Dating While The World Is On Fire

In this episode of Moments to Movements, hosts Vivi Ndaya and Zach Tombo take on a topic that feels deeply personal for many: dating in a world that feels like it is constantly on fire. Against the backdrop of political instability, climate disasters, global uncertainty, and the ever-evolving influence of social media, they explore how their generation is navigating love, connection, and the desire for meaningful relationships. The conversation is rooted in honesty and vulnerability, touching on how dating today often feels like walking on eggshells. From the fear of commitment to the rise of serial dating, Vivi and Zach unpack the emotional weight of trying to form genuine bonds in an era where everything feels temporary.

They explore the tension between the craving for deep connection and the cultural trends that encourage detachment or avoidance. Social media’s role in shaping perceptions of love, perfection, and comparison comes into focus, along with the healing culture that sometimes masks a fear of intimacy. At the heart of the episode is the idea that love has, for many, become a survival strategy. The hosts emphasize the importance of being intentional in relationships, communicating openly, and recognizing that growth and adaptability are essential if partnerships are going to last.

Whether you are actively dating, navigating situationships, or simply reflecting on your own patterns, this conversation offers insight, humor, and a deep sense of recognition. It reminds us that even when the world feels chaotic, the pursuit of love remains one of the most human things we do.
