Hey loves, welcome back to The Brave Table! 💫 Today, we’re diving into one of the most requested topics: dating in the modern world. And guess what? You’re in for a treat. I’m sitting down with the OG Dating Coach himself, Evan Marc Katz—the world’s first dating coach and a bestselling author. He’s guided over 13,000 women through his Love U University, helping smart, strong, and successful women find lasting love.

In this rollercoaster episode, Evan and I unpack why the dating apps feel broken, how to make meaningful connections in a swipe-culture, and why your checklist might be sabotaging your love life. He spills the tea on compatibility, courtship, and how to build a "dating practice" that works. Plus, we deep-dive into the five C’s you need for a thriving relationship: Character, Kindness, Consistency, Communication, and Connection. Trust me, this episode is dripping with insight and actionable tips to help you rewrite your love story.

What you'll get out of this episode… 

Spend 30 minutes daily on intentional dating—like a workout for your love life.

Focus on lasting qualities over looks—compatibility beats attraction.

Prioritize Character, Kindness, Consistency, Communication, and Connection in love.

Use dating apps for meaningful introductions—flirt, connect, and screen before meeting.

Never settle for someone who treats you worse than your dating coach would.

That knowledge, along with other life experiences overcoming multiple adversities, which include being orphaned at a young age, surviving an abusive marriage, and extensive loss, contributed to the powerful message of resilience & connection she shares in her work. Neeta is a mother of two young children, wellness junkie & lover of chai.
