Love, Brie

It's a new year! So what does that mean for your love and dating life? Are you ready to GO ALL IN?! If you're considering changing up your dating game this year (and honestly, same) then you'll love today's episode!

I talk with Stacy Perry, a dating coach who on a mission to help women find love without all the unnecessary drama and BS. 

At 40, when Stacy found herself single again, wanting to love and be loved, she went all-in on dating for four years. 475 dates later (!!!) she found the love of her life. 

In this episode we talk about how to confidently show up for yourself in dating and interact in a way that’s authentic to you AND gets you the relationship you want.

what does it mean to be 40 and single? Well, according to me, DAMN GOOD! Because it was. I can’t articulate it (ha! What kind of writer am I!?) because it’s a feeling that I’ve never experienced before… it’s immense gratitude and love and acceptance for me. And that’s something I have learned only comes with time and experience and dare I say it — age. It’s been a privilege to turn 40 as a single woman who’s lived her life outside the box, and I look forward to the next year and decade because I know life only continues to surprise and challenge and ultimately delight me.

I outline why 40 was so good, my lessons learned, and what's IN and OUT for me in 2024.

Tis the time of year to feel low and depressed because you're single while also fending off annoying and sh*tty holiday questions about why you're single and what's wrong with you, etc. NO MORE!

Which is why I invited Dr. Carla Marie Manly, a clinical psychologist and author of Date Smart, to talk about how to handle those conversations like a PRO and how to really dig deep into cultivating your very best life as a single person NOW.

Feeling proud of myself is hard. It's hard as single people to be our own hype person but it's important to do so nonetheless. If you feel like you haven't done anything great this year, I beg to differ. I go through my end-of-year ritual in which I reflect and reframe my year so that I not only feel proud of myself, but understand that I am exactly where I need to be. This episode hopefully will help you feel the same and encourage you to embrace and accept yourself and your 2023!

Let's talk about sex, baby. Do you have trouble communicating your needs in bed? Do you even know what your needs are? Have questions about buying a sex toy for the first time? In today's episode I get into it all things sex, from finding the right lube to prioritizing sensuality, with sexologist Dr. Sarah Melancon, including why knowing and understanding your body and experiencing pleasure by yourself is the first step in having good sex.

As a Sociologist and Certified Sexologist, Dr. Sarah Melancon views sexuality as a holistic experience encompassing mind, body, emotions, and spirit, existing within social, cultural and relational containers. Her work is strongly informed by research on trauma, attachment, the autonomic nervous system, and somatic therapies, particularly through the lens of Polyvagal Theory. She is the lead Researcher and Media/PR Coordinator for Women's Health.

Showing up as your true self is scary AF when it comes to dating. How do you ask for what you want? How do you set boundaries? How do you trust that what you want is what you will find? How do you stop settling for shitty relationships and snap out of your toxic patterns? We get into ALLLL of that in today's episode with our guest Anouare Abdou.

Anouare is a relationship educator, the author of The Vulnerability Workbook, and the founder of the School of Relating. 

After years of unsatisfying relationships, she transformed her love life through multiple therapy forms and self-help tools, interviewing hundreds of relationship experts as a writer, and coaching 1:1 clients, as a result she uncovered a universal challenge that people experience in love: Their relationship with themselves, which keeps them stuck in difficult dynamics and perpetual heartbreak.  

Her process helps others connect back to their self-awareness, develop emotional intelligence, learn to trust themselves, and use their discernment to be vulnerable in constructive ways. As a result, they create intentional communication patterns and become equipped to experience the healthy, deeply fulfilling relationships they deserve – centered around meaningful, authentic connection and emotional availability.
