109. Dating Wisdom with Jodi Rodgers from Netflix's Love on the Spectrum May 24, 2022

This week’s episode has been in the works since early 2020! In March of that same year, Chris and I started watching Love on the Spectrum, a Netflix series that follows young adults on the autism spectrum, who explore the unpredictable world of dating and its unique challenges. I quickly recognized how beautifully crafted the series was and how much we can learn from it. So, I invited Jodi Rodgers, the show’s sexologist and therapist, to share all of her dating wisdom with us!

Jodi Rodgers is a qualified sexologist, counselor, and special education teacher. She has worked within the education and community sectors in Australia and all over the world. She has extensive experience working with neurodiverse people of all ages.

She created her private practice, Birds and Bees, after 25 years of working in education, disability, and sexuality fields. Birds and Bees specializes in delivering counseling services and workshops for people with a disability, with a focus on sexuality, sexual health, and relationships, as well as training for parents, carers, and professionals to raise the community's capacity in this sometimes tricky area.

Communication in the dating world today is complex
Knowing how to exit a date is just as important as knowing how to enter a date
Why it is important to find ways to communicate our differences
What neurotypical people should know about dating
The most integral part of being human is our ability to connect with other people
We ALL struggle with dating and everybody needs support

105. Moving from competition to party mindset in your dating life Apr 19, 2022

This week I am talking about the concept of competition in your dating life. I’ll be sharing how to move from a competitive mindset to a party mindset. Of course, it's hard NOT to think of dating as a competition..., especially when being in a relationship represents "moving forward" into a new stage in life. However, I am here to remind you that's a patriarchal narrative that no longer serves you.

In this episode, I explore how competition shows up, what it is a reflection of and how you begin to practice self-trust and confidence in order to change your dating mindset for good.

Dating is not a race to the finish line. It's a party where your only job is to own what you desire, own what you need, get your needs met, and allow the magic of co-creation to do the rest.

Hot-Takes from This Episode:

Being stuck in a cycle of perceived competition and comparison
Patriarchal narratives do not serve you or your dating life
Getting into a more expansive and empowering truth
We are here to play, to have fun, serve ourselves and others, and create the world we want to see
How can you create more freedom in your life?
Life and dating are not zero-sum games

99. Why it feels like shit to put yourself first (and what you can do about it) Mar 08, 2022

Why does it feel like shit to put yourself first? This week I am talking all about putting yourself first, why it feels uncomfortable, and what you can do about it.

When we choose ourselves and set boundaries to protect ourselves, it doesn't always feel like sunshine and roses. In fact, it can feel uncertain and downright scary.

Here’s the thing, as women in a patriarchal society, we’ve been socialized to put the needs of others before our own. So it’s going to feel shitty when we choose to respond to our own needs first. And that’s okay.

It’s time to choose YOU, my gorgeous friend. I invite you on this journey.

Hot-takes From This Episode:

Why putting others first feels safe and putting yourself first feels unsafe.
Break up with the attachment of the thought, “Discomfort means I did something wrong.”
Practice self-compassion: Yes, putting yourself first is going to be uncomfortable and it is okay.
I share a simple meditation to help you to learn to put your needs first.

96. How to respond to bad dating advice Feb 15, 2022

Have you ever received bad dating advice from family or friends? And has that advice impacted you in negative ways? Well, this week, I talk about how to deal when you get bad dating advice from people who have no business dishing it out.

Some of the advice could sound something like:

"Maybe you're single because you asked for too much."

“Maybe you're single because you didn't lose weight.”

“Maybe you didn't give them enough of a try.”

“Maybe you are just too old.”

Getting bad advice SUCKS. Yes, and, if you think those thoughts to be true, it’s time to breathe new life into the stories you are believing about your love life. This episode is going to help you do just that.

Hot-takes from this episode:

Acknowledge that bad dating advice SUCKS.
Allow yourself to feel your feelings, including anger, resentment, or fear.
Ask yourself: What does this advice say about the person giving it?
Prioritize your self-care.

93. Why West Elm Caleb is a Call to Action For the Dating World Jan 25, 2022

West Elm Caleb is taking social media by storm. In this episode, I break down who West Elm Caleb is and why his dating style, which included love-bombing and ghosting, was causing an uproar online. More importantly, I explain why this entire scenario is a call to action for the dating world. Alright, if you want to know why I am referring to this as a call to action - here’s a quick hot-take, which I dig deeper in this episode:

Dating is experiencing a public health crisis. Yes, you read that correctly, my beautiful friend. The way in which dating has evolved, with dating apps at the center, is deeply affecting our nervous systems. Dating is exhausting and affects our nervous system to the detriment of our health.

The goal of every dating app is this: to introduce you to someone outside of your social circle and to make money.

Your job is to take care of your nervous system.

Your job is to learn to trust yourself so that you can spot the next West Elm Caleb versus someone who is interested in a deeper connection.

Of course, sometimes shit is going to happen. Both, and - your job is to respond to it with self-compassion. I dive into a lot more in this episode.

One way you may be minimizing yourself during this trying time is by using humor as a defense mechanism. And guess what, my gorgeous friend, you do not need to joke about your singleness. In this episode, I offer my hot take on how to respond to family and friends about your singleness without turning to jokes for deflection.

Having feelings of frustration because you're not where you want to be right now is valid. But what I want to remind you is your thoughts influence the result that you create in your life. So, what if you started practicing a new thought which could bring the transformation you desire?

In this episode, I am sharing thought work I’ve been practicing in my life and helping my clients practice in their dating lives too.

“It doesn’t take time, it takes alignment.”

With this new thought, you move from a place of stagnation to one of action. What action can you take to get into alignment? Think about what you can do today to get into alignment with your values and move towards the life you desire tomorrow.

Trauma deeply affects dating, their love lives and impacts their healing process.

I want to dive into a lesson I am actively learning in my life, which is to do nothing. I’ve been thinking about how my clients and listeners of Date Brazen can apply this lesson to their dating lives too. So yes, this week, I am inviting you to: Do nothing.

Doing nothing is a key part of the intentional effort you are making. Intentional effort leads to intentional results. BUT, intentional action doesn’t always mean BEING ACTIVE or constantly DOING. No, it can also mean laying down, deleting the dating app for a week (Yes!), and most importantly, being intentional about rest.

77. How to declare your boundaries and affirm your worthiness Sep 14, 2021

In this episode, I share a boundary starter pack of sorts and explain why it may be hard for you to declare your boundaries and offer a strategy that will help you get started. When you declare your boundaries, you also affirm your worthiness. And as you know I often say, you are worthy of what you desire.

60. Bless and Release: How to make room for the “Hell, Yes!” people in your life May 11, 2021

This week I am responding to a listener’s email, let’s call this listener Jen. Jen recently wrote in asking how to reply to men who text or call to “check-in”, AFTER they have broken up with her. Here’s an excerpt from her email:

“I don't want to be someone's backburner chick. I want to be a Number 1 gal! So what should I do in this situation--is ghosting appropriate (is it even ghosting)? Or does your "clarity is kindness" mantra mean that I should respond directly letting them know that I don't wish to stay in contact as a romantic partner or friend?”

In this episode, I break down a simple bless and release method that will help Jen (and listeners out there who need to hear it!) live into her, “Yes!” When you can set a boundary, bless and release; you make more room for people in your life who are a “Hell, yes!” to you.

43. Dating as a feminist act Jan 13, 2021

Dating is a hotbed of patriarchal, conventional bullshit.

For example: "Laugh more on a date. Boys like girls who are jovial. Be more of a mystery. Guys like the thrill of the chase. Ask more questions. Get on all the dating apps because it's a number's game."

Translation: Dating successfully means making yourself smaller, talking less, going on more dates, lowering your standards— #bullshit.

In this episode, I shine the light on how dating can be a feminist act and what dating from an intersectional feminist lens can look like. When you permit yourself to want what you want, you extend that permission to others around you. How you date is an expression of who you are as a woman in the world.

I want you to find your life's most extraordinary love with the emotional tools you need to do so. Finding love on your terms is possible; figuring out how to do so on your terms and how you plan to show up is the first step.

While boundaries may not be easy to create or enforce, when you're able to set them clearly and support yourself in developing them, they bring more comfort to your everyday life. I'm so excited for you to listen, and I am so excited to be your dating coach in 2021.

41. Building your 2021 dating strategy Dec 29, 2020

A new year is almost here. For the last episode of 2020, I wanted to set the stage so that you can build your 2021 dating strategy with focus and compassion.

When I say strategy, I don’t mean swiping in a specific way on dating apps or playing a numbers game.

Instead, your dating strategy is knowing what you want, the actions that can lead you to find what you are looking for, and how to protect your heart and cognitive load in the process.

To help you build your dating strategy, I’ve come up with three questions to ask yourself. These questions will help you to reflect on what worked in 2020, what didn’t, and what you should (or shouldn’t) focus on in the year to come.

40. Are you being too picky? Dec 22, 2020

When is pickiness a problem versus when your preferences are perceived as picky by others - that’s the topic of this week’s episode.

"Why haven't I found my person yet? Maybe I am just too picky?"

Sound familiar?

PIckiness can be a problem when the story you tell yourself is that nobody is good enough for you. I share why that type of story is typically rooted in past trauma and past self-protection; and what you can do about it.

I also explore how dating from a place of abundance instead of proving something or someone wrong helps you attract people you align with and are excited to be around.

In other words, when you stop trying to please others and instead turn the focus on your wants and needs, your person will gravitate towards you.

As you listen to this episode, ask yourself these questions: What do I sincerely want? How can I permit myself to be authentic? And, how can I work on remaining open to being surprised?

Chances are, my gorgeous friend, you are not too picky. But that doesn't mean there isn't some work to be done. SHOW NOTES: https://bit.ly/3h6s2qK

36. Building an unapologetic dating life Nov 10, 2020

Today, I want you to practice CLAIMING why you are awesome. What you love about yourself. Why someone is going to feel so lucky to call you their partner.

Pushing down what made me EXACTLY who I was, why I was awesome and complicated and beautifully “too much”, it made me feel like a hollow husk of myself in my dating life.

That all changed when I shifted the focus to exactly why I loved myself, why I was worthy of love, what I was bringing to the table on dates, that’s when dating started to feel like self-care. In this episode, I am going to share how I made the shift and how you can too.

With this shift, dating became an opportunity to explore and live out what I loved about myself.

What if you approached your dating life while clearly knowing exactly why you’re awesome? How would it change the way you approach your dating life?

You are brilliant.

You are amazing.

It’s time to unapologetically build your dating life.

Alright, so you’ve acknowledged that dating isn’t easy. And...you have lost sight of why you are awesome and why someone will be lucky to be your partner. So, now what? Well, gorgeous friend, this episode is going to be your baby step forward towards transformation.

This episode is a reminder to acknowledge the work you have done, and then to give your brain a break from the flight or fight response. When you do, your higher functioning can step back in and imagine a different way to go about dating. You want something more and you are ready to get it.

One of the biggest energy drains is comparison and the patriarchy; especially when it comes to your dating and love life. Last week, I talked about self-compassion. Today I’m going to build on that, and discuss how to create a comparison-free dating life!

4. Live Coaching Session | How to find love without a dating app Mar 03, 2020

I have some big news for you and your dating life: You don’t have to be on a dating app to find love.

Conventional dating wisdom says that you need to play the numbers game, that dating apps exist so you MUST be on them to be “Trying” in your dating life.

I know this isn’t the truth. Dating apps are amazing at 2 things: 1. introducing you to someone outside of your social circle and 2. Getting to know your dating personality. But they are not the answer to your love life.

Today’s episode is a live coaching session with my client, Amelia, where we dive into her dating life, hear about her struggles and come up with three actionable strategies for her to use right now to find love in-person (without a dating app).
