Spot the dating red flags you’re missing. In this episode, I break down 4 real dating dilemmas: mismatched intentions, situationships, messy family dynamics, and exes who want the perks without the commitment.
If you’ve ever ignored your gut or hoped someone would change, this episode will help you see the patterns clearly and choose healthier connections. We’ll talk about early warning signs, emotional availability, boundaries, and why some red flags feel so easy to overlook.

Why does dating feel so hard and can it be fun again?
Dating feels messy right now, but I think it’s because it’s evolving. This week, I talk with love coach and author Francesca Hogi about the skills we need to thrive in modern dating, unlearning outdated norms, and rediscovering the fun side of flirting.

When should you have sex with someone new, and is there such a thing as "too soon?"
In this episode, I’m breaking down the most common questions about timing, boundaries, and emotional pacing when it comes to sex in early dating. You’ll learn how to know when you’re ready, how to avoid confusing chemistry for connection, and what to do if you want to slow things down after moving too fast.
Are you ready for sex? (reflection questions)
Do I know my intentions?
Do I know their intentions?
Do I trust this person emotionally and physically?
Can we talk comfortably about boundaries and protection?
Am I okay with any possible outcome?

In this episode, I sit down with author and relationship coach Jillian Turecki to talk about the hard truths of love, why it really begins with you, and what changes when you stop outsourcing certainty and start meeting your own needs. We get into the “six human needs” as a simple audit for what’s missing, the seductive pull of victim-mode, and how building a secure base in yourself makes dating easier. We unpack the mental stories that tank early connections, set a clean bar for communication, and draw a firm line between charm and character while defining a true slow burn.
