Mostly Dating

Welcome back! This week we're joined by Ali and Roark, co-hosts of dating advice podcast, Finding Mr. Height, and we're chatting about (you guessed it) dating! We talk about everything from situationships, ghosting, communication, defining the relationship, "the one", and the worst dating advice they've ever received. We debate common dating advice such as "if you're confused, he's not interested" and "if he wanted to he would." 

You can find Ali & Roark on Instagram @findingmrheight and listen to their podcast on all platforms.

Welcome back! We are SO excited for today's BONUS episode with Tarot Reader, Dante Sabatino. We simply could not hold onto this one any longer. Dante has been working in the spiritual space for over 35 years, offering psychic readings to long-time clients in NYC. He was featured in NY Mag's Curbed as one of the best psychics in NYC in 2021. He was called out for his "startling accuracy" and ability to predict events years out. Dante offers his readings in person in Chelsea, or over Zoom and has read for people from all walks of life from all over the world. His clients include high-profile executives, designers, wealth advisors, among many other careers and backgrounds. He also has been hired for many parties and events for companies like Bulgari, Sephora, and Simon & Schuster.

In today's episode, we hear all about how Dante started reading cards at a young age, and how he developed his craft over time. He shares real-life examples of things that have come up in readings regarding dating, relationships, career, family, and so-on. If you've ever gotten a tarot reading, or have been interested in learning more about it, this is the episode for you! We have both gotten readings from Dante now and he has been spot on.

You can find Dante on his website tarotbydante.com and you can join his Facebook group to let the client love speak for itself.

**Because we loved our readings so much, we are doing a ~giveaway~ to gift one person a Zoom reading for a full tarot spread with Dante! To enter, leave a review for the podcast and head to our Instagram to confirm your entry.**
