Don't Let Someone Else's Timeline Lower Your Standards

vendredi 21 août 2026 • Durée 45:46

Summer's ending, everyone around you is coupling up, and suddenly "almost right" starts to feel right enough. Here's your reminder to get pickier, not less. This week, Mehak (@whathemehak) is joined by Evelyn Alvarez (@ripeness), a New York–based entrepreneur, doula, community leader, mother, and one of the tías on Project Pulso's matchmaking show, Tía's Choice. As the first-generation daughter of Guatemalan immigrants, Evelyn brings a rare mix of warmth, humor, and hard-won wisdom to conversations about dating, identity, and womanhood. Evelyn and Mehak get into dating for the story rather than the ending, diminishers vs. illuminators (and the red flag of a date who never asks a follow-up question), and what Tía's Choice reveals about what we're really after. Their advice? Have fun, be a little selfish, and get your confidence from your life — not male attention. Follow Evelyn @ripeness on Instagram.

The Blue Checkmark of Dating: Is Love Just Social Proof? with Alexa V.

mardi 18 août 2026 • Durée 51:18

Fresh off a wholesome, "emotionally regulated" Valentine’s Day with her friends, Mehak (@whathemehak) dives into a deep conversation about why romantic love has become a "performance of adulthood" and a "social status symbol" in 2026. Joining the conversation is content creator Alexa V. (@lifewithlex444), who discusses her decision to opt out of intentional dating in 2026. She opens up about her journey since being diagnosed with rumination OCD and shares a truly jaw-dropping dating horror story. Together, they unpack the exhaustion of modern dating and the freedom found in choosing yourself over a societal timeline.

Parental Guilt, Digital Wellness, and Why AI Falls Short with Israa Nasir (November 2025)

vendredi 14 août 2026 • Durée 41:35

In this episode of Love-ly, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Mehak⁠⁠⁠⁠ sits down with psychotherapist and @well.guide founder Israa Nasir to discuss life as a third-culture kid and why she doesn’t feel guilty about not having children, despite parental expectations. Their conversation also turns to the future of digital mental health care, inspired by Israa’s essay, “Outsourcing Emotional Labor to ChatGPT,” and to how we should be using AI in therapy (hint: definitely not your Hinge replies).

Maybe We Just Forgot What to Look For

vendredi 7 août 2026 • Durée 28:52

This week, no guest — just Mehak. After some health concerns forced her to slow down and put her phone down, she spent time reflecting on where she's headed — the woman she wants to become, the partner she wants to be, and the life she's trying to build. Mehak revisits the conversations she's had this year that have reshaped how she thinks about dating: Clayton Echard on nuance and rushing to judgment, Jessica Lanyadoo on remembering who you already are, Tim and Anna on what healthy love actually looks like, and Gracie Canaan on loneliness and the business of intimacy. Along the way, she unpacks the horror film Obsession as a cautionary tale about entitlement, shares notes from David Brooks on the stages of falling in love, and closes with a list of small, thoughtful gestures that would send low-effort men into a coma. Because maybe love isn't built on grand gestures — maybe it's built on hundreds of small decisions where two people keep choosing each other.

The Professional Girlfriend: Inside OnlyFans

vendredi 31 juillet 2026 • Durée 44:15

This week, Mehak sits down with Gracie Canaan—comedian, writer, actress, and OnlyFans creator—to go inside the world of digital intimacy from both sides of the screen. We love to judge the women who sell intimacy online, but who's really creating the demand? As one half of the six-part investigative podcast OnlyFantasy (made with journalist Leon Neyfakh), Gracie has spent a lot of time thinking about the harder questions this platform raises. Gracie explains how she branded herself the "professional girlfriend," and why she now chooses late-night OnlyFans conversations over Hinge dates. She sets the record straight on the roughly 90% of OF subscribers who are married, her half-joking mission to "save men," and why the real ick isn't being on the platform — it's being cheap on it. Plus, Mehak and Gracie disagree on whether OnlyFans counts as cheating, and the bigger lesson underneath it all: that inconvenience is the price of community, and rebuilding it starts with strengthening the social muscles we let atrophy. You can find Gracie @savegraciecanaan on Instagram, and catch her live shows and tour dates at graciecanaan.com/subscribe Listen to OnlyFantasy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Audible, or Amazon Music.

Pleasure in the Age of Aesthetic Capitalism with Danielle Bezalel (December 2025)

vendredi 24 juillet 2026 • Durée 42:25

We're bringing back a previous conversation where Mehak sits down with sex educator and pleasure expert Danielle Bezalel—host of Sex Ed with DB. Together, they unpack the motifs that shape our earliest understandings of intimacy: immigrant households where sex was whispered, cultures that mistake silence for safety, and school systems that replace curiosity with misinformation. From Danielle’s Afghan Jewish upbringing to Mehak’s own cultural reflections, this episode explores how identity, religion, shame, and generational expectations influence the way we date, desire, and perceive ourselves. Danielle also shares the turning point that led her into public health and sex education, the emotional stakes of bad sex ed in the U.S., and why pleasure still feels like a radical act—especially for women of color. We end with a Love-ly signature: a modern dating detour into why everything—including romance—feels so aesthetic now, and what it would mean to return to our bodies instead of performing our lives for the camera. This is an episode about unlearning, reclaiming, and finally giving ourselves permission to want what we truly desire.

Two Years on the Pole, Three Years Celibate

vendredi 17 juillet 2026 • Durée 54:01

This week, Mehak sits down with her close friend Yana — Ukrainian artist and former midnight ballerina— to unpack the two and a half years she spent working at one of downtown Toronto's most iconic strip clubs, and everything that chapter taught her about men, money, and herself. Yana sets the record straight on the women behind the stage, recounts the one boundary that was violated once and never again, and explains how she could be the "bitchiest bitch" to men at the club—because why wouldn't she be?? She opens up about how former partners reacted to her past — and why she now treats it as a privilege not everyone earns the right to know. Plus, how she’s dating now, celibacy as discipline, de-centering men, and the lesson she's still learning: you'll always get more love from within than from seeking it in someone else.

It's About Your Patterns, Not Their Astrology with Jessica Lanyadoo

vendredi 10 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:06:06

Jessica Lanyadoo was getting dressed for a solstice party when her spirit guides told her: don't wear pants, wear a skirt. That night she met the man she's now been with for 14 and a half years. In this episode, Mehak sits down with Jessica Lanyadoo, humanistic astrologer, psychic medium, animal communicator, and host of Ghost of a Podcast, to talk about what astrology can (and can't) tell us about love. Jessica explains why she never checks the birth chart of a crush, why sun-sign compatibility is a fancy way of blocking intimacy, and what a full chart actually reveals — from your sleeping patterns to how you fight. She shares the stories she'll never forget: a message from a client's late mother that saved a man's life, and a street dog who begged her to translate for his human. Then Mehak gets a live mini-reading of her own — Saturn square sun, old dating patterns, and the verdict on her new situationship: either he's your husband, or he's your lesson. Follow Jessica @jessicalanyadoo on Instagram, listen to Ghost of a Podcast, and visit lovelanyadoo.com for weekly horoscopes, classes, and her book Astrology for Real Relationships.

How to Make Opposites Last

vendredi 26 juin 2026 • Durée 01:02:06

Anna Gold and Tim Utting's love story began at a Halloween party in 1987: hours of conversation, one missed meeting, and a note that said: you have one more chance. He called. The rest is 39 years of history. In this episode, Mehak sits down with Anna and Tim, IMAGO practitioners and co-founders of Replenish Relationships, to talk about what it really takes to communicate across differences. They break down the Turtle and the Hailstorm dynamic, why opposites attract but struggle to stick, and why the messy, uncomfortable, "ugly" stages of a relationship might actually be where the growth happens. Mehak gets personal about her own situationship, and Anna and Tim offer the reminder we all probably need: you don't have to have it figured out. You just have to stay curious. Follow Anna and Tim @replenishrelationships on Instagram and visit replenishrelationships.com to learn more about their workshops and retreats.

No Promposal, No Problem: Aidan Taylor on Dating Late & Owning It (April 2025)

vendredi 19 juin 2026 • Durée 56:00

Is it ever too late to start dating? In an earlier conversation, Mehak sits down with Aidan Taylor (host of Banterly) to unpack what it really means to be a “late bloomer” in the chaotic world of modern dating. They talk about first dates, ghosting, gay bar drama (yes, including a bathroom incident), dating as a person of color in NYC, and what it's like to feel "behind" when everyone around you is getting engaged. It's funny, heartfelt, and full of the kind of real talk we all need more of. If you're queer, single in your 20s, or just tired of dating timelines, this one's for you.
