Having a Boyfriend is "Embarassing" Now? Unpacking Partnership | with Emily Duncan and Chris Beal
18 Nov 2025
In this tandem episode, I'm unpacking a question posed by the viral Vogue article: "Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now?" We'll talk about the cultural shift that's made women feel like being in a healthy relationship somehow makes you weaker, less independent, or less "girlboss." I share how I've seen internet feminism swing too far into performative man-hating, why that still feels like centering men, and how to reclaim power, partnership, and sovereignty at the same time. I also open up about what it's looked like in my own life — from losing myself in unhealthy relationships, to re-rootingwho I am, and now finding myself in a relationship that's healthy, supportive, and expansive. This is a conversation about nuance, leadership, and emotional maturity, and about learning to build a life that's self-led and open to love if you want to pursue partnership. You'll hear: Why "decentering men" still secretly centers them How social media's "soft hate" toward partnership keeps women disconnected The difference between self-abandonment and healthy interdependence What true feminine sovereignty looks like inside a relationship How to build your identity so partnership is additive, not definitive For the high-achieving hot girls that want to recover better, support glowier skin, and promote longevity through better cellular health, get 20% off your first order of Mitopure and make wellness easier than ever.
