DeepSummary
In this podcast episode, the hosts Ashley and Rayna discussed various aspects of dating, relationships, and confidence with their guest Serena Kerrigan, a content creator and entrepreneur. They talked about Serena's backstory of how she adopted the persona of 'Serena F*cking Kerrigan' in college to boost her confidence and how it eventually turned into a brand.
The conversation delved into the importance of confidence in dating, finding the right partner, and giving signals to potential partners. Serena shared her experience of meeting and dating her current younger boyfriend, and how she overcame her initial reservations about the age gap. They also discussed the 'screenshot test' and other ways to gauge if someone is the right fit.
Serena explained how she turned her COVID-19 lockdown dating show into a successful business, launching card games like 'Let's F*cking Date' to help people with dating. The group played a game called 'Plot or Not' to determine if certain scenarios qualified as 'doing it for the plot,' a concept Serena advocates for living life to the fullest.
