In this explosive episode of The Talk Les Show, Lesya sits down with Mr. Let Go to unpack one of the most uncomfortable questions in modern relationships — why do women lie… or maybe, are your feelings even real?

Together they break down the emotional intelligence gap between men and women, how emotions get weaponized, and what “accountability” really means in dating today. From raw psychology to real-life experiences, nothing is off limits — expect confrontation, clarity, and a few uncomfortable truths.

If you’ve ever been told you’re “too emotional” or “emotionally unavailable,” this one will challenge everything you think you know about love, logic, and truth.

Watch, reflect, argue — just don’t lie to yourself.

Les is done being nice.
In this unfiltered solo episode of The Talk Les Show, she breaks down what really went down — the panic attack, the blown-out tire, the men who disappeared, and the ones who tried to “fly her out” instead of showing up.

It’s funny, it’s messy, and it’s real.
Les calls out the bare-minimum era and flips the question every woman’s tired of hearing:
👉 “What do you bring to the table?”

From fake “spiritual cleanses” to $900 Cash App confusion, she’s holding nothing back.
If you’ve ever questioned your worth, this episode will remind you — you don’t need to prove anything to anyone.

You’ve seen him as Nuck on The Chi, but this time, it’s not about the character — it’s about the man behind the role.

Cortez Smith (@cortezsmith.official) joins Courtside Les for a raw, funny, and honest conversation about growing up in Chicago, playing dark roles, and finding peace in real life.

They talk ego, healing, hate, and humor — the parts of the story you never see on screen.
No script. No filter. Just truth.

In this raw and unfiltered episode of the Talk Les Show, we unpack the conversations most people are too afraid to have:

✨ Why “trophy girlfriend” culture is a trap
✨ What really makes a man choose (and keep) a woman
✨ Sex, submission, and whether those rules still apply in 2025
✨ The blurred lines between faith, respect, and double standards
✨ Interracial dating truths and survival vs. love

This isn’t surface-level relationship talk — it’s real stories, hard truths, and the lessons that could change how you date forever.

Listen now and join the conversation that everyone else is avoiding.

This is Part 1 of a 2-part conversation with Cory The Trainer https://www.instagram.com/corytalksnow/ (yes—the coach you’ve seen on Tonight’s Conversation). We unpack why men don’t choose, the 3-Week Rule for real intent, and how to read reactions over actions to spot genuine commitment. We go deep on Black love vs modern dating, emotional compatibility, therapy, femininity vs submission, and the line between gaslighting and growth.

You’ll learn: the two real reasons men pull back, how to communicate needs without playing games, and why validation-chasing keeps you stuck.

Follow the show, rate it, and tell Lesya your biggest dating non-negotiable.

If you’ve ever been confused by someone who pursued you hard and vanished faster - this is your guide. You’re not crazy. It’s just a pattern.
And I’ve seen it enough to warn you.
