We're Never Doing This Again Simone Paget

Why do we do the things we do? On this episode, Simone speaks with Hannah Spero, YOUR Behavior analyst and host of the Spero podcast to break down all things dating, behavior, habits, and more. We talk about what it's like dating as a single mom in your late 30s, dating in "Chictoria" (Victoria) vs "Menver" (Denver), and how in order to change a habit you need to figure out why you do it in the first place. We wrap up the episode with a rousing game of FMK: New Girl edition.

Bring on the cringe! In this episode, Simone is joined by Alyssa O a writer, playwright, and Wacky Aunt Abroad to discuss dating, traveling solo, and living a joy-filled, unconventional life abroad as a single 40-something woman. Simone and Alyssa are green berets in dating...they've seen some things. The pair discuss what it's like dating in Scotland and Switzerland versus dating in North America. They conclude that no, they do not want to party like it's 2019 (or date anyone who does). They also discuss deprioritizing dating, dating ROI, and whether it's possible catfished by a photo of a young Joseph Stalin. Alyssa shares the story of a terrifying date with a man with a Michael Jackson tattoo. Simone tells her own story of a date with a troubling tattoo of his own. The episode wraps up with a rousing game of FMK: Cringe band edition (what would it be like being married to Creed? How about Maroon 5?)

It's like that 50 Cent song but without prison time! This week Simone is joined by Visibility and Marketing Coach, Annika Martins to discuss all things dating and self-employment. Dating while being self-employed is a different kind of beast. Annika and Simone discuss how rejection is just redirection, curiosity is key, and how as women we're programmed to be chosen. Simone shares a story about a man who brought his own lunch to the restaurant and why she hates hardboiled eggs. The episode wraps up with a rousing game of FMK: 90's male R&B Singers edition ( Shoutout to Jon B - the group was called Destiny's Child for a reason!)

Online dating: it's just a contest to see who cares the least! In this episode, Simone is joined by award-winning journalist & bestselling author Nancy Jo Sales (The Bling Ring, American Girls, Nothing Personal) to discuss why dating apps are making us miserable and how dating, shame, and misogyny are all connected. Turns out dating in Vancouver Island and Manhattan isn't all that different. Nancy Jo and Simone also discuss getting older, dating in your 40s and 50s, and how deprioritizing men is bringing them both a sense of peace. Nancy Jo recounts a Tinder date where the man posted an ill-timed selfie and Simone tells the story of dating a man who, quite literally, didn't "see" her. They wrap up the episode with a rousing game of FMK - Archie Comics edition, where they ask the question: would Archie Andrews make a good partner?
