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.

Here we are back with day #5: Talking about how to become naturally more magnetic, knowing that it’s not a matter of if you’ll find your person but rather when. We’re joined by Amy Spencer, author of Meeting Your Half-Orange, who shares how she rewired her thinking through dating optimism to attract her perfect other half. If dating has ever felt draining, confusing, or like you’re trying far too hard for very little in return, this episode is your reminder that optimism isn’t naive—it’s strategic, grounding, and incredibly attractive. Enjoy!
