sending a simple text, the ladies break down how actions (or the lack of them) tell you everything you need to know with no decoding required.
Megan opens up about how Devin's consistent love and radical transparency transformed her from a woman waiting for the bubble to burst into someone running on all cylinders. They also talk about passing these lessons on to their kids, why ultimatums never work, and the danger of falling in love with potential over reality.
Real talk, real love, and a few laughs along the way. This one hits home.
