Hopeful Hearts, Harsh Truths & Holding On Too Long [S2. Ep.10]

In this follow-up episode to Part 1, Larissa and Jasy dive deeper into one of the most confronting truths in dating: the difference between loving who someone is and who you hope they’ll become.


Why do we hold onto potential? What part of us thinks we can save, fix, or guide someone into their evolution?


This conversation takes it further—into the emotional weight of romanticizing potential, the illusion of control in love, and how our desire to help or change someone is often a reflection of our own unmet needs.


This episode is here to stir discomfort, clarity, and self-honesty. It’s not just about them—it’s about you, your patterns, and your power to choose reality over fantasy.


KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Dating potential is self-betrayal disguised as love

• The “ick” might be emotional misalignment—not a red flag

• Boundaries are loving—not just for them, but for you

• There’s power in acceptance, even if it means walking away

In this raw and revealing episode of The Bare Collective, Jazzy and Larissa dive into one of the most common emotional traps in modern dating: falling for potential over reality.


Why do so many women stay in relationships hoping he’ll “become” the man they see in their mind? Why do we cling to the fantasy instead of accepting what’s right in front of us?


This conversation is a deep call to self-reflection. We explore the emotional cost of trying to change someone, the illusion of control in love, and how our relationships mirror our own unmet needs and healing journeys.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Dating potential is a form of emotional self-abandonment
