But before you invest fully, being intentional and asking the right questions can help determine whether a relati...

If you’ve been on social media recently, you’ve probably heard about dating methodologies like the Burned Haystack Method, Female Dating Strategy, and The Dating Funnel. Rooted in relationship psychology, social dynamics, and self-help approaches, dating methodologies promise to simplify the process...

When love came for me, it knocked in French. My husband is French, and before meeting him, the only French words I knew were things to eat - croissant, café, and beignet. The idea of carrying on a real conversation in French felt impossible, just as dating can feel when you’re struggling to connect ...

I recently read an interesting blog post where the author described mutually beneficial introductions (MBIs) —considering if people you know would benefit from meeting each other and introducing them.  The author has been introducing people for over 10 years and has found that although the approach ...

Each new year for the five long years that I was single, I resolved to find my Mr.Right. For five years, I failed.

Why? Because I needed to learn to be a better dater first. I had to improve my intuition, develop the ability to have difficult conversations, and get clearer on what I was looking for...

Today wanted to share my review of my new favorite dating book Tinder Translator: An A–Z of Modern Misogyny. You can also read my review on Amazon, but they made me remove my favorite quotes at the end of the review because of “bad language.” :-/

If you’ve been dating for a while and haven’t seen the results you had hoped for, it may be time to consider getting help. A therapist or dating coach can be very effective at helping you overcome dating issues like:

• Understanding why you date the same kind of person over and over.

“Follow effective action with quiet reflection. From the quiet reflection will come even more effective action.” - Peter Drucker.

I love this quote because it encourages us to learn from our experiences. It takes away the pressure of being perfect when we start out. Through quiet reflection, we...

One of the most common questions that I get asked about dating coaching is:  Does it work?

Does coaching work?
