Ep. 103 She gave love a second chance

HELLOOOO & welcome back to another episode of MOMENT OF SILENCE 💋💌 Still soaking in that Diwali glow? Same — but this week, we’re mixing festive feels with some serious dating app talk. From Bumble parties and love chemistry (literally 🧪) to Gen Z–Millennial dating wars, we’re covering it all. We unpack loneliness, icebreakers, green flags, and why “de-centering men” might actually be the new self-care. Expect chaos, science facts, unsolicited exes, and hot takes on second chances (spoiler: the audience had THOUGHTS 👀). By the end, you’ll question everything — from your dating app bio to whether your ex even deserves that text back. So grab your matcha, plug in, and let’s talk love, loneliness, and the art of finding your person (with Bumble, obviously). 🥂✨ 00:00 – Welcome back!
