Bennifer Unraveled: Love, Fame, and Fallout Aug 21, 2024

We dive deep into the whirlwind romance of Bennifer! From their early 2000s engagement to their recent rekindling and the latest rumors, we break it all down. Recorded just before their divorce was filed and made public, we posed the question: does this breakup mean that any couple who breaks up should stay that way?

We also explore the timeline of their relationship, the media's role in their love life, and the impact of their public personas. Is JLo's career ambition what drove a wedge between them, or is there more to the story?

And of course, we can't discuss celebrity relationships without mentioning the Kardashians, Tom Brady, and other famous love stories. Are celebrities fast-tracking their weddings because they can afford to, and does this impact the longevity of their relationships? Let's get into it!

Decoding the 12 Types of Dating Feb 14, 2024

Happy Valentine's Day! We know which love language we speak, we know the types of red flags to look out for, which dating trends give us the ick and make us want to ghost, but do we know what the types of dating there are? Knowledge about more dating terms might feel like yet another damn thing we need to file away in our bag of tricks, but we think identifying which type of dating you are looking for could be a simple way to find clarity for yourself and a way to identify what the person you are interested in is looking for as well.

We found an article that explains the 12 types of dating, including the positives and negatives of each and why only a few of them are what we consider to be the end game.

2024 Dating Trends Feb 02, 2024

We have all heard of ghosting, breadcrumbing, love bombing, and the “ick.” Believe it or not, those negative terms used to describe people who can’t or wont commit for one reason or another actually became dating trends! Sadly, singles found themselves normalizing this behavior by calling it “dating” and it just became something people accepted and dealt with.

So what are the new dating trends for 2024? We discuss what people are ready to say goodbye to, why closing that door is opening up a whole new positive outlook for singles in the new year, and how Rob faired with his January challenge in the ever changing dating climate!

Why Women Are Superior To Men, with Dr. Ricky Arenson Sep 27, 2023

In a game of $20,000 Pyramid, the clues would be: Because they have babies, because they can multitask, they have a high level of emotional intelligence, because they have a high tolerance for pain, they are the muses of historical art and music and because wars have been fought over them. The answer?

Why women are superior to men! You guessed it! We have definitely all heard versions of this phrase before, and we probably all have our own reasons as to why we can argue the validity of that theory, so today we are excited to have Dr. Ricky Arenson, author of the popular book Women Are Superior To Men, in to discuss why he believes this idea to be true and the 8 reasons that back up this theory, the number one issue that couples fight about and what they can do to stop the arguing, and what the “mysterious box” is that men retreat to and how to get them to come back out.

From Heartbreak to Engagement, with Claire Byrne Sep 20, 2023

Many of us have dreamed of the moment we are proposed to, or the moment we are going to ask someone to marry us. The details of these monumental relationship steps differ from couple to couple, but most often they include an element of surprise, and happen in a standard order.

We are so happy to have resident heartbreak coach for POOSH and newly engaged, Claire Byrne, our favorite relationship expert, back on the pod to discuss her recent engagement, why she and her fiance did a lot of planning before he popped the question, why this worked for them and which other types of couples could benefit form this kind of preparation, how to know if you’re ready before any planning begins, why Claire felt it was important to be transparent about her unique proposal experience, and how she is letting go of the judgment that came after the question!

You want so badly to confront them and tell them to pump the brakes or run the other direction but will they listen?

We go over the Tell Them Upfront Theory, the Let Them Be Theory and the Vampire Theory, what they are, why they will work, and how they can all potentially be applied together.

We are very excited to introduce you to our guest, Dr. Veronica Anderson, intuitive Guide, and Relationship Coach for High Performers, who shares how to transform inner doubts and insecurities into unwavering calm confidence, how to discover your human design and magnetize the life you truly desire, why you should leave behind the “cool girl/guy” persona to break free from societal expectations, and how practicing all of this can ultimately help you gain acceptance and appreciation for being a nonconformist.

So, before we start discussing wedding planning and how to stay connected all the way to the altar, we pick Jen's newly engaged brain to find out how to know if you are ready to accept a proposal, whether she was surprised by the proposal and if someone should act shocked if they saw it coming, why she and her fiance decided to start wedding planning asap, and how to enjoy being an engaged couple while being focused on the future big day!

Looking For Love, with Jillian Turecki May 31, 2023

The stages of dating and of relationships are very exciting, very layered and very complex. We could talk for hours about each stage and the positives and negatives that come with them, essentially what we’ve been doing the last handful of years on this podcast, but if we break down the journey from being single to finding your match, we can identify some key steps that seem to surface the most questions and the most confusion. The question then becomes which are the most important steps within the stages of the dating and relationship path you are on?

Whether you are looking to get in or out of a relationship, we have the perfect person to coach you through. We are honored to have @JillianTurecki, a certified relationship coach & fellow podcaster, in to discuss what to do if you are single and looking for love, how to approach finding love better than you ever have before, and what to do if you are stuck in a relationship that is going nowhere fast!

Changing Your Dating Mindset May 24, 2023

Change your mindset and change your life! Your mindset determines the actions you take and the actions you don’t take. This is why EVERYONE talks about the importance of changing your thoughts. We all know that if you are worrying about an issue, telling yourself to “not worry’ or to “calm down” does NOT help. Let’s also be clear, changing your mindset isn’t a cute way to put a positive spin on a negative situation either. Those bad dates, breakups and relationship issues are real and we're not asking you to cover the trauma with rose colored glasses but we do think changing your mindset can spin things in a positive direction! What if there was a way to train your brain to hand pick the good things that exist in your current reality? Well, there is and we are going to help you get yourself out of negative dating and relationship thought patterns!

There is a filter in your brain called the reticular activating system. This RAS won't change your reality, but it will change YOU and your ability to face adversity and give you courage and resources to face issues that come up time and time again in your love life! We break down what the RAS is, how to use it correctly, what exercises you can use to train your brain everyday to only let the important stuff filter in and how this can change your dating and relationship struggles for good!

Warning Signs You Are Emotionally Investing Too Soon May 17, 2023

Whether you’re on a vacation and looking for love or you’re in your hometown swiping or walking your dog and waiting for a rom com “meet cute,” you’re probably feeling anxious to find “the one” and get the relationship going, right! You might think this sense of urgency sounds like desperation but we think being sure about what you’re looking for and standing solid on your expectations, boundaries and standards can help you fast track your road to love, as long as you don’t ignore the ever so dreaded red flags and fall for someone without really knowing what you’re getting into.

Committing to someone is the ultimate goal and there are ways to become exclusive and drive into a relationship without getting a speeding ticket for premature emotional "investulation." We are going to guide you through some tips we read posted by Erica, @your.relationship.reset, a relationship therapist and dating coach, that will help you identify if early emotionally investment is a pattern for you, how to be intentional about your dating decisions, why healing your abandonment wounds is important and 12 warning signs that you are emotionally investing too soon!

How To Create Intimacy Without Sex May 10, 2023

Sometimes having sex just isn't in the cards. Maybe your work schedule is cray, you have kids and minimal private time, you aren’t feeling sexy because of an emotional issue or maybe you're just in a rut. Whatever the reason is, it happens to all of us. We can read all of the “getting in the mood” tips out there (in fact we JUST did a show based on that very topic) and while these tips are helpful and relevant you might need to take a different route if you're looking for intimacy.

Our past guest Dr. Elizabeth Fedrick is always keeping it real on the gram and has inspired us with another post about this very subject. We list all the ways you can find intimacy outside of sex, why we think these examples are crucial to a healthy relationship and dive into tips based on what we do and don’t do in our own relationships!

The Road to Relationship: How Jen Fast Tracked Her Partnership Apr 19, 2023

If you listen to our pod on the reg-u-lar then you’re likely here because you need relationship advice of some sort. Consider yourself lucky because between the three of us (single, in a relationship and married with kids) we cover all your relationship needs. If we aren’t currently going through a relationship issue or milestone, we most likely already have lived through it AND have interviewed an expert or dissected it on the show.

We recently interviewed Rob, our in-house expert on being single and loving it, but this episode, it’s Jen’s turn in the relationship hotseat! For our loyal listeners, you have all followed along and listened to Jen’s dating dilemmas as she went from a highly annoyed and burned-out-on-swiping single to in a serious relationship, living together and talking about getting engaged in Q3 couple in under a year!

This all sounds quick, we know! Jen is on the fast track to ALL OF THE THINGS and we dive into what was different about this relationship compared to all the other guys that came and went, how you too can navigate through a fast paced relationship without ignoring red flags, and where Jen currently stands on relationships now after being in one for almost a year.

Getting In The Mood Apr 12, 2023

Does one person in your relationship often claim they are just not in the mood? This is a common feeling that can leave the relationship feeling unbalanced and eventually breed frustration, guilt and resentment. Problems like this are very common and they can resurface if you don't find the correct tools to deal with it and make a change!

Well thank god for The ‘Gram and one of our past guests (she also happened to be one of our fave guests too) Dr. Jolene Brighten and her always insightful content. Recently, she posted about sex and what can prevent you from getting in the mood!

We look at our relationship moods past & present, dive into the gas and brake pedal theory is and the imbalance in libido within hetero couples, discuss how to determine your speed, share how to communicate your red and green lights to your partner, and unpack why it’s important to openly communicate about these issues with in your relationship!

Toxic Relationship Behaviors, with Dr. Elizabeth Fedrick Apr 06, 2023

Toxic relationships are the new “boy who cried wolf” Are you really in one or are you just throwing around the popular buzzworthy term? It’s probably one of the most overused terms on social media which is why we need to be able to correctly identify it in order to stop it, fix it or leave it behind!

It’s a very common issue that most people experience although most of those people aren’t even aware that they are guilty of the behaviors themselves. Are there any toxic behaviors that we are guilty of ourselves and want to come clean?

To clear things up, we have Dr. Elizabeth Fedrick in to discuss self awareness around toxic behavior, the definitions of common toxic behavior terms and how to identify them, and tips for how to address and correct the behaviors if you and your partner are guilty of being “toxic.”

We discuss the scandal that is rocking the headlines….SCANDOVAL! Some of us have personal connections to the Vanderpump cast, and Kristen, Peter and Ariana have all been guests on this show! We love Vanderpump Rules mostly because it’s massively entertaining and it’s a guilty pleasure but we have to say, the relationships that have developed and crumbled in front of our eyes has to be the most captivating part.

If you are just as confused and equally as intrigued as we are, then listen to this episode because we dissect the Scandoval drama with a timeline of events, our opinions as to why we think all of this is going down, what the cast and other reality TV personalities are saying, our advice for anyone going through betrayal, and our predictions for the end of season 10.

Relationship Status: Single, with Rob Evors Mar 15, 2023

We are each in different phases of the relationship game, and we all have unique expertise when it comes to approaching love in our own specific lane, if we do say so ourselves. Like anything in life, there are ups and downs, positives and negatives and being single is no different. No one enjoys the anxiety and worry about the potential of never finding anyone and ending up alone, but the upside perspective is that there can be so many fun, carefree and independent moments that come along with being single.

Today we are interviewing our very own Rob Evors who is going to chat with us about his current relationship status, what he enjoys most about being single and what he can’t wait to say goodbye to when he finally couples up, what he thinks about finding love while traveling, what he thinks is the most ideal way to find love, and he shares the most valuable lesson he’s learned about being single.

The 4 Types of Dating Couples Mar 01, 2023

We all know which type we like, or maybe some of us are still trying to figure it out, but do you know which type of dating couple you are? Yeah, it's a thing, and we think it’s up there with knowing which “love language” you speak. This episode we go over the four different types to help you identify the category you fall into in order to know if you need to try dating differently, or if you are on the path to a long lasting relationship. We also determine which we currently fall or previously have fallen into, and why there might need to be a need for a 5th type, because it’s complicated!

The Problem with Dating, with Bruna Nessif Feb 15, 2023

What is the problem with dating? We’re on the heels of Valentine’s Day and this question could not be louder in our minds right now. So, why are so many people single? Some think it’s the dating apps that completely changed the landscape of the dating world. Some blame the pandemic. Or is it that the gender roles have been flipped upside down? What we do know is that we are all on this journey together. It takes a village to date. There are loads of posts and tips that truly are useful when attempting to navigate the dating world and we think that one of the most helpful outlets is sharing your stories and experiences to help others, who in turn will help you when the dating waters get rough. That’s why we are excited to have intuitive reader and author of Let That Shit Go, Bruna Nessif back on our show to discuss her new book, The Problem With Dating, how can we fix it, how her intuitive gifts can help guide us through relationship roadblocks, how you can tap into your intuition so you don’t have to tap out on dating, and live love readings with each of us!

Deal Breakers: How to Know When it’s Time to Go Feb 08, 2023

She likes the Patriots and I am an Eagles fan! She wants to take it slow and I am ready to settle down. He voted for someone I despise. She likes to travel and I have a demanding work schedule. How do we know if these “situations” that arise in our relationships are deal breakers or if it is something we can work out? These questions can show up in long term relationships, or with someone you’ve just started dating. Either way, both situations carry a lot of weight and confusion when it comes to deciphering just what to do! We found a guide to help navigate this tricky and common issue from the always insightful Dr. Elizabeth Fedrick. Listen along as we share our “go to” list that poses you all the right questions in order to help you check in with yourself and determine if issues can be worked through or if they are deal breakers.

MAN*ifesting, with Jaime Bronstein Feb 01, 2023

We've all heard of “the secret” and why it’s important to focus our energy into creating a life filled with the things we want. We hear our friends, co-workers and people we follow on social media talking about meditation, crystals, lists, goals, mindsets and self love that helped them find “the one.” All of these tips can be inspiring, but they can also feel overwhelming if we don’t have any direction for how to use the rose quartz sitting on our bedside table while we remain single and swiping our lives away on Bumble. We need rules, boundaries, and a course of action to help us achieve our goals in the world of romance, love and relationships, right? We are excited to have relationship therapist, coach, and host of “Love Talk Live” on LA Talk Radio, Jaime Bronstein, in today to discuss her new book, MANifesting: A Step-by-Step Guide to Attracting the Love That Is Meant for You!, which will teach you experientially, the intricacies and nuances of manifesting that have been lost in translation– until now! Listen along as Jamie shares the 7 steps to MANifesting love, how to connect with your intuition, dating personas and how to release them, and how to identify the negative narratives that are holding you back from finding love.

Love Without Borders Jan 25, 2023

Most of us have tried conventional things when it comes to finding love. We have all dabbled in getting set up by a friend, going on a blind date, dating apps or even a matchmaking service, but would you give up your home and job to travel to a foreign country to find love? We watched Bravo’s Love Without Borders and it got us thinking about all the aspects that go into finding the one. Can love be manufactured? Is love something that naturally occurs through a physical and chemical attraction out of our control? Or, can love be cultivated and grow with all the right ingredients? We unpack our baggage, and see how far we are willing to go for love.

Dating Trends for 2023 Dec 28, 2022

We all know Rob’s favorite seasonal dating trend “cuffing” is in full swing, but did you know there is a cornucopia of other dating trends that have been circling amongst us that we might not even know exist? “Winter Coating,” basically cuffing season's less serious sister, is where people reach out to exes in order to rekindle and extinguish flame to keep warm during the winter months. There is also “Cash Candid” dating, which emerged due to the cost of living crisis and has made it more normal to be transparent about finances and money worries in the first stages of dating. And there is even “green dating” for the people who only want to meet with those who align with their views on environmental issues. Whether you have been cuffed, winter coated, had a first date therapy session about debt, or are still looking for someone to pick up trash on the beach with, get ready to add a few more dating trends to your to do, or to avoid list. We discuss the dating trends Bumble predicts will be popular in 2023, if we think they will stick, and how to navigate the dating path for the new year!

We're getting close to the end of the year and we don’t mean to put on the presh but you guys need to get your lives together! No but seriously, with all the dating and relationship pressures on our plates we know it can feel overwhelming to tackle the whole “self care” aspect too.

Thankfully we are here to give you a little head start before the new year with some topics we found on the ‘gram that will help you ask yourself some important questions before 2023 hits us hard. Listen along as we discuss how some of these questions made us feel, how they affected our relationships and how we feel they could impact yours, why we believe these topics are important, and how to approach them with a potential partner.

Tis the Season to Get Cuffed! Dec 07, 2022

Cuffing season is officially upon us! Temperatures are dropping, and people are suddenly feeling the urge to couple up. But, when the holidays have passed and the weather warms up, will these flings fizzle out as the new year rolls in, or go the distance in 2023?

Despite Rob thinking this phenomenon isn’t real, or that it’s entirely manufactured by women, we dive into how cuffing is different from a vacation or summer fling, and share tips and tricks for how to keep your winter romance from getting messy and winding up on Santa’s Naughty List.

When Your Relationship is on the Rocks Oct 19, 2022

You have a fight with your partner, you’ve been going through a rough patch of bickering, you have a trigger that constantly comes up, you are in a new relationship and the first disagreement arises…what is the first thing you do? Call your best friend and vent, or get advice! That’s what friends are for, right? Most of the time yes, but there are some times when rehashing the details of the fight could end up being a bad thing. So, when is it okay to call your friend to cry them a river about the d*ck head thing your boyfriend said, or when to bitch about Yoko at band practice with the boys? Most of the time it’s cool because we get by with a little help from our friends, BUT we're diving into when it's NOT a good time to call up your friends and call someone out, why retelling a recurring argument might push away your pals, how to ask for advice and what to do with it and some things you should NEVER repeat.

We've got something you should repeat - our previous episodes - while we take a brief break! We'll be back in November and can't wait to share everything we're up to.

Is This Love? When to Say the Magic Words Oct 05, 2022

Relationship milestones are always evolving, and seemingly never ending. Once you have the “exclusivity talk,” then you need to wait for the right time to move in together. Once that happens, everyone starts asking when you’re going to get engaged, when are you getting married, when are you going to have a baby and when are you going to have another baby…it never ends, right? To make matters more complicated, it’s difficult to figure out when the right time is for YOU to hit these milestones, the first one being the three words we all long to hear! We dive in and discuss how soon is too soon to say “I love you,” what are the signs that it's the right time to say the magic words, why long distance and being a woman may or may not affect matters, and what to do if your words aren’t reciprocated.

Knowing When to End a Relationship Sep 28, 2022

Walking away from a relationship is hard, no matter how you swing it. There is always a reason not to break up, or what might feel like the wrong time, and while we are not suggesting you throw in the towel rashly after one problem occurs, we are saying that the amount of time you've “invested” does not mean that you should tolerate unhappiness.

We’re doing the math and diving into why or why not relationships are investments, how the desire to be in a long term commitment could potentially mask the lack of a deep connection and other issues, when to tap out of couples’ therapy, and why timelines have a huge effect on the success of a relationship.

The Right Communication is Key...but Confusing Sep 21, 2022

You should share that with your partner! Wait, don’t say too much though! How confusing is communication? There are soooo many layers and soooo many scenarios that make knowing what to say and what not to say soooo complex, especially during a fight which we discussed last week. Recently, we came across a few thought provoking Instagram posts that inspired us to dive into a list of things TO discuss before you get married, a list of things NOT to tell your partner, why we think these tips are relevant or not, and what we think the golden rule for healthy communication is.

What NOT to Say During a Fight Sep 07, 2022

Fighting sucks but EVERY couple goes through it. No matter how perfect your pics look on Instagram, we know you and your partner are probably fighting about who’s turn it is to unload the dishwasher…and if you’re not fighting at all, then that's a problem too. So, we are here to help by sharing some tips for what NOT to say when you’re in a fight and what to say instead, why you shouldn't name call and assume (even if they deserve it), how to avoid getting defensive, why you shouldn’t pretend you’re “fine” when you’re not, and when to just stop talking!

Perfecting Pick Up Lines Jul 20, 2022

Pick up lines are tough, right? Even when they aren’t as obvious as “Are your legs tired? Cause you’ve been running through my mind all day,” they can still be off putting because they feel so unnatural, forced, and impersonal. The rub is, no matter what you say, when you approach a stranger that caught your eye, anything that comes out will most likely come off as a pick up line. Well, we dive in and discuss what the right way is to go about picking someone up, and where to do it, so the pick up doesn't let you down!

Textcapades: When to Hit Unsend Jun 29, 2022

Have you ever sent a text to someone you’re interested in, and an embarrassing typo changed the entire context? Have you ever sent a message to the person you like, only to read it to a friend and have them say that it didn’t land the way you thought it would? Have you ever sent a “hey, you up?” text to the wrong Mike? Even worse, have you ever had a few too many adult beverages and sent a message (or 7) that literally makes you want to go into witness protection when you read it the next morning? If any of these questions are making you cringe because you’ve been there and done that, then listen up because the new Apple iOS will make it possible to edit or unsend a text message within a 15 minute window once sent and once deleted.

When is it appropriate to ask deep questions when you are dating someone? Some lay it all on the table from the jump so that everyone is clear about expectations.

Life after Love Island, with Kierstan Saulter May 04, 2022

We’ve talked a lot about the different ways to find love on this show. We’ve also talked a lot about what some people are doing right vs. what some people are doing wrong. The thing about finding a “partner” for life is that they, too, are their own separate person. They have needs and wants and desires that are their own. As much as we want someone who fits into our lives perfectly, we MUST fit into theirs just as well. This begs the question: is there one specific person out there that is our “match.” Our, “soulmate,” if you will? Or are there many different options, and we just have to navigate and find the best one that fits when the stars align? Instead of soulmate, maybe it’s just the “right mate.”

Kierstan Saulter, former contestant on Love Island USA season 2, nursing student and Texan living in Los Angeles, joins us to dish on her love life after the show, whether soulmates exist, reality dating shows and if they really work, and which celebrity couples she thinks will make it.

Untriggered: A Relationship Masterclass, with Tori Gordon Apr 06, 2022

We all want some sort of structure in our lives. Some NEED structure, like Jen. Others try their hardest to avoid it (here's looking at Rob)… but ultimately we can’t live without it. Whether it’s lining up a bunch of dates, or doing nothing and attempting to go with the flow...we all need something to keep us on track one way or another. But, we wonder, if you do crave structure…are you “coachable?”

Our guest, Tori Gordon, founder of Coachable LLC, believes that coachability is the biggest indicator of long-term success and the most under-valued skill we can acquire. She joins the pod to tell us all about her Relationship Masterclass, help us break codependent patterns, stop attracting emotionally unavailable partners, shed light on the pros and cons of dating in 2022, and ultimately, get untriggered.

Sex Hacks to Be Beyond Satisfied, with Kenneth Play Mar 30, 2022

SEX. We all THINK about it, a LOT, but very rarely do we TALK openly about it without blushing. According to “experience sampling,” the scientific attempt to measure thoughts, the average male has at least 19 thoughts about sex during the day, and the average woman has about 10. It begs the question, with sex being the #1 item being sold on social media and the dating apps right now, we wonder where it falls as far as importance in finding the perfect mate?

Most people think being good at sex comes naturally. Either you have it, or you don’t. Our guest, Kenneth Play, an international sex expert and sex educator, is proof that great lovers are made, not born. Named the world’s greatest sex hacker by GQ, he guides us in being beyond satisfied with endless orgasms, mind-blowing connection, and lasting confidence.

Love from the Inside Out, with Rob Mack Mar 23, 2022

What is ‘self love,” and aren’t we supposed to love ourselves for who we truly are?? In today’s world, loving yourself can be harder than ever. It seems like every man, woman, and occasional child has found some sort of new filter. How are us normal people supposed to compete? And how far do we take the lies to get ahead on social media and dating apps? Today we’re asking where do you draw the line between self love, and self promotion?

Our guest, Robert Mack, a positive psychology expert, celebrity happiness coach, executive coach, and author, is here to teach us lessons and inspiration for loving ourselves, our lives, and each other.

Dating and Ghosting in LA, with Mara Marini Mar 16, 2022

In case you didn’t hear us mention it 1,000x before, we live in la la land, and with that comes a dating pool filled with a variety of characters. As we discussed with casting Director Jess Howard, there are certain archetypes people usually fill, but in LA, you can add “influencer,” “podcaster,” “reality star,” and “actor” to the list. And as we discussed in the last episode with expert dating coach Connell Barrett, sometimes it’s better if you have more “opportunities,” or more “skin in the game,” if you will. We’ve discussed relocating to different cities to try something, and someone(s) new, but would dating in a different zip code really do the trick, or do all cities have their own dating claim to shame?

Our friend, a Self Proclaimed dating expert, Mara Marini, joins us on the pod again, this time to share her experience with dating in LA, and why she’s saying boo-bye to all of the ghosts out there.

Dating Transformation, with Connell Barrett Mar 08, 2022

If you’re into astrology like we are, you’re aware it was recently the Pluto Return, which happens like - every 248 years or something crazy. Well, turns out it sends things into a major transformation, and certain signs feel it more than others. It seems like all things are pointing towards authenticity, and we think finding someone who is authentically themselves is really attractive. Our guest, Connell Barrett, author of the bestselling book “Dating Sucks but You Don’t,” and the founder of DatingTransformation.com, is here to help Rob and all of the other men out there attract their dream partners by being true to who they are, with or without Pluto’s help, and introduce the 5 Flirting Frequencies to help sparks fly and singles connect romantically.

2021 has come to an end and it’s very “on brand” for us to review all of the things that made our past year special, merry and bright - despite the complicated nature of our dating and relationship subject matter! To start, Lauren’s very special early Christmas present arrived with the birth of her baby Hunter! Sending a BIG congrats to Lauren and her beautiful family. She is currently on maternity leave and will be back soon! Another thing that made 2021 so special was the addition of ROB to the It’s Complicated crew! In order to put our best foot forward for 2022, we are going over our favorite lessons from past episodes, how we feel we’ve grown, and what we're bringing with us into the new year!

Blending Families, with Dean Sheremet Dec 21, 2021

We have all been in and out of relationships, some were long, some were short, some were fiery and toxic and some were mellow and steady. No matter how it all turned out, we always hope to learn something about how to do it differently the next time by changing our actions and choices in order to get us closer to finding “the one.” Sometimes it helps to hear that others have gone through relationship ups and downs or unconventional situations and still have the hope, faith and motivation to get back out there, take those hardships and turn them into positive lessons that change our perspective on finding love. Today, we are lucky to have chef and TV personality, Dean Sheremet, in to discuss his complicated relationship history, how his public and private romances changed him, dating as a single parent, and how all of his experiences shaped how he dates and views love now.

Overcoming Insecure Attachment, with Tracy Crossley Dec 14, 2021

Do you have a “type”? Have you ever wondered if you or others are mistaking a type of person you are attracted to for a pattern that might be unhealthy? Do the majority of the people you date have very similar qualities that you can classify as reasons that the relationship didn’t progress or work out? Maybe you are attracted to someone based on past trauma, attachment style or because you’re in a toxic bond. Does any of this sound familiar? Figuring out our behavioral patterns is hard enough but how do we break these cycles so we can grow and enter into a relationship with a healthy foundation? Well, we have behavioral relationship expert and author, Tracey Crossley, whose work centers on dysfunctional dating & relationships in to help! She is here to discuss overcoming insecure attachment styles and how to permanently change the repetition of unhealthy, unhappy and unfulfilled cycles, personally and professionally!

The Power of Love, with with Chris Medina Nov 23, 2021

Have you ever felt a specific kind of “feeling,” like someone is in the room with you when you’re alone or like someone or something helped guide you out of a bad situation? How awesome would it be to have the ability to filter through the sh*tty people you are dating by seeing signs, hearing directions from spirit guides or guardian angels and trusting those feelings in order to act on them?! Well, we're lucky to have psychic-medium Chris Medina back on our pod to help us tap into those natural instincts in order to navigate common relationship issues like settling, and the importance of knowing yourself before committing to someone else. He also gives us a quick reading and gets real on romance!

We Need To Talk! Can We Postpone Cuffing Season? Nov 09, 2021

It’s November. The temps have dropped to a frigid 68 degrees in LA. Things are just slowly inching towards normalcy and we think it’s much more organic to enter cuffing season a.k.a. the cold, wintry time of year when everyone stops hooking up with abandon and settles down with a partner to watch Hallmark movies and be together for the holidays, with a less pressure kind of vibe. Why do people feel the need to partner up, especially when there are some major boundaries set by a pandemic that starts everyone off at a deficit? Don’t worry, we’re talking it out and recapping our past few episodes to discuss how to hook up without heartbreak if you’re not into getting cuffed or how to level up to the 5th dimension if you’re looking to cuff up for the holidays.

Fears and Loving in LA, Love Pod Tour Edition Oct 19, 2021

This episode is a part of Veronica Grant’s Worthy in Love Podcast Tour. Every day for two weeks, the tour featured an episode from a variety of podcasts on how to actually feel worthy in love. Veronica has specially curated this list of podcasts to ensure that you get the most actional, BS-free support to help you feel more worthy in love.

Fear and love might feel like opposites but they actually are more connected when you think. The truth is, when you allow someone to love you, you are also allowing them to hurt you because at some point. LOVE feels scary and causes people to be fearful of losing it. All of these fears on top of the trials and tribulations that go along with dating in LA make it scarier than getting a bad perm, and ultimately can cause you to feel unworthy of it depending on how badly you were hurt. This is why we dove deep into the worthiness wound, how entertainment and content affect our self of self worth, ways to feel more confident on a date, why people need to pony up with a reason when rejecting someone rather than ghosting, and how taking a time out from dating can get you closer to your goal.

How to Heal Yourself and Find Love, with Veronica Grant Aug 19, 2021

Feeling loved looks different for everyone but the common thread is that often it comes from another individual. With all this trendy self love talk, we tell ourselves we don’t need to seek love from others to feel loved and while that is true, it is healthy to seek love from others, as long as it is not all you depend on to feel love in general. So how can we tell if the love we look for is toxic or not? We have love and life coach and host of Love Life connection podcast, Veronica Grant, in to discuss emotional availability and why women should stop pointing the finger at men, how our patterns and lack of self-love affect relationships, and why we do what we do in our love life.

The Real Reason Relationships Fail, with Dr. Abby Medcalf Jul 08, 2021

Failed relationships. We all have them but why? During a breakup or separation we spend soooo much time trying to figure out who is at fault when we need to focus on the real issues that cause the same patterns of failed relationships in the first place, so we can fix it in time for “the one.” Most people think problems with communication is the reason most relationships bite the dust but you’d be surprised to hear what our guest relationship maven, author, psychologist, and TEDx speaker, Dr. Abby Medcalf, has to say about what she thinks are the REAL reason relationships fail is! And trust us, you have never heard this one before but it makes SO. Much. Sense.

When It’s Good To Ghost, with Melanie Hersch Jun 10, 2021

Ghosting, we have all been ghosted and we have all been the ghoster! When someone just disappears it can cause a ton of insecure thoughts and make it scary to jump back into the dating pool and when you are doing the ghosting it ends up making you feel guilty and like you’re going to have bad karma. If all this strife comes from merely NOT texting or calling someone back then why do we all keep doing it? Lucky for us we have licensed marriage and family therapist and dating coach at eHarmony, Melanie Hersch in to discuss, ghosting: why it happens and why it’s good, how can we fail proof our communication in dating, why our limiting beliefs impact our dating success and what we can do to build dating resilience.

Should We Talk About It?, with Gabriela Ulloa Jun 03, 2021

Have you seen red flags but painted them white? Spotting an issue in someone else is hard because you don’t want to write them off after one incident, but you also don't want to stick around too long and get caught in a toxic relationship. The longer you hold on, the harder it is to let go because feelings grow deeper, you become more attached and you are more apt to make excuses, otherwise known as painting red flags white! We are happy to havejournalist and host of “Should We Talk About It,” Gabriela Ulloa in to discuss how to love and forgive yourself by strengthening your mental health, how to avoid burnout and take care of yourself in your career when you are just starting out, and how to create healthy relationships and spot red flags in toxic ones.

How to Get What You Want, with Heather Hansen May 27, 2021

Tell me what you want, what you really, really want! We all know we need to ask for what we want but when it comes to actually doing it we clam up. Are people going to think we are rude? Are we going to make someone feel bad? And when someone tells you what they want, do we actually want to hear it? I mean, when Tom told you he didn’t want to continue dating did you blame him and make up a bunch of reasons in your head about why he was being an ass or did you just respect that he told you what he really, really wanted? All this honesty talk is hard and we need some direction so we brought self-advocacy expert, on-air legal analyst, and award-winning trial attorney Heather Hansen in to discuss her book Advocate to Win: 10 Tools to Ask for What You Want and Get It, and how you can use the tools of a trial attorney to ask for what you want — and get it.

Be a Boundary Boss, with Terri Cole May 13, 2021

Boundaries! You don’t realize how difficult they are to make until you have lost track of what they are. We have all been in relationships where our boundary lines disappeared because we wanted to be the “cool girl.” If you’ve let your significant-o text their ex and acted unaffected, pretended you didn’t want a commitment more than you really did or played it off like you were fine with the fact that the person you are casually dating is still casually dating other people then you are guilty of blurred boundaries. We've all been there but thankfully after you listen to this show you’ll be able to draw a clear line in the sand and say goodbye to the old “cool girl” who is crying inside because we have our guest, Terri Cole, licensed psychotherapist, global leading relationship expert and author, in to discuss how to speak your truth with ease, her tried and true strategy to uncover when the past is negatively impacting the present, how to navigate conflict with the Recognize-Release-Respond strategy and how to create a boundary blueprint so you can become a Boundary Boss!

Make Your Move, with Jon Birger Feb 25, 2021

Dating is sooo different now, are we right? Coming off the heels of the #metoo era and currently slapped in the middle of a global pandemic (that makes seeing and coming in contact with people impossible), meeting “the one” has legit NEVER been more complicated than it is now. We have author and former guest Jon Birger back again to discuss his latest book Make Your Move, why hetero women who make the first move with men have an advantage (especially in the #metoo era), why online dating has proved so disappointing and sometimes dangerous for many women, especially during COVID times and how to make your move offline!

Office Romance, with Janelle Perez Jan 21, 2021

Relationships in the workplace is a widely debated topic. Is it appropriate? Have you ever done it? Is it grounds for firing employees? It’s scary to fall for someone in your professional life and it’s even more scary to think that you could be judged differently for entering into a work romance based on your gender. That’s why we’re excited to have former police officer and author of The Moral Police, Janelle Perez, in to discuss exploring a personal relationship in a professional environment, what you should be aware of before you venture down a path of romance with a coworker and how your gender can affect the way your employer and co-workers view your choice.

Does Size Matter Part II, with Emily Morse Jan 14, 2021

We really wanted 2021 to start with a bang, and not in the current political sense, so we’re bringing back the question: Does size matter? But this time from the female perspective! We are elated to have our very good friend Dr. Emily Morse on to shed some light on this age old debate and see if we can put it to bed! We also discuss why it’s important to talk openly about sex in order to discover greater sexual satisfaction, and how to rev it up for Valentine’s Day!

Does Size Matter?, with Rob Evors Dec 31, 2020

Happy New Year’s Eve! We really want to end 2020 with a bang so we’re asking the question: does size matter?We are hard pressed to think of a more asked question in the dating, relationship and sex world. Why can we not settle on a definitive answer? Is it men or women that keep the debate going? Is it the perception from the opposite sex that keeps the question erect (see what we did there)? Can we come up with an answer by the end of this pod? Well, we are happy to have our very good friend Rob Evors in to bring the candid male perspective (he’s good about keeping it real) to the table for this discussion so we can examine if men are self conscious of their size, what men think women think about penis size, if we all really think size matters, and our dating and relationship resolutions for 2021!

36 Reasons why Jen is Single, with Jen and Lauren Dec 24, 2020

Dating is an emotional thing, are we right? We feel a lot of things while we are on our dating journeys and in and out of relationships, so we think it’s fair to say that it’s okay to feel a range of emotions about dating and being single, sometimes it’s great and sometimes it is not. This is why we are celebrating Jen’s Bday with a list of 36 reasons why Jen is single, one for every year she has graced us all with her presence on this earth, and they won't all be as pretty as she is. So, in honor of a new year a head for Jen and a new year ahead for the rest of you all, let’s take some time to talk about the good and the bad in hopes to keep our village member status in good standing and to help Jen on her journey of love!

Finding Harmony in Love, with Benjamin Hey! aka The Captain Dec 17, 2020

The holidays are in full swing and we are in the spirit of giving, as long as it’s not germs! This time of year is usually filled with so many parties that by the end the year we are tired, broke and a few pounds heavier. The lack of white elephant parties, holiday work gatherings, ugly sweater soirees, shopping trips and family Christmas eve celebrations leaves less opportunities for single people to meet someone if they are looking to cuff, and for those already coupled up to get out and do fun activities to keep the relationship fresh and exciting. Either way, we all want Santa to get the band back together so we can all celebrate together again which is why we are amped to have The Captain, singer-songwriter Ben Hey, in to discuss dating in the big city during quarantine, how love languages affect the harmony of the dating experience, and how to look inward so you can come out!

Men Are From Mars, with Mara Marini Dec 03, 2020

We’ve all heard the saying, men are from Mars, women are from Venus, and we can confidently confirm that the sexes operate from different atmospheres. We’re getting mixed reviews though from our single female friends who are receiving some interesting messages on the dating apps! Extremely forward messages detailing a stranger's sexual fetishes can be quite off putting but the argument could be made that honesty off the bat is actually respected! Either way, we have actress Mara Marini in to debate and discuss the differences between male and female brains, the challenges of dating during quarantine, why inappropriate messages on dating apps are becoming a trend and how to edit your profile to repel the crazies!

The Sin of Wasting Time, with Rachael O’Brien Nov 19, 2020

This year has felt like time is flying at either a snail’s pace or disappears before our eyes. Time is currency, because we truly don’t know how much time we will be fortunate enough to have, so like the old adage, time is money, we don’t want to waste anyone’s and we certainly don’t want anyone to waste ours either. That’s why we are excited to have podcaster and friend Rachel O’Brien clock in to discuss how to gauge when your time is being wasted romantically, how the extra “quality” time from quarantine affects our relationships and how true crime shows help spot the crazies!

No Filter, with Zack Peter Nov 05, 2020

The election dust has yet to settle and it’s the perfect time to break the dating rules by talking about politics. We respect those that don’t kiss and tell so we won’t disclose our dirty voting details, but we will say we are equally excited for change and very uneasy about the potential of unrest. With the hope that we can all eventually just get along, we are distracting ourselves from election stress disorder with author, speaker and host of #NoFilter and #Adulting podcasts Zack Peter who joins the show AGAIN to discuss our love for celebs and reality tv, why we should all consider a self induced dating cleanse, the upcoming cuffing season and why we need Zack's “hack your hangover cocktail guide” after the election.

Listen as we discuss why people need to stop comparing their relationships and relationship status to others, why the insecurities you have might be more average than you think and why being average is actually awesome!

It’s In the Cards, with Whitney Walker Aug 27, 2020

What would you say if your therapist offered you a tarot card reading? (We’d say yes, duh). People who act as life guides, whether they’re your bffs, psychics, yoga instructors, therapists or tarot card readers, can all provide valuable perspectives and advice. We are fortunate enough to have Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and spiritual guide and tarot card reader Whitney Walker in to discuss the personal narrative that often keeps us from engaging openly in dating and relationships, how the ego and the heart conflict, what attachment styles are, and how tarot card readings and therapy complement each other and can help guide you on a path to find your twin flame/soul mate!!

Home is Where the Heart Is, with Michelle Crochet Aug 20, 2020

Dating and real estate are more connected than you think. If communication and trust are key factors in a romantic relationship, think about how important they are in a relationship with a real estate agent too. Falling in love with a person and falling in love with a home are equally as complicated but they can also be very rewarding. We are lucky to have entrepreneur, wife, mom, investor and real estate agent Michelle Crochet in to discuss the key to a successful marriage, why singles should invest in property and themselves, and why couples need to get real when purchasing real estate!

Let’s F*cking Date, with Serena Kerrigan Jul 02, 2020

Sooo in LA they just opened the bars, and closed them again due to COVID cases going up, and on top of that they closed the beaches for the holiday weekend.

The Waiting Game, with Rob Kowalski May 21, 2020

Most of us haven’t had much, or any human contact in a while, so NOT doing sex may be a byproduct of the pandemic. We think isolation has changed the dating game for good, so we’re wondering if there really is something to be said for waiting to do the deed even after the safer at home ban is lifted. This is why we are bursting with excited to have best selling author of Why Waiting Works, founder of City Fam and speaker of The Truth About Sex Tour, Rob Kowalski on the show! We discuss why this reformed bad boy thinks waiting to have sex can bring you more fulfilling relationships (don’t worry, kissing is allowed), the scientific reasons why you feel closer to someone after sex and how this can be dangerous if it isn’t timed right, the differences between what men need versus women, when to tell the person you are interested in that you want to hold off on sex and how to approach the subject, why the “I need to take a test drive” response to having sex right away is an excuse for people who don't want to put in the work and communicate, how to audit your relationships to see if true love is present or not, ways to tell the difference between lust and love (hint it’s not exactly what you think), whether Rob thinks that relationships made during quarantine will last and if there will be a rise in sexual activity after the safe at home ban is lifted, how we can channel the energy we have been using on the wrong people towards finding the best versions of ourselves, why socializing with the right people can help you become the best version of yourself, and how to stay connected during hard times!!

The world is falling apart around us but it’s going to be okay because we have life advisor, animal communicator and soul trainer Dana Dvorak in to discuss why the 3 month and 6 month marks are important during the relationship journey, what an engagement ring really represents to a man, when Dana thinks you need to kick someone to the curb, how icing someone out might be the best way to train them and get them back in your life, why the quarantine is a great time to look at the patterns from your past and how to change your energy, why now is better than ever to cut negative cords with all past relationships and influences and how to do it, what the rule of 30 seconds is and why it is important to listen to that initial instinct, how to identify the difference between intuition and fear, what all of the chakras are and how to access them in order to align with your partner, how Dana initially connected to animals and why she believes we are all connected on the same level, how a couple's biggest problem might be as simple as not hearing each other’s words, what Dana’s spiritual guides told her about the future of our world and why dating during this period of quarantine is as good a time as ever to meet someone as long as you use the isolation to work on loving yourself!

Let's Consult, with Jena Corvi Mar 19, 2020

It’s been so obvious lately that people have lost confidence in dating because of all of the stories we’ve been hearing from our single friends and listeners. To help, we have founder of CNSLT, Jena Corvi, in to discuss why she is single and proud to be, which dating app is her favorite and why dating apps don’t work for specific types of people, how setting boundaries in dating will bring you quality dates, why the challenges of dating in a big city are less about geographic location and more about where someone is at in life, how physical appearance expectations for men and women are different, why saying “yes” to all social situations works well for singles who may not have many single friends, how helping Jena’s clients on the outside has taught her a lot about inner beauty, why she thinks people have a hard time letting go of personal items and how this directly relates to emotional baggage, and how dating in the past differs from modern day romance.

Dating in Hollywood over Christmas, with Lindsay Cockburn Dec 25, 2019

Beauty, dating and lifestyle blogger Lindsay Cockburn joins us to celebrate Christmas and discuss how dating in LA is basically the opposite of what it looks like in the movies, the definition of “very single,” the other things that go into dating other than the date itself, when to let go of the pressures we put on ourselves, why sometimes it’s more fun to be independent and in a honeymoon phase with yourself than in a relationship with someone else, how people in relationships might also have fomo, why having a full heart in any capacity can be enough, how to spot a “future faker” and why Santa probably brings them coal, how not to blame yourself when someone doesn’t follow through, when to trust your spidey sense and speak up and how much blame to take, why making a list and checking it twice helps with manifesting, and why taking a break and focusing on bettering your personal life is a fantastic gift to give yourself around the holidays, while we cheers with our nightcap, Christmas Champs!
