In this podcast episode, Lizzy, Gloria, and Ellie discuss their ideas around combining lives with a man, moving across the country for love, and their expectations vs. reality. Their three totally different perspectives make this a highly entertaining conversation full of humor, a few deep moments, and (as always) the juicy details of their love lives and relationships. Jumping off from the popular TV show "Love Is Blind," they take a closer look into these topics and more. Was Brett crazy for spending so much money on shoes and clothes? Should Chelsea give up her pink apartment? Is it worth it for Kwame to leave his city to marry? Is Tiffany too obsessed with money, or just making sure she's going to be secure?

**Being on a Reality TV Show/Experiment 0:00-6:44 Lizzy shares her experience with reality TV and why she "shouldn't" be on it

**"Love is Blind" & Combining Lives: 6:45-49:00 Lizzy and the guests discuss what kinds of sacrifices and compromises are worth it when combining lives, and if the contestants on Love Is Blind made the right choices.

**Changing Your Last Name & Partnership: 49:00-1:02:00 Would the ladies change their last name, hyphenate, or hold on? Does it matter?
