    The EGO VS EGO Podcast: S2 | EP2

    Season 2, Episode 2 of The Ego vs Ego Podcast brings Ego Ferguson Sr. and Joy together for a conversation about relationships, standards, culture, trauma, and the cycles people inherit without always realizing it.Black women are often judged differently for having standards. Men are taught to provide, but are they always taught how to truly consider their partner? And how much of the way we love, date, communicate, and choose partners comes from personal preference versus the environments, history, and survival patterns that shaped us?This episode gets into:• Black women, dating standards, and the “angry Black woman” stereotype• Consideration versus simply providing financially• Cultural differences in relationships• Interracial dating and the Passport Bros conversation• Trauma and how it can show up differently from person to person• Generational patterns that continue long after the original circumstances are gone• Accountability and the responsibility to change unhealthy cycles• What it takes to raise boys with a different understanding of relationships, love, and partnershipSome experiences deserve understanding. Some patterns still require accountability. Both can be true.*Ego vs Ego Season 2, Episode 2* is a conversation about examining what we were taught, questioning what we normalized, and deciding what we want to carry forward.Subscribe to Ego vs Ego Podcast on YouTube and join the conversation.Follow on Instagram: @egovsego9 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
