In this episode, Amanda and Kelby take a deep dive into a topic that impacts many long-term relationships: why blaming men isn’t helping your relationship. With raw vulnerability and real-life experiences, Amanda and Kelby explore the roots of negative beliefs about men, how these narratives shape our connections, and why letting go of blame can create more love and ease in our partnerships.

Drawing inspiration from the book The Queen’s Code by Allison Armstrong and discussing their own journeys, they break down how old wounds, societal modeling, and “black and white” thinking can infect relationships with mistrust or resentment. The hosts also discuss how blanket beliefs about men (or any gender) often stem from childhood, share compassionate advice for shifting those beliefs, and highlight the power of awareness, gratitude, and open communication in reshaping our love lives.
