**Content warning-domestic violence and sexual assault are mentioned in phase 2 of the podcast**
In this episode, Dr. Lisa and Dr. Shaunna tackle intertwined themes shaping intimacy and connection today: stealthing and the cost-of-living crisis that's rewriting the rules of dating. The topics reveal how power, consent, and economics intersect in our most personal spaces.
They also explore voting patterns in support or against candidates accused of domestic violence, revealing partisan divides in moral tolerance. Listeners will be reminded that intimacy and justice are never separate conversations -- whether we're talking about consent, class, or culture, power always sets the terms of engagement.
