Welcome to No Gold Stars - The emotional GPS to sex, dating, and relationships.
Matchmaker & Date coach JJ Wu Chang and Personal Life Coach Gabriella Hughes navigate questions around sex, dating, relationships, sparking thought and conversation in your lives.

No gold stars to me refers to the fact that you can do everything right and you won’t be applauded for it, so if you’re doing all these”right things” there needs to be a level of self validation behind it. No Gold Stars is a term used by us to really tell people that you don't get a pat on the back for doing the right thing. It's hard to understand why anyone would continue forward along that path if there isn't even anything to achieve. There is no award, no certificate, and definitely no money for doing the right thing; just the feeling of knowing you did the right thing in that given situation.

JJ and Gabby unpack all the ins and outs of the complexities of what a relationship can be, talk through their own personal experiences and how weird the whole ordeal can be.

No matter where you are in your journey in life, there's always room to explore and grow within the experience.
