Episode 4: The Third Archetype

Hi!! Hello!! This episode is coming in a little later than usual. While it’s shorter than the previous three, it’s been the most challenging so far, both in terms of editing and content. In this one, we meet the third archetype in Aphrodite’s dating guide: Nerites. I’m really proud (and a little nervous) to share this one with you.

(Missed episode one, two, and three? Find them here!)

Content note: This episode includes emotionally intense themes, including boundary crossing, sex, and non-consensual dynamics. Please take care while listening.

What do you think about Aphrodite's lessons on desire vs. love? I would love to hear from you!! You can respond to this email directly, comment on the Substack post, or email me at nemo@pulse-fm.com.

Thank you for listening.

Much love,

Show Notes

Pulse.FM’s The Aphrodite Project – Episode 4: The Third Archetype

In this episode, Aphrodite introduces her third archetype: Nerites, a former lover known for his beauty, distance, and refusal to follow her onto land. In the present day, he’s “Nick,” a charming but emotionally removed man who avoids intimacy under the guise of freedom. Set at the Met Cloisters and a Manhattan hotel, this episode asks what happens when love crosses boundaries, and whether being wanted is ever the same as being cared for.

Content note: This episode includes emotionally intense themes, including boundary crossing, sex, and non-consensual dynamics. Please take care while listening.
