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

• Relationships are mirrors for the parts of us that still need healing

• Control often masks fear of abandonment

• You can’t change someone who doesn’t want to change

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

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

• Loving someone doesn’t mean staying

If you’ve ever confused potential with partnership, this one will hit—and maybe even set you free.
