In this episode I'm joined by the lovely and stunning Dani, host of the The Grown up Hustle podcast. Grown up Hustle is a mixture of honest chats, friendly debates, and real life stories. It lays down the truth about adulting, with all of the different struggles that we face on a daily basis. Taking a slightly different approach, Dani and I decided to put our love lives in the spotlight. 🔦 Tune in for a very raw, vulnerable and personal discussion as we go through our relationship timeline — looking back at our earliest relationships to our most recent. We briefly describe the dynamics of each relationship, dissect the key highlights, and all the tough learning curves that came with it. ♥️🧠💭 We're super pleased with the outcome, and hope you enjoy it too! 💕 thedamselindatingdistress.co.uk

Hey folks, I'm back to bring you Season 2 of "give me the D..." — and boy, the content I have lined up is HOTTT! 🔥🔥🔥🚒  I have to say the podcast title is VERY fitting for this brand new episode in more ways than one! 😉 I'm joined by the beautiful Asa, Founder of Tailor Matched - a leading matchmaking agency in romantic and sexual compatibility and a community for curious singles to explore their wants and needs inside and outside the bedroom. In this session, Asa shares the steps she took to claim back her sexual power, and the importance of prioritising your sexual needs/desires. She explains how Tantric Sex can benefit relationships and lead to a deeper connection. Then finally ending on a message about choosing love over fear. ♥️ Thanks for listening! 💕 thedamselindatingdistress.co.uk

Episode 10!?! Say whatttt? 😲 Nah, I can't believe we've come to the end. But to close off Season 1 I'm joined by none other than Dorinda Barker. She's fun, bubbly, has one of the most infectious laughs, and CEO of NXTConnection. Aiming to help singles avoid the pitfalls in the dating minefield through one-on-one consultations, various courses, and give a helping hand with dating profiles, Dorinda turns potential dates into actual ones. 👫👬🏼👭🏽👬🏿 I admit we do go off on all sorts of tangents in this sesh but the main crux of discussion revolves around the benefits of leveraging video chat (safety is key people!), why dating apps aren't as bad as they appear, then end with a mini game to see if Dorinda can "give me the D...", and by that I mean "Definitions" 🤣 Thanks for tuning in - enjoy! 💕 thedamselindatingdistress.co.uk

In episode 9 I have the wonderful Sarah Louise Ryan in the hot seat. Founder and CEO of Love Lessons & Love Connections Global. Sarah and her team has helped people find, build and deepen loving relationships since 2011 through dating and relationship coaching, international matchmaking and global consultancy on dating and relationships. 💘 This jam packed session includes Sarah's survival story after being ghosted in a long-term relationship and how writing helped her deal with the trauma. 👩🏻‍💻 We discuss what green flags look like in a relationship 💚, and lastly touch on how matchmaking measures up against dating apps. If you're looking for some deep content on love and loss of love... ❤️💔 I highly recommend adding this one to your playlist! Thanks for tuning in - enjoy! 💕 thedamselindatingdistress.co.uk

In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Ann Dypiangco, a qualified Psychotherapist for Trauma, Depression, and Anxiety. She also represents Resilient Rebound, a community to help and support women rebuild trust with themselves after a past toxic or abusive relationship. 💔 We take a look at the different types of abusive behaviour, the reasons why someone will not actively seek help, the signs to look out for indicating a potentially toxic partner 🚩, and lastly the steps to take when finding the courage to leave a toxic relationship. 🚪 With Ann's background, training, and knowledge, I guarantee you'll take away some key learnings and valuable information. I certainly resonated with a lot with some of this content. Thanks for tuning in - enjoy! 💕thedamselindatingdistress.co.uk

A few exchanges of sympathy 😩, and a good number of sarcastic dating memes later, I finally get Mitchell on the show! Yay! In episode 7 I have a good ol' chin wag with my fellow blogger and dude in dating distress. 🤷🏻 We discuss our dating app woes — from "vicious cycles of nothingness" (otherwise known as dead-end conversations 💀) to profile clichés. 🙄 We then go on expressing our thoughts on platonic friendships and staying friends with an ex. Mitchell even warns me to steer clear of one particular dating app... 😬🙅🏻‍♂️ sounds like a pile of dog poo to me! 💩 Have a listen to find out which one! Thanks for tuning in - enjoy! 💕thedamselindatingdistress.co.uk

In episode 6 I'm joined by a Jane-of-all-trades, Lauren Peacock. She's an accomplished producer, founder of The Divorce Case (an online community for divorced women), and author of "Female. Likes Cheese. Comes with Dog." — a collection of hilarious and witty anecdotes about divorce, dating, and saying "I do". Lauren gives me the low-down on how she battled through her emotional rollercoaster 🎢 when going through her divorce, the steps she took to recover and regain her power, and how that particular experience led her to create The Divorce Case. 💼 On the flip side, we also look at modern day attitudes towards wedlock, and what the key ingredients are to maintain a healthy and successful marriage. All I can say is... what a fabulous chat with a fabulous guest! 💅🏼 Thanks for tuning in - enjoy! 💕 thedamselindatingdistress.co.uk
