In this episode, I'm diving into five dating dilemmas from listeners! If you want to submit a longer question for me to answer on the podcast or YouTube, here's the link.
Tune in to hear my advice on these dating and relationship issues:
I got my dream job in another country. How should I approach dating?
How do I bounce back from dating burnout when nothing seems to be working?
Why do so many first dates get canceled, and is it something I’m doing wrong?
Is a slow-burn connection worth exploring if it feels more like friendship than chemistry?
Should I risk an 8-year friendship to tell my friend I have feelings for him?

In this episode, we're getting into what standards in dating are (and what they're not) and how to tell if your standards are too high or too low. I get into the dangers of each and how to adjust your standards no matter which category you fall into. Are your standards holding you back? Hint: Too-high standards are a form of self-sabotage, and too-low standards are a form of self-abandonment.
Examples of dating standards:
I date people who have the time to see me in person within days of matching or first starting to talk.
I continue to date people who are consistent in their communication
I sleep with someone when I feel confident there’s alignment in what kind of relationship we’re both looking for
I date people who have the ability to share times that work for them for dates, make plans with me and follow through
I continue seeing people who I’m attracted to by the third date

In this episode, I talk to Clare Cui from @bethathealinggirl about anxious attachment, intellectualizing emotions, and other ways we hold ourselves back in dating and relationships. We talk about the deep conditioning that drives us to seek control through logic, how we end up triggering ourselves without realizing it, and the confusion between intuition and anxiety. Clare shares how anxious attachment often hides in plain sight for high achievers, and we dig into why so many of us look for safety in others instead of creating it internally. This conversation is packed with mic-drop moments and hard truths that will get you thinking differently about your emotions, how you handle them, and how that relates to your love life.

In this episode, I'm deep-diving into ten relationship green flags that aren't talked about enough, how to spot them, and their red flag counterparts. You deserve a partner who has the basic green flags we always talk about like consistency, respect, listening, effort etc. But today, we're going deeper into what it looks like to have a truly supportive partner and the real signs that your partner is empathetic and compassionate. At the end, I address a question about navigating dating someone who shows up in all the right ways but misses the mark on one small but important thing.

In this episode, Ali Jackson of Finding Mr. Height (one of my favorite dating podcasts) is back on the pod to talk about how she met her current boyfriend just days after we recorded our first episode together in 2024. Ali gets into meeting her boyfriend in person, managing anxiety while getting into a new relationship, how she knew she wanted to commit and how she had the "define the relationship" conversation. We also get into dating outside your type, making the first move and why being yourself (even if you're awkward) is always the best move. At the end, Ali shares advice for IRL dating. This episode is packed with advice and will inspire you to keep going, even if you've been dating for a long time.

Get 90+ questions to ask in early dating
Do you ever struggle with what to talk about on a date? Or maybe you want to get better at building real connections? In this episode, I’m sharing tons of inspiration for great questions to ask in early dating, the worst ones to avoid, and navigating tricky conversations without derailing the date. We’ll also dive into the number one topic that so many daters regret not bringing up sooner, how to answer "why are you single" (and what to ask instead). I also share how to ask better follow-up questions and scripts for handling tough topics like past relationships, STI talks, and career gaps.
Why they don't ask questions and how to deal

Situationships are messy, undefined, and often leave you feeling stuck. In this episode, I break down what a situationship really is, how to tell if you're in one, and why they rarely lead to the kind of relationship you want. I’ll share how to get out of a situationship, whether you're the one who wants more or the one who can’t commit, plus tips on avoiding them altogether. I also answer a listener’s question on recognizing red flags early and share my own experience with a situationship that dragged on for years.

This week, I’m joined by Natalie Kennedy, founder of Anxious Love Coach, to talk about her experience with relationship anxiety and Relationship OCD (ROCD). We get into what it looked like in her relationship, the steps she took to work through it, and what “working on yourself” actually means, both in and out of a relationship.

In this episode, Casey Tanner, founder of Queer Sex Therapy and The Expansive Group, shares their journey, from navigating insecurities as someone newly exploring queer dating to meeting their current partner. We dive into dating IRL as a queer person, long-distance relationships, and what to do if you're intimidated by dating women. Casey also breaks down common queer sex myths, explores how gender roles translate in queer relationships, and shares mistakes they've made along the way. I love Casey's honest take on how it feels to date women as a woman with zero experience. Even if you’re straight, there’s plenty to learn from this fun conversation!

If showing interest in the person you're dating is scary, this episode will help! Showing interest when you're interested is key in developing a secure, healthy relationship in the early dating stage - even when things feel uncertain. I'm breaking down the appropriate, not-desperate ways to show someone you're into them before you're committed so they know exactly where you stand. On the flipside, listen to learn ways people may be showing interest in YOU that you could be missing. At the end, I'm sharing results from a survey I took on what people really want for Valentine's Day.
