| Sleepless in Seattle with Talia Koren: Rom-Com Vom | 17 May 2026 | 00:32:05 | |
This episode originally aired on Sex Ed with DB! In Sleepless in Seattle, a woman hears a stranger’s voice on the radio and decides she has to be with him. A few cross-country flights, some light stalking, and one dramatic Empire State Building finale later. Was it a recipe for true love? Or just another rom-com ignoring boundaries in the name of "destiny?" In this episode, I joined DB to unpack the film’s gender dynamics, its borderline obsessive premise, and why rom-coms always overlook the stable, reliable guy.

| 259. The 5 Stages of Dating & Why Most People Don't Make It to Commitment w/ Amy Chan | 01 May 2026 | 00:50:44 | |
I'm chatting with Amy Chan, relationship expert, retreat founder, and author of the brand-new book Unsingle, about why most people are just a few strategic adjustments away from finding their match. We're discussing everything from the dating funnel (and which stage you're most likely sabotaging) to the spectrum between having no standards and over-icking yourself out of love to why dating is a personality game, but relationships are a character game. Amy also breaks down the difference between preferences and non-negotiables, why narcissists are actually great daters, and how to build intuition so you stop overriding your gut. At the end, we tackle a dating dilemma about taking it slow with a work crush you've known for seven months.

| 173. Tips For Managing Your Mind Drama & Anxiety While Dating w/ Britt Frank | 13 May 2025 | 00:46:12 | |
In this episode, I’m sitting down with Britt Frank to dig into the messy, complicated world of the inner critics, especially how it shows up in dating. We talk about recognizing the nature of our inner dialogue and why it’s so important to validate our feelings instead of brushing them off. Throughout our conversation, we explore how to move from letting our inner critic take the lead to guiding it into a more supportive role. We get into why self-leadership matters, how anxiety plays into our lives, and why being kind to ourselves makes all the difference in relationships. This episode is all about shifting from self-judgment to self-acceptance and building the kind of inner dialogue that helps us thrive. Check out Britt's new book, Align Your Mind! PARTNERS!

| 172. When You're Looking For A Slow Burn, But They're Rushing It | 09 May 2025 | 00:23:11 | |
In this episode of Dating Intentionally, I’m talking about the very real and very common experience of rushing a connection in dating. You’ll hear the signs to look out for, like constant texting, premature intimacy, or talking about the future way too soon. While some of this can feel exciting, I explain why it’s often a red flag, not just enthusiasm. I’ll walk you through how to recognize when things are moving too fast, how to set boundaries without killing the vibe, and why it’s so important to actually get to know someone before you start planning your life together. I wrap things up with some concrete ways to slow it down and find a pace that feels right for you. PARTNERS Get an extended free trial of Dipsea! Get a discount on your Galatea membership!

I went on about 150 dates with over 60 people in a year before I met my now husband, and don't for a second think "hope" is what got me through it and kept me motivated. In this episode, which originally aired in 2024, I'm sharing why hope is useless and what to focus on instead: your beliefs. I didn't hope I'd meet someone; I believed it was inevitable. Listen to this episode if you're ready to work on your beliefs so you don't burn out after the rejection, false starts, and ghosting (that's also inevitable if you're dating). At the end, I get into a new dating dilemma about a dramatic reaction to a last-minute date switch-up.
