So you met someone at a conference… or maybe things started getting flirty at the office happy hour. Sparks are flying—but now what? Mixing business with pleasure can be exciting, but it’s also complicated. Workplace romance comes with a whole set of boundaries, and if you're not careful, it can impact both your professional reputation and your personal life.
In this episode, we’re breaking down what to consider when dating someone you meet through work—whether it's a direct colleague, a client, or someone from a professional setting like a conference or work trip. Let’s talk about where the line is, when it’s worth crossing, and how to keep your job and your relationship intact.
Let’s talk about something that people don’t always want to talk about: prenups. They’re often seen as a sign that you don’t believe in the relationship, but in reality, a prenup can be one of the smartest and most respectful things two people can do before getting married. It’s not about planning for divorce, it’s about protecting both people, especially in today’s world where dating, assets, and life circumstances are more complicated than ever.
In this episode, we’re diving into what prenups really mean and how to approach the topic in a way that protects your future, your finances, and your peace of mind. Whether you're for them, against them, or somewhere in between—we’re breaking it all down.
In a world that constantly pushes us to hustle, compete, and stay "on," embracing your feminine energy is about coming back to your softness, sensuality, and self-worth. It’s not about being weak or passive—it’s about being in tune with your body, your intuition, your beauty, and your emotional strength.
In this episode, we’re talking about how to tap into your feminine energy—what it looks like, how it feels, and simple ways to bring more of it into your everyday life. If you’ve been in your head too much, operating in go-go-go mode, or just craving more softness, sensuality, and joy—this episode’s for you.
Falling in love and building a relationship is beautiful, but that doesn’t mean you should lose yourself in the process. The strongest relationships are built on two whole, fulfilled individuals coming together, not one person revolving their life around the other.
In this episode, we’re discussing how to keep your independence while still being in a happy, healthy, connected relationship. From maintaining your hobbies and friendships to having your own voice, freedom, and financial independence, here’s how to stay you while growing with someone else.
You’ve been on a few dates, you think you like him, but there’s just something that makes you wonder… Is he really into me, or am I just hoping he is? Maybe he texts inconsistently, takes forever to make plans, or seems interested one day and distant the next. So, how do you know if he’s truly into you—or just keeping you around as an option?
In this episode, we’re breaking down the signs that a guy is genuinely interested vs. the red flags that indicate he’s just not that into you. Plus, we’ll talk about what you can do if you’re stuck in that uncertain phase, so you don’t waste your time on the wrong person.
We’ve all heard the saying “the grass is greener on the other side,” but here’s the truth: the grass is greener where you water it. In life, love, and everything in between, what you put in is what you get out.
In this episode, we’re talking about how to stop comparing your life to others and start focusing on your own garden. Whether it’s your relationship, your personal goals, your sex life, or your self-growth—when you give it energy, love, and attention, it flourishes.
Let’s get real—compromise is part of every healthy relationship, but that doesn’t mean you should settle. There’s a big difference between making space for someone else’s needs and completely giving up your own. So how do you strike the balance?
In this episode, we’re talking about how to compromise without losing who you are. From relationships to career choices to life goals, it’s about knowing what truly matters to you—and what’s flexible. Let’s dive into how to navigate give-and-take while still honoring your standards, values, and self-worth.
The date’s wrapping up. The conversation flowed, there was chemistry, and then… he leans in or asks if he can kiss you. What do you do? Is kissing on the first date too much, or is it the perfect way to see if there’s a spark?
In this episode, we’re talking all about the first date kiss—when to go for it, when to hold off, how to handle it if he asks, and how to trust your instincts without overthinking it.
Nobody is perfect—even the guy you really like is bound to have something that drives you crazy. Maybe he chews gum like a cow, is constantly late, or wears way too much cologne. The question is: Can you live with it, or is it something that needs to be addressed?
In this episode, we’re breaking down how to handle annoying habits in a relationship—when to let things go, when to speak up, and how to bring it up without causing unnecessary tension. Because the little things can add up, but they don’t have to be dealbreakers.
Dating can be exciting, nerve-wracking, and, let’s be honest, a little awkward if the conversation doesn’t flow. So what do you talk about to keep things engaging, fun, and effortless? You want to leave the date feeling like you got to know each other—not like you were interviewing for a job or sitting through a therapy session. In this episode, we’re breaking down the best conversation topics for a date—what to bring up, what to avoid, and how to make sure you both leave wanting more. Whether you’re new to dating or just need a refresher, we’ve got you covered.
