Dating Laid Bare

Dear Attentive Attender,

In episode 4 I speak to the wonderful lady behind the Instagram account 1YearOfSingle. In this episode we chat about the inspiration and motivation behind setting up the account, which is the account of a witty single mom that shares advice on love and life and why after breakups, she stays more than 1YearOfSingle.

Dear Luscious Listener,

Regular listeners of the show will remember The Damselindatingdistress from Season 7 where she shared some rather eye catching anecdotes, however in this episode we change direction as she talks about her recent experience of attending a virtual online speed dating event. The account and deconstruction of the event is rather detailed and no stone is left unturned!

In episode 10 aka The SEASON FINALE (can I get a woop woop!) I aim to help my listeners out there even more by putting together the best bits of advice from my awesome guests throughout this season on the topic of what their best first date idea is. There are some great suggestions for you to listen to ranging from park dates to burritos dressed in saran rap (totally random right?), as well as some just generally awesome advice. Either way, I hope this helps. Brown Bear x

In episode 9 I chat to Chelsey Sterling who is a dating and relationship coach based out in Denver, Colorado. In this episode Chelsey shares a couple of dating stories of hers and we chat about the important role that balance plays in dating and relationships. She has a lot of experience to draw from and she shares her insight and perspective on the compromises and adjustments one has to make when navigating dating and relationships.

In episode 8 I chat with Coach T Anthony, who's an online dating coach that coaches people from all over the world. In our conversation we chat about some rather amusing dating anecdotes, one of which shows that even the coach needs coaching from time to time! He also shares some details about the exact type of coaching he offers as well as offering tons of great advice for those wanting to take on the online dating world.

In episode 7 I chat with the woman behind the awesome @dudsofdating apps Instagram account. The account illustrates the inappropriate messages that people are sending on online dating apps, and as we discuss how the line between banter and playful teasing, and sexual harassment is being crossed more often than not, and a lot of people are being made to feel incredibly uncomfortable and distraught in the process. During the discussion she provides plenty of context to go with the content. 

In episode 6 I chat with Jessica Barndt owner of Greater Dater, a company where people can outsource their dating life. She helps with a range of things such as tips to improve your dating profile or you can do private coaching with her as well if you want even deeper help. She tells us how she started her business, from the beginning when it was a side hustle on top of her full time job, to now being a successful business that properly kicked off when quarantine hit and her work at an ad agency stopped.

In episode 5 I chat with the lovely Rebekah Manley, author of the soon to be published book titled 'Alexandra and the Awful, Awkward, No Fun, Truly Bad Dates!', which is a picture book parody for adults. After sharing some personal dating stories of hers and some experiences in the dating game she chats about her experiences as a writer from a young age to the present day, as well as what inspired her to write her humorous take on dating stories.
