When Shiv’s hot take from a previous episode sparked a bigger conversation, we knew we had to go there. In this honest and unfiltered episode, Shiv and Dave dive into the question so many women quietly (or loudly) ask… are there actually good men out there?

Together, they unpack the beliefs, wounds, experiences, and expectations that shape how we see men, relationships, and what it really means to be “good.” From challenging assumptions to exploring what personal growth actually looks like on both sides, this conversation is full of perspective shifts, hard truths, and plenty of hot takes along the way.

In this episode, we’re sharing the story of our breakup, what led to the relationship ending, what we didn’t fully understand at the time, and some of the hard truths we both had to face after walking away. We talk about the heartbreak, the confusion, the season of no contact, what made Shiv decide to reach back out, and what gave us the confidence to believe trying again could actually be different.

If you’re navigating a breakup, questioning your relationship, or wondering if people can truly change, this conversation is for you. We share what had to change, both individually and together, how we rebuilt trust, and how we were able to create a relationship that feels healthier, safer, and more connected than ever before. This is a conversation about heartbreak, healing, second chances, and what it really takes to create lasting love.

Taking accountability without getting defensive is one of the hardest and most important skills in relationships. In this episode, we talk about what it really looks like in real life, especially in those moments where your instinct is to shut down or push back. We break down how defensiveness is often just self-protection rooted in shame, and how it can quietly get in the way of feeling close and understood.

We also get into how to take accountability even when you don’t fully agree and how to care about your partner’s experience without feeling like you’re giving up your side. Because when defensiveness becomes the norm, conversations start to disappear and resentment takes its place. At the end of the day, every moment of conflict is a choice: protect yourself or grow the relationship.
