#423: 5 Reasons to NOT Date Your Political Opposite (dating someone with different political views / breakup over politics)
Can you date someone whose political views are completely opposite to yours? Maybe you tell yourself that politics shouldn't matter when it comes to love. After all, you don't have to agree on everything to have a successful relationship, right?! In this episode, I'm focusing on why dating your political opposite might be a much bigger deal than you think, and why chemistry and attraction aren't always enough to overcome certain differences.

#422: "Love is Blind"? Are You Actually Falling in Love - or - Falling for the Fantasy? (time for some dating wake-up calls!)
Have you ever met someone and started imagining a future with them before you even really knew who they were? Watching Love Is Blind got me thinking about how easily you can get caught up in the excitement of a connection and how sometimes your desire to find love can influence what you think you're feeling. I have LOTS of reality checks for you to think about when looking for "the one" ... or at least "the one for right now." ;) LISTEN NOW!

#420: Does My Ex Want Reconciliation - or Just Validation?? (when your ex "comes back" after the breakup)
In this episode, I'm talking about how to tell whether your ex genuinely wants another chance - or simply wants to know they could still have you. Because an ex missing you, reaching out, getting jealous, or even talking about getting back together doesn't always mean what you think it does. Before you get swept up in the excitement of a possible reconciliation, make sure you understand what they're actually looking for from you. LISTEN NOW.

#415: Feeling Behind in Life? There Is No Template (comparison is terrible for self-worth & a waste of time)
In this episode, I'm challenging one of the biggest assumptions people make about life success, timing, and what it really means to be "behind." Because what if the pressure you're putting on yourself isn't based on reality at all?

#414: The Relationship Trap Few Admit: Choosing SAFETY Over a FEELING OF CERTAINTY (which ironically isn't "safe" at all)
In this episode, I'm talking about a relationship trap that doesn't get discussed nearly enough: the difference between choosing someone because you genuinely want them - and - choosing someone because they seem less likely to hurt you. And while most people would never say that out loud, their dating choices often tell the REAL story. Plus, does someone's attractiveness make them less or more likely to cheat? Hmmm... LISTEN NOW.
