  • Love vs intimacy with Andrea and Josh

    How long does it take to fall in love? What topics should still be off limits on a second date? Does chasing validation make you emotionally unavailable for true love? These are just a few of the questions we deep dive while unpacking Modern Love episode, "At the Hospital, an Interlude of Clarity." Josh and Andrea are two of my closest friends, with whom I'm always discussing dating culture and relationship dynamics, so naturally we had a lot to say on this one.

  • Love vs compatibility- Indian Matchmaking with Aashay

    If you haven't been living under a quarantine rock, you likely got hooked on the Netflix sensation, Indian Matchmaking. In this episode, my dear friend Aashay walks me through how reflective the show is of dating culture in urban India. Aashay is a product management professional based in Bangalore, India. He loves to learn about cultures, people, and food. He has been a part of the match making process for ~2 years now and was happy to share his views on the topic. I guarantee he answers just about every question you may have had while watching the show!

  • Love vs time with Abby Pierce

    Abby Pierce is a Director, Artist, Teacher, Actor, and Writer, whom I discovered by way of her submission to the Midwest Film Festival's Female Filmmaking night. Abby's film, "Go Ahead, Grab Time by the Throat" grabbed my attention with its uniquely moving story line about an "engagement break-up." I couldn't believe she responded to my DM slide after the festival, let alone agreed to be on the podcast to talk about love, time, and the pursuit of a good story. You can find her @plainoldabby on Instagram or connect with her via her website abbyisinhere.com. But, do you yourself a favor, and watch her movie first!
