Jillian Turecki | QCODE
About this episode

Jillian unpacks the viral "Black Cat and Golden Retriever" dating theory that has taken over social media. She explores its heteronormative roots, its misguided take on relationship dynamics, and why it sets people up for failure. She dissects the archetypes of the aloof femme fatale and the obsessive pursuer, shedding light on how they perpetuate insecurity and avoid true intimacy. She offers practical advice on fostering healthier relationships, maintaining individuality, and breaking free from toxic dating myths.
