On this episode of Dare To Date Me Podcast, Marla & Max discuss mistletoe, matching pajamas, and maybe meeting the parents?! Or… maybe not! Because nothing says ‘holiday stress’ like trying to remember your new partner’s dog’s name and your uncle’s opinions about eggnog.

Marla & Max will be diving into the festive frenzy of dating during the holidays! Should you bring your new boo home for turkey and awkward family questions? What’s the right gift when you’ve only been dating a few weeks? And how do you keep your heart—and your sanity—intact while juggling new love and holiday chaos? Helping us sleigh this topic—see what I did there?—is the fabulous Maria Lynette, a certified dating coach who knows exactly how to navigate love when the twinkle lights are blinding and emotions are running high.

So grab your cocoa, cozy up under that weighted blanket, and let’s talk holiday heartbeats, family drama, and first-love gift-giving gone wrong.

Swipe Right or Run for Your Life: Hosts: Marla & Max 

Dating apps: the modern jungle where algorithms rule, champagne flows, and chaos reigns. In this episode of Dare to Date Me, Marla and Max dive headfirst into the digital dating abyss to decode the mysterious matchmaking algorithms that claim to know your type better than you do. They ask the real questions—like why the answer always seems to be champagne and sex—and share war stories from the front lines of swipe culture.

From digital dumpster fires to unexpected sparks, this episode is a wild ride through the highs, lows, and WTFs of online dating. Buckle up, because Marla and Max are serving truth, laughs, and just enough scandal to keep you swiping.

Lauren Scott, Founder of Unlocking You Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Dare To Date Me Podcast!

We are your hosts, Marla and Max. Today we have a truly special guest: Lauren Scott, a certified life coach and the founder of Unlocking You.

Lauren is dedicated to helping people rebuild their inner safety, restore self-trust, and quiet the mental noise that keeps so many of us stuck in cycles of self-doubt. For our listeners, Lauren’s journey is remarkable—her mission is deeply personal. After experiencing a decade of intense anxiety and silent struggles, she rebuilt her life on the foundation of self-trust instead of constant performance. Now, she guides others not by “fixing” them but by helping them reconnect with the parts of themselves they may have silenced or feared. Lauren, you help people stop abandoning themselves for external validation and support them in finding the safety and courage to come home to who they truly are.

enver to the conversation, along with a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a Master’s in Human Resources from Michigan State. Lauren’s unique insight into human behavior and personal growth is so needed, especially in the world of modern dating.
