They explode myths about single life, preach why relationships should feel good, and trade outrageous stories about the men who show up at her shows. Zainab spills on honesty in dating, her biggest red flags, flirting with younger guys, becoming “ugly” to exes, why men can glow up with age, and the tiny romantic gestures that actually matter. This episode is equal parts warm, brutally honest, and wildly funny — you don’t want to miss it.
