In 2026, dating and relationships for women aren’t just private anymore — they’re public, viral, and full of friendfluence on steroids. Your group chat used to be the vibe check; now it’s thousands of strangers in the comments dropping “you’re not crazy,” spotting red flags, and turning leaving a bad situation into a movement.

Robin and Deborah break down the magic (collective storytelling, contagious empowerment, “girl, same” moments) and the mess (absolute advice, surveillance pressure, blurred support vs. judgment). We share relatable stories, debate classy vs. crass online dynamics, and talk about healthy ways to take the wisdom without the unsolicited verdicts.

Whether you’ve posted for advice or watched a stranger’s story change your life, this episode is your guide to navigating the hype squad era without losing your voice.
