The Cardi B Conundrum

In this episode of Relationship Status: Uncomplicated, we start with a controversial comparison involving Cardi B, Offset, Rihanna, and A$AP Rocky. But the conversation is about something much bigger than celebrity relationships.

We're unpacking the “Pretty Woman” fantasy: the idea that beauty, sexuality, access, and attention will eventually translate into the committed relationship you want.

But what happens when the person you're giving access to doesn't see the relationship the way you do?

Sex doesn't create commitment. Access doesn't create intimacy. History doesn't create intention, and being desired isn't the same as being valued.

Drawing from both a real-life story and personal experience, this episode examines the disconnect between what we hope our circumstances mean and what those circumstances are actually communicating.

The question isn't whether you're worthy of the relationship you want. The question is: Is the life you're living actually taking you toward the life and relationship you say you want? It's time to wake up from the fantasy. 

Emotional responsibility changes relationships. Let's make relationships uncomplicated.
