  • unlocking love & money blocks with energy healer Missy Toy Ozeas

    In this powerful episode of Love, Brie, I’m joined by intuitive energy healer Missy Toy Ozeas to explore how our subconscious blocks around love, dating, and even money are deeply interconnected. This conversation is part of my “Single Series” (originally aired on my previous podcast), and it’s one of the most insightful, eye-opening chats I’ve had around what’s really keeping so many of us stuck when it comes to finding healthy love.

    We talk about:

    • The energetic link between love and money (yep, it’s real!)

    • The most common limiting beliefs single women carry

    • Why affirmations and dating tips aren’t enough

    • How energy healing can reveal the blocks we don’t even know we have

    Plus, Missy does a live energy reading on me, uncovering the deeper wounds that have been influencing my dating life. Spoiler: it’s not always what we think it is. If you've ever felt like you're doing "all the work" but still attracting the wrong people (or no one at all), this episode will speak to you.

  • intimacy without commitment, like a grown-up

    In this episode of Love, Brie, I’m diving into one of the most overlooked parts of modern dating: how to do intimacy without commitment — and do it like a grown-up. Too often, casual connections lack the honesty, respect, and emotional maturity that make them feel good for everyone involved.

    I talk about why it’s so important to take casual relationships seriously, communicate clearly, and be upfront about what you truly want. Being clear doesn’t kill the magic — it actually makes intimacy hotter and more meaningful because both people feel safe, seen, and respected.

    If you want intimacy without commitment, you need to say it, own it, and do it with integrity. Tune in to discover why honesty is the real game-changer, and how to navigate these connections with compassion, self-awareness, and yes — a whole lot of fun. Let’s do casual like adults.

  • you don't want him obsessed with you, trust me

    You don’t want him obsessed with you — you need to be obsessed with you. This week on Love, Brie, I’m diving into the dating trend that’s taken over TikTok and beyond: women saying they only want a man who's “obsessed” with them. And honestly? That energy is not it.

    Here’s the thing — you don’t actually want that. In this episode, I’m breaking down why that obsession talk doesn’t sit right with me, why it’s not actually romantic, and why it points to a deeper issue: you’re looking for someone else to validate you when you really need to be obsessed with your own life first.

    Healthy love is built on interdependence, not intensity. So let’s talk about building a life you love, and attracting someone who has a full, rich one of their own — not someone who makes you their entire world. Because P.S. you actually don't want that either! Or at least...you shouldn't.

  • breakup bodies, self-love & moving for you: a conversation with Bangs

    What does it mean to have a “breakup body”—and can it be more about healing than revenge? In this episode of Love, Brie, I sit down with certified life coach and spin instructor Bangs to talk about the powerful connection between movement, self-love, and being single. We unpack the myth of the breakup body, how to stop fighting your body, and why movement is the ultimate act of self-care.

    Bangs shares her wisdom on how to make fitness feel nourishing, how to come home to yourself through movement, and why being single isn’t something to fix—it’s something to celebrate. If you’ve ever felt like exercise was punishment or struggled with body image post-breakup, this conversation is your gentle, honest permission slip to do it all differently.

  • don't date like a black cat, date like a human

    In this solo episode of Love, Brie, I go on a bit of a rant (surprise!) about the state of modern dating and what I’ve been noticing lately — more detachment, more aloofness, and a lot less actual connection. It feels like everyone is trying to date like a black cat: cool, mysterious, unavailable. But here’s the truth — that vibe might be aesthetic on Instagram, but it’s not sustainable when you actually want something real.

    I talk about how dating culture has shifted toward casual everything — casual sex, casual communication, casual commitment — and how we’re treating relationships like side quests instead of something meaningful. If you’re craving intimacy, authenticity, and actual connection (plus, you know, good sex), this episode is for you. Because it takes work to show up. But it’s worth it.

    We get into:

    • Why being “too chill” is killing connection

    • What we’re afraid of when we try to play it cool

    • How to date like a human (and not a self-protective ghoster)

    • What it actually means to show up for yourself and someone else

    It’s raw, real, and probably a little spicy — but if you’re tired of performative dating and want something honest, you’ll feel seen.

    In this quick solo episode, I dive into what happens when you start dating outside your “type”—and no, I’m not just talking about looks.

    I’m talking energy, patterns, and the familiar dynamics we subconsciously gravitate toward. I share my own experiences with breaking the cycle, what I’ve learned about attraction, and why expanding your dating lens might be the key to finding something more aligned.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck or keep attracting the same kind of connection that never quite works out, this one’s for you. Let’s talk about doing love differently.

  • how to fall in love with your life (and yourself) with Laura Sylvester

    From my Seriously Single podcast archives:

    Okay guys—this one is for all my single girlies (and anyone who needs a reminder that you are the love of your life). I sat down with self-love and empowerment coach Laura Sylvester, and wow—this conversation felt like a warm hug and a cosmic nudge back home to yourself.

    We talk about what it really means to come back to you: to unlearn the noise, stop settling for crumbs, and start creating a life that actually lights you up. Laura shares how embracing your single season can be the most powerful act of self-love—and how to use this time to build a relationship with you that’s so good, no one else can shake it.

    We also talk about:
    ✨ Learning to love yourself without conditions
    ✨ Why rushing into relationships keeps you disconnected
    ✨ How to stop seeking external validation (especially in dating)
    ✨ Making your solo life full, rich, and wildly magnetic

    Laura is a holistic self-love coach, NLP master practitioner, hypnotherapist, and writer—basically a full-body YES to radical self-worth and empowerment. Her mission? To guide women back to their truest essence—and help them live unapologetically on their own terms.

    Whether you’re single, healing, or just craving deeper connection with yourself, this episode is your permission slip to fall madly in love with your own damn life.

  • ghosted, anxious, and looking for answers (I’ve been there)

    Okay, let's talk about ghosting. It sucks. It's confusing, destabilizing, and can leave you spiraling, looking for validation and answers that might never come. In this solo episode, I share my own story of being ghosted — the anxiety it triggered, the constant urge to overanalyze and seek confirmation, and why chasing reassurance in dating can actually sabotage the connection you're hoping to build.

    I'm not a therapist, but I am someone who's been deep in the trenches of modern dating, and I know what it feels like to outsource your sense of safety to someone else. In this episode, I get honest about what it took for me to stop looking outward for that validation, and instead start finding security within myself — because that’s where real love begins.

    If you’ve ever been ghosted, anxious, or stuck in a loop of “why didn’t they choose me?”, this one’s for you.

  • let’s talk about masturbation: solo sex, pleasure, and ditching the shame with Sexologist Jordan D'Nelle

    May is Masturbation Month, and we're going all in. In this episode of Love, Brie, I’m joined by certified sexologist and pleasure advocate Jordan Nelle for a candid, empowering conversation about solo sex, self-pleasure, and why it’s time we stop whispering about masturbation — especially when it comes to women's self-pleasure.

    We talk about:
    ✨ Masturbation techniques and tools that actually enhance pleasure
    ✨ How to explore your body with curiosity instead of shame
    ✨ Why solo sex is an important part of your overall wellness
    ✨ Breaking down the stigma around female pleasure and self-touch
    ✨ Jordan’s best advice for getting started (or going deeper) with self-pleasure

    Whether you’re a seasoned self-lover or just starting to explore what feels good, this episode is your permission slip to prioritize pleasure — no guilt, no shame, just you and your body.

  • the best dating tip ever: stay single as long as possible

    In this episode of Love, Brie, I share what I believe is the best dating tip ever: stay single as long as possible. Yep, you read that right. In a world that constantly pressures us to pair up, I’m making a case for embracing your single era — not just surviving it, but thriving in it.

    We get into why being single isn’t a waiting room for love, how it can actually be your greatest self-growth phase, and how staying solo longer can improve the relationships you eventually do attract. I also share what being intentionally single has taught me about self-worth, standards, and emotional resilience.

    Whether you're dating, heartbroken, or just tired of bad advice, this episode is your reminder that single isn’t a dirty word — it’s a power move.
