Thanks for having me Tolly ❤️

[@HappyLifewithMaria]

This was so helpful for me to hear the story of how you got your girlfriend back, and that resolution was "she spoke a different language" and you asked what she likes. 🙏

[@MsJPrecious]

This is a great interview, thansk for being so open Steven. Well done Tolly ❤👌🏾

[@mekaylaarchives]

Love hearing your thought processes Steven!! 🤍

[@yasminwalker4966]

This conversation was unsurprisingly beautiful 👌💛

[@shaziasharif6207]

Steven your the best, love is two complete plp that share each other.. 🥰

[@DamiDare]

This is the most insightful conversation on relationships I’ve consumed in a long time

[@christinestanley5584]

Same 😊!

[@mimicovers97]

He is such a well-rounded, well-spoken and intelligent individual. I like him so much more after this interview! ❤

[@suziesmith9076]

This was a great interview, the love he has for his woman is beautiful and so sincere they clearly are fortunate to have found each other. I do wish he spoke about his relationship with his mother a bit more and how that affected his relationship to black women. he often speaks about her he say ‘black loud Nigerian woman’. Maybe he didn’t today because he was with a black woman but His characterisation of his mum -particularly in his book - always has negative connotations. I find it hard to believe this didn’t play out in his dating preferences

[@jaylaav1166]

Spot on

[@RW-lp9fm]

Yes, spot on

[@monicamo7356]

Bullseye

[@GirlsTalkGlobal]

Spot on!

[@sunvavachi]

I feel that but he must have experienced trauma. Overall he's a great man I think, very vulnerable and open which is good.

[@flightsandfabrics]

Was so damn happy when I saw that Tolly and Steven were about to have a conversation about love ❤️❤️❤️

[@MichaelRhodesno1]

Loved this chat. Steven is so tapped in and tuned in to his emotions and I love to see it. Tolly, you’re doing amazingly as a host. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 💛💛💛

[@HappyLifewithMaria]

Love this episode! I like how Steven described that feeling CALM is how he knew he is with right person. 🙏💖🙏

[@abigailadeyemo]

[@raqueld1891]

Absolutely loved this episode, very insightful and eye opening

[@cocobrown8698]

Really nice and balanced conversation

[@sylviamariabanks2366]

TOLLY!!! I squealed when you said While we’re young, that song has my heart 🥲🫶🏾

[@citrises]

Loved this convo. This is such a great podcast.

[@Evaselfmade]

Listening to Stephen reminded me of dr Joe dispenza sharing how overcoming your old self / breaking the habit of being you brings you to a space of inner peace and great connection to the unified field where you can manifest your desires

[@laurapalmer451]

I don't think the interviewer was at his level here... I just feel like maybe someone like Wumni Bello would have brought out a lot more from him (she's just who kept coming to my mind w this interview). His intervention was very interesting though, I just think she needed a bit more insight on this topic to be able to discuss about it, it sounded like he was teaching her basically

[@lamide_J]

I’m down to watch that story when it’s written!

[@anyayomartha2431]

I have absolutely enjoyed this series. Thank you Tolly. Thank you Bumble

[@robertah2353]

I loved this interview, Tolly you are such a good interviewer! The stuff about conflict resolution was particularly interesting as in the past I have been too combative

[@cindyliang5646]

Great episode! ❤

[@WrightyMedia]

Well done Tolly and well done Steven for sharing. Thanks Bumble, great content, guess and of course host ❤️

[@robashley9876]

Loving this conversation 🙏 ❤

[@CzArODriego]

His story almost made me cry becoz that was literally my childhood

[@TheFloralgum]

Great energy between both of them and fantastic conversation

[@FeelinErie]

Very interesting - I have always been able to communicate better with my dad about the more personal things. Not really with my mum - when I have tried to bring it up with her, I sense that she mentally shuts down when it comes to conversations pertaining to mental health, psychology, self-improvement... I feel that stems from her childhood, so she has overtime learnt to just leave that valve switched off. So I can only really (and she is more enthusiastic about) speak to her about current affairs, celebrity gossip, tv shows, movies.

[@siabatumoe3933]

I didn’t want this episode to end .

[@yvonneedo-olotu2008]

I really enjoyed listening to this episode.

[@BybreenSamuels]

Thank you for this wonderfully engaging conversation.

[@gracecevahir9121]

[@iamhonoree7743]

I love listening to this podcast channel, thank you

[@heavenlythoughtspodcast]

Tolly is stunning!!!😭 I loved this🫶🏾

[@Feeeney23]

Conflict Resolution is 9:20 to 16:40 for anyone who is interested 🙏🏻

[@edisonanthonio132]

Boy! He baited her good at 45:49. Take notes men? Like she said, "Take notes" Man asked what to get her this Christmas(just one) and she roped him for years to come🤣🤣🤣

[@missviiolaaaa]

A Great Listen!!!

[@helenpearce5163]

Amazing chat!

[@HannahN473]

Great conversation! Love this 😊

[@dammyqb]

Beautiful conversation, definitely though provoking!!!

[@Anniciam]

That was beautiful, thank you both

[@ayoyinkas3053]

Great conversation

[@ludwinadautovic]

Steven.. your next book has to be on relationships!

[@Conversationswithesther]

This was amazing chat …. So raw

[@shaunstorm9967]

This was proper ♥️

[@thehoneyeffect]

I wonder if he as ever dated a Black woman before? Ive rarely even see him even speak to one. I doubt that she will talk to him about misogynoir or colourism

[@teej70]

Why do some black women keep obsessing about colorism and black men's relationship preferences?? Just find someone who desires to be with you and stop moaning

[@otibhookharedia896]

Mirror and Magnet theory 100%

[@ADoseofTola]

I really enjoyed itttt

[@yasminwalker4966]

Where are the men that have this level of relationship understanding, chivalry and emotional intelligence 👀 # needle in haystack

[@hjhw100]

They pick Tomatoes out of the ground? They are either VERY new Tomato vines or they are having you on Steve 😂

[@samyaahmed_]

oof when she said "just friends with men and nothing else" ME and that's on absent father issues

[@luciefitness]

Nice one!

[@bree1633]

Did he say a hill in Kenya?🥺🥺

[@olatunjidamilola9609]

Soo good

[@laurened6505]

Maybe we should stop labelling anxious people " needy"? You are only as needy as your unmet needs ... How about we start calling avoidant neglectful? At the end of the day it's all about communication, being honest about your needs and treat your loved one like you would like to be treated.

[@cohlblack]

She's so beautiful

[@marble.lionne]

❤️

[@taramwiza]

Tolllyyy❤

[@EscapedTheMatrix]

Bumble is such a bad app😐

[@jaquelynlevandowski5428]

Keep it up!!! Don't miss out = "promosm"!!

[@pfhrmb]

Women get loads of shit conversation openers coming their way on tinder. So they move to bumble. Where 97% of conversations are started with a 1 word greeting hahaha

[@alexs6950]

Because women put no effort in.

[@pfhrmb]

@@alexs6950 I've seen womens tinder inboxes. Guys are the same. Saying quirky shit to separate yourself from the crowd is lame. That's why online dating is awful

[@deesee6009]

Y'all need Kevin Samuels

[@MonicaEzue]

Such an awesome and needed conversation!! Transformational content! 🤎

[@almurabitun]

Nah fam.. Steven is a great business guy but ber fruity...man gives zesty vibes... allow the talk about mixing masculine and feminine energy in a man. Men should be men end of.

[@munix9351]

Hmm, is his girlfriend white?

[@munix9351]

@Nikita S makes sense now! Thanks
