You just might be dating with a terrible mindset, babe.If you’re tired of ghosting, red flags, and your friends telling you to “just manifest him,” this episode breaks down what’s actually getting in your way — and it’s not the apps, your ex, or the algorithm.

Lack of chemistry — The myth of “instant spark” and why sometimes the slow burn wins. Hanging with the wrong people — Why your situationships say more about your self-worth than you’d like to admit. Social media Infiltration— How comparing your love life to a highlight reel is making you miserable. Mindset mistakes — How bitterness, overthinking, and fear of rejection quietly sabotage your dating life.Madison and Alyssa keep it real, funny, and a little uncomfortable — because sometimes the truth hurts more than your last situationship.So pour a glass of wine, put your phone on “Do Not Disturb,” and get ready to trade your dating drama for some serious mindset clarity.Support the showLike what you hear?

Sliding Into Chaos: DMs, Double Taps & Digital Drama Ft. @Gomezcomedy
Welcome to the digital jungle — where romance begins with a “hey” and ends with a screenshot. In this episode of Missjudged, Alyssa and comedian Luis J. Gomez (@GomezComedy) take a brutally honest (and hysterical) deep dive into the modern dating minefield known as the DMs.From unsolicited “good morning” pics to messages that read like Craigslist ads for emotional damage, nothing is off-limits. They dissect the delicate art of the slide — the flirty emoji, the “accidental” story view, and the 2 a.m. double-tap that everyone pretends was innocent.Alyssa and Luis swap real stories from the DM trenches: the guy who lived in Alyssa’s DMs for 9 years, and the girl who went full send with a nude.They unpack why social media has turned dating into a public-relations nightmare — where every like, comment, and tagged location can start an argument. Is it cheating if he’s just “networking”? And why does everyone suddenly become a part-time FBI agent when their situationship goes quiet online?Expect plenty of chaotic laughter, hot takes, and unsolicited advice as Alyssa and Luis expose how sliding into the DMs can go from cute to catastrophic in three messages or less.Highlights include: The unsolicited pic epidemic and the “anatomy photo rating system” no one asked for The most unhinged opening messages ever received How digital validation fuels relationship insecurity The psychology of blocking And the honest truth about who really slides first The most unhinged opening messages ever receivedIt’s funny, unfiltered, and a little too relatable — a full breakdown of what happens when love lives online and everyone’s ego has Wi-Fi.Support the showLike what you hear?
