Apr 26, 2024•13 min•Transcript available on Metacast We may not realise it, but many of us subconsciously hide from real love because it forces us to be honest and show who we really are.

Apr 23, 2024•22 min•Transcript available on Metacast I’ve been asked this question several times a week for the last 10+ years. You may feel SO ready to share your life with someone . . . only to have had dates that fizzled out or incompatible relationships . . . or perhaps you’ve remained single with no such person on the horizon. It can even begin to feel like that’s the way it will always be.

Apr 22, 2024•20 min•Transcript available on Metacast On dating apps, first impressions matter. And after you clear the first hurdle of endless swiping and find someone who piques your interest, it’s often the next step that’s the hardest . . . That is, of course: What on EARTH do you say to them?! You scan their bio, hoping inspiration will strike and you’ll manage to figure out the perfect opening gambit. You think: Would a simple “hey” or “great photo” show a lack of imagination? I’d like to just be myself, but it can feel so hard to be authenti...
Apr 19, 2024•10 min•Transcript available on Metacast We are often told to "trust our instincts" in love and relationships.

Apr 10, 2024•38 min•Transcript available on Metacast A bad date—where we know we won’t see the person again—can be frustrating since it wastes our time. But what’s even MORE frustrating?

Mar 25, 2024•12 min•Transcript available on Metacast If you’ve been in the early dating stages with someone, you may have noticed after a few weeks when you get one of those “uh-oh” moments. Maybe they didn't call when they said they would. Or they're a little ignorant about something that’s important to you. Or appeared to take something you did for granted. It might not be terrible behavior, but you know it’s behavior you don’t want to be a pattern for the rest of your relationship. So how do you handle the conversation without letting your emot...

Wouldn’t you rather they go home in a romantic haze, unable to take their mind off this new, unendingly fascinating person who they just pray will answer their texts the next day? Thought so. If...
