In this Unfiltered episode, an anonymous guest shares her experience entering her first relationship at 15 — and how what started as support during a vulnerable time slowly turned into control and isolation.

    From Dating Burnout to Meeting The One at 37

    Ali from Finding Mr. Height is back, and this time she’s sharing the story of how she finally met her boyfriend. After years of dating app burnout and multiple first dates every week, she decided to try something different, showing up to real-life events with zero expectations, and one night she almost skipped ended up changing everything. In this episode, we talk about how she met her boyfriend unexpectedly, navigating early uncertainty when he left for six weeks after only three dates, and how intentional communication helped their relationship grow. We also dive into relationship timelines, moving in together, and why waiting for the right person can be worth it.

    Taking the Pressure Off Dating

    In this episode, I’m joined by Dana Joy, host of Not That Deep, to talk about sober dating, letting go of pressure, and why modern dating doesn’t have to be so complicated. Dana shares how stopping drinking changed the way she approaches dating, why coffee and walk dates feel more intentional, and how shifting to an "it's not that deep" mindset helped her stop overthinking every interaction. We also talk about dating without apps, saying yes to more opportunities, and learning to prioritize connection over perfection.

    Are They a F*****y or Just Not That Into You?

    In this episode, I’m joined by Andie P, creator of Ask a F*****y, to break down mixed signals, emotional unavailability, and the behaviors that leave you confused in modern dating. We talk about the difference between a f*****y and someone who’s just not that into you, translating common “f*****y” texts, why even smart people fall for mixed signals, when to communicate versus walk away, how technology has made modern dating more confusing, and whether situationships can actually turn into relationships — so you can stop guessing and start choosing what you actually want.

    Life Happens: The Dating Mindset Shift You Didn’t Know You Needed

    Life happens, and when it does, how you respond can change everything. In this episode, Dr. Rachel returns to talk about her new book When Life Happens, and why small, intentional shifts, not major life overhauls, are often what create the biggest change. We talk about dating burnout, confidence, body image, reacting vs. responding to stress, and why connections don’t always spark instantly. Dr. Rachel also shares the unexpected story of how she met her husband, and why a “boring” first date can still turn into something meaningful.
