Ep. 169: The Expectations Shaping How Black Men Love (Part 2) with Mo Louis

In XYBM 169, we sit down with Mo, host of Your Mental Matters podcast, for a special collaboration on relationships, marriage, and love. Mo gets real about whether she actually wants children or just feels socialized to, her fears around pregnancy and her body, and how PCOS has shaped her relationship with her health.

Kizzle pushes back with his own hot takes—why the wedding isn't really for the man, why the bachelor party is the devil, and why the "hoe phase" sets men up for failure in monogamy. They also get into the pressure of being engaged with no wedding date and why moving with urgency instead of priority leads people to marry before they're ready.

This is for anyone trying to figure out what they actually want versus what they've been told to want—and for anyone who's ever questioned the scripts we've been handed about love, marriage, and family. Tune in on all podcast streaming platforms, including YouTube.
