8 DAYS OF DATING OPTIMISM: Trust In Your Timing (Day #1)

Sun, 14 Dec 2025

As we approach the new year, we're bringing you a special series: the 8 days of dating optimism, where we air the top episodes that restored our hope and confidence in finding our person.

On the first episode, we're chatting with Christina Bradley, the author of 'Which way to Happiness?', about how to reframe those milestone years not as deadlines, but as invitations to get clear on what you want, not what you think you should have by now. If you’ve ever felt behind, out of sync, or worried that you “should have” been further along in love or life, this episode is your reminder that your story is still unfolding beautifully—and on your timeline. Enjoy!

S21E17: How To Be Detached in Dating Yet Still Open For A Relationship w/ Sabrina Bendory

Tue, 09 Dec 2025

Being detached doesn't mean that you don't care or give up on dating. But it does mean that you know your worth and aren't going to settle for less than treatment because you got attached to someone or the idea of a relationship working out. We're joined with guest Sabrina Bendory for our Season 21 finale to discuss the power of detachment – through her own story and those of her clients – and how this subtle shift can help you reclaim your agency when dating. We discuss navigating ambiguity in dating in a way that frees you from anxiety, how to take control of what's in your control when dating (and detach from the rest), and ways you can practice micro-surrendering without surrendering your need for a healthy, fulfilling relationship.

#brunchtalk: Why Being Single DOESN'T Suck During The Holidays (And the Best Ways To Meet People This Time of Year)

Sun, 07 Dec 2025

Hot take: The holidays are actually the best time to be single. Between holiday parties, so many events, and everyone feeling merry, there are SO many opportunities to meet new people, reconnect with friends, and just enjoy December. We're discussing some of our favorite ideas for friend group activities, dates (early on or with a partner) and masturdates (i.e dates you can do on your own). We also talk about how to motivate yourself when you're not feeling festive and what to do if you don't have a network/ friends in your area. Enjoy!
