Dating in 2025 is chaotic—but we’re still showing up, swiping, and sharing. In this episode, Adama, Maddie, and Sam get real about their own dating journeys: the highs, the horror stories, and the hilarious in-betweens. From ghosting to green flags, we unpack why finding connection feels harder than ever in the age of dating apps, performative vulnerability, incel culture, and more.

We also lay out our non-negotiables—emotional maturity, consistency, and mutual respect, to name a few—and challenge the idea that women should shrink themselves to be “chosen.” We talk about how men need to show up: with intention, integrity, and the ability to court without entitlement. And we explore why choosing to be single isn’t a failure—it’s a conscious, powerful decision when the alternative is settling for less than you deserve. This one’s part group chat, lots of pep talk, and all truth.

Tune in to feel seen, laugh a little, and leave with a stronger sense of what you won’t settle for. And keep up with the EmpowHERment ladies by subscribing wherever you listen to podcasts and following on socials:

This week, the EmpowHERment ladies talk to Maddie's friend, Troy Tazbaz. Troy lost his wife to colorectal cancer in 2019 and channeled his grief into action by pursuing public service. In 2023, he was appointed by the Biden administration to lead the Digital Health Center of Excellence for the United States Food and Drug Administration, where he was responsible for developing digital health policy, guidance, technology evaluation and approvals for emerging technologies in healthcare delivery.

In this episode, Troy discusses his point of view on why the U.S. needs to reimagine healthcare to drive positive public health outcomes as well as the concerning rise of colorectal cancer in our country. He explains how he managed grief in the wake of his wife's passing and recommends how others prepare for the loss of loved ones.
