Our guest shares her own story of falling for someone she swore she wasn't ready for, and why "bad timing" might be a myth we tell ourselves out of fear. 🎙️ This episode is for anyone who's ever talked themselves out of something good because it didn't fit the plan. You'll laugh, you'll probably tear up a little, and you'll walk away believing that the right person doesn't wait for perfect timing — they just show up. Grab your headphones, this one's personal. ✨ #LoveAndRomance #RelationshipStories #Episode90 #LoveTakesTime #RealLoveStories]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[http://linktr.ee/ahammedemteazshakib]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">5dfffa84-63b4-407d-aa42-2fe561790f85</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/5da3422f-eda7-4192-821a-b518f9673fb1/untitled-design.jpg"/><pubDate>Mon, 07 Sep 2026 18:07:00 -0400</pubDate><enclosure url="https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/d158b9ad-f410-4086-84c9-4b016be06627.mp3" length="5535525" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>11:32</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>90</itunes:episode><podcast:episode>90</podcast:episode><podcast:season>1</podcast:season></item><item><title>#89 Is &quot;Never Date A Coworker&quot; Actually Outdated Advice</title><itunes:title>#89 Is &quot;Never Date A Coworker&quot; Actually Outdated Advice</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[💼 The blanket "never date a coworker" rule ignores how a huge number of adults actually meet people now, and this week we're getting into when that rule genuinely applies and when it doesn't.

Today, our community manager Jordan Ellery turns the mic around on me. 😳 We get into what genuinely surprised me most across seventy episodes, which conversation quietly exposed one of my own patterns, what I actually use in my own life versus what I still struggle to practice, and an honest, personal update on where I'm actually at with all of this myself. 🎧 No expert theory today, just me, answering the questions I usually get to ask everyone else. If you've ever wondered whether the person hosting a relationship podcast actually has it all figured out, spoiler, I don't, and this episode proves it. 👉 Podcast growth & marketing: https://upwork.com/freelancers/ahammedemteazs #Episode70 #BehindTheMic #RelationshipPodcast #LoveAndRomance #PodcastMilestone]]></content:encoded><link><![CDATA[http://linktr.ee/ahammedemteazshakib]]></link><guid isPermaLink="false">b6424516-bdf8-48e0-9606-abbf4bdb1400</guid><itunes:image href="https://artwork.captivate.fm/5da3422f-eda7-4192-821a-b518f9673fb1/untitled-design.jpg"/><pubDate>Tue, 25 Aug 2026 05:48:00 -0400</pubDate><enclosure url="https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/bc2cccfb-6d23-410c-bb60-e0fee3b4b5ba.mp3" length="4156501" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:duration>08:39</itunes:duration><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>70</itunes:episode><podcast:episode>70</podcast:episode><podcast:season>1</podcast:season></item><item><title>#69 The Speed Of Your Relationship Means Less Than You Think</title><itunes:title>#69 The Speed Of Your Relationship Means Less Than You Think</itunes:title><description><![CDATA[⏱️ Here's a claim that goes against almost everything people assume about dating — how fast your relationship moves has almost nothing to do with whether it actually lasts.
