8 DAYS OF DATING OPTIMISM: Trust In Your Timing (Day #1) Dec 14, 2025

Show notes

As we approach the new year, we're bringing you a special series: the 8 days of dating optimism, where we air the top episodes that restored our hope and confidence in finding our person.

On the first episode, we're chatting with Christina Bradley, the author of 'Which way to Happiness?', about how to reframe those milestone years not as deadlines, but as invitations to get clear on what you want, not what you think you should have by now. If you’ve ever felt behind, out of sync, or worried that you “should have” been further along in love or life, this episode is your reminder that your story is still unfolding beautifully—and on your timeline. Enjoy!

S21E17: How To Be Detached in Dating Yet Still Open For A Relationship w/ Sabrina Bendory Dec 09, 2025

Show notes

Being detached doesn't mean that you don't care or give up on dating. But it does mean that you know your worth and aren't going to settle for less than treatment because you got attached to someone or the idea of a relationship working out. We're joined with guest Sabrina Bendory for our Season 21 finale to discuss the power of detachment – through her own story and those of her clients – and how this subtle shift can help you reclaim your agency when dating. We discuss navigating ambiguity in dating in a way that frees you from anxiety, how to take control of what's in your control when dating (and detach from the rest), and ways you can practice micro-surrendering without surrendering your need for a healthy, fulfilling relationship.

#brunchtalk: Why Being Single DOESN'T Suck During The Holidays (And the Best Ways To Meet People This Time of Year) Dec 07, 2025

Show notes

Hot take: The holidays are actually the best time to be single. Between holiday parties, so many events, and everyone feeling merry, there are SO many opportunities to meet new people, reconnect with friends, and just enjoy December. We're discussing some of our favorite ideas for friend group activities, dates (early on or with a partner) and masturdates (i.e dates you can do on your own). We also talk about how to motivate yourself when you're not feeling festive and what to do if you don't have a network/ friends in your area. Enjoy!

S21E16: Inside A Man's Journey To Becoming Emotionally Available & Ready For A Relationship Dec 02, 2025

Show notes

We're giving you an authentic, raw and rare male perspective on Dateable—that of a single British man in his 40s, who’s done the inner work to finally become emotionally available and ready for a committed relationship… after a long chapter of global thrill-seeking, temptation, hedonism and personal escape. Join us as we talk to Phil about his journey – how he realized he was hiding from intimacy and how he started to carve a path out. We discuss the balance needed in your lifestyle to be ready for a relationship, the ways his social life has changed and where he's meeting people now, and what he's done to confront some of the behaviors he knows are getting in his way (and continues to do as it's still an evolving process!)

If this resonates, feel free to reach out to Phil @philwilkinson811 (per his request!)

#brunchtalk: Is This Weird To Do In Dating? Nov 30, 2025

Show notes

Have you ever questioned if something you were doing or saying would be perceived as odd when dating? We're breaking down two instances that have come up recently – and if the reactions warranted the efforts. We're discussing how things can be perceived especially when talking on dating apps, what to do to navigate a situation that feels a little off despite good intentions, and why some actions aren't always perceived the way you'd think they would be when dating.

#brunchtalk: How Much Advice Is Too Much Advice? Nov 23, 2025

Show notes

Ever ask your partner for support and end up getting a TED Talk you never requested? We’re exploring how unsolicited advice shows up in partnerships, why it can feel so invalidating, and how well-meaning intentions can still land the wrong way. We're discussing the difference of wanting to help and overstepping, how to to not overstep boundaries (especially in a world with ChatGPT where everyone can be the expert on anything!), and why sometimes, just being there is the best support.

Quickie w/ Julie: What I Learned From Getting Married After 40 Nov 20, 2025

Show notes

Is love coming later than you expected? We're back with a quickie where Julie talks about what she learned about getting married a bit "later" in life and how letting go of timelines helped find the type of relationship that actually works. This isn't to say you have to wait until 40 to find your person, but there are benefits if you can find them! Hoping this serves as a reminder to trust in your timing and eventually it'll all make sense.

S21E14: Designing The Love Life That's Meant For You w/ Ellecia Paine Nov 18, 2025

Show notes

What if the secret to a healthy, lasting relationship isn’t finding “the right person”… but designing the relationship that’s actually right for you? We’re here with Ellecia Paine who experienced first-hand what it's like to be in a relationship that looks good on the outside but feels empty on the inside, – and how she used this experience to completely redefine what she was looking for in a partnership. We discuss how to break out of the inherited “shoulds” when searching for love, why it's not "too much" to ask for more when it comes to your relationship, and how to create a structure that’s built for who you are, whether you’ve found your person or not.

TW: We talk about an abusive relationship at the start of the interview.

#brunchtalk: Can You Future-Proof Your Relationships When Dating? Nov 16, 2025

Show notes

In a world where everything feels uncertain, is it actually possible to future-proof your relationship?In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the biggest dating trends of 2025: the rise of future-proofing. With people becoming more intentional about who they commit to, long-term compatibility is suddenly more attractive than fleeting chemistry — and psychologists are backing it. In fact, a recent Forbes article calls future-proofing “the healthiest dating trend of 2025,” but is it realistic? We're unpacking why trying to predict the future with a partner isn’t foolproof. In this episode, we break down what future-proofing really means, why it’s trending, where it goes wrong, and how conscious dating (not perfection-hunting) is still the most powerful way to build a fulfilling relationship.
