  • Social Media and Mental Health in Relationships
    Jan 10 2026

    Social media is woven into how we connect, communicate, and love, but it also shapes how we see ourselves and our relationships in quiet, powerful ways. In this season finale of Love Unfiltered, we take a reflective, honest look at how social media impacts mental health and what that means for trust, intimacy, and emotional connection.

    This episode explores comparison, insecurity, validation-seeking, and the pressure to perform happiness online, and how those patterns can spill into our relationships. We talk about digital boundaries, privacy, communication, and how online habits can either strengthen or strain connection when left unexamined. With thoughtful discussion and student perspectives, we unpack how couples can use social media intentionally without letting it control how they love or see themselves.

    This isn’t about demonizing social media or logging off forever. It’s about awareness, choice, and protecting your peace: both individually and in partnership.

    ✨ Tune in for a powerful season finale that invites reflection, gratitude, and intentional growth—online and offline.

  • How to Set Boundaries Without Pushing Love Away
    Jan 10 2026

    Setting boundaries can feel terrifying, especially when you’re afraid of being misunderstood, rejected, or seen as “too much.” In this episode of Love Unfiltered, we unpack the truth about boundaries and why they don’t push love away, they protect it.

Through honest reflection, research-based insight, and real student perspectives, we discuss how to communicate boundaries with clarity, compassion, and confidence—without shutting people out.

    This episode is for anyone who’s ever struggled to say no, felt guilty for choosing themselves, or worried that protecting their peace might cost them love. Because boundaries aren’t walls—they’re bridges to healthier, more honest connection.

    ✨ Tune in for a powerful conversation on self-respect, emotional safety, and loving without losing yourself.

  • The Invisible Burden: Emotional Labor in Relationships
    Jan 3 2026

    Emotional labor often goes unseen, but it’s deeply felt.

    In this episode of Love Unfiltered, we unpack the invisible work that keeps relationships running: managing emotions, anticipating needs, carrying the mental load, and being the “emotional glue” for others. From remembering important dates to smoothing over conflict and constantly checking in, emotional labor can quietly lead to burnout, resentment, and imbalance when it’s not acknowledged or shared.

    We explore:

    • What emotional labor really looks like in relationships
    • How it impacts mental health, communication, and intimacy
    • Why emotional labor is often uneven, and how that affects connection
    • The difference between supporting your partner and overextending yourself
    • How to name, share, and rebalance emotional responsibility without guilt

    This episode invites honest reflection and meaningful conversation around fairness, care, and emotional responsibility. Because love shouldn’t mean carrying everything alone, and emotional care should never be invisible.

    🎧 Tune in, reflect, and join the conversation.
