    Episode 29 Violet Lange - Cosmic Matchmaking

    Violet Lange describes the cosmic magic that happens when you stop chasing perfect paper chemistry and start looking at values, nervous system safety, and energetic alignment. She blends engineering, business, astrology, and energy work into a matchmaking process that helps people get unstuck, get honest, and become genuinely magnetic. And her approach goes far beyond sun signs - she uses elements, chakras, typology, and emotional patterns to help people understand why some connections spark and others fizzle. Violet shares how divine union differs from the limiting "twin flame" story, why wanting to feel cherished matters more than checking boxes like income or body type, and how dating burnout often closes people off from the very connection they want. John brings a grounded skeptic's perspective throughout, using his own relationship story as a real-world test case for what happens when you stop forcing dating and let alignment reveal itself. You'll discover: Why chemistry without shared values can keep repeating the same heartbreak How the four elements can reveal what you need in a partner, and what you're missing in yourself Why emotional availability and authenticity matter more than trying to play the dating game perfectly How people get more attractive when they stop making love their only life goal Why the right match often shows up after you change your energy, not just your app strategy Violet also leads a six-week course, Love Alchemy / Love Harmonics, for people who want a practical framework for romantic transformation.

    Episode 28 Allison Brenner - How Other See You

    Allison Brenner breaks down how InnerVue uses a modern 360-style assessment to reveal not only critical blind spots and also hidden strengths, helping you see not just what you think of yourself, but how you land with friends, coworkers, partners, and dates. This can also work for couples! We also discuss emotional intelligence in dating, the power of emotional contagion, and why “what is it like to be on the other side of me?” is one of the most useful questions you can ask before a first date, a meeting, or a difficult conversation. Allison explains how briefly pausing before going into a date to set small shifts in presence, intention, and accountability can transform how others experience you.

    Episode 26 - Motherhood and Intimacy - Caroline Hood

    Caroline Hood and I discuss motherhood and the importance of mothers making themselves a priority. The pressure to be “selfless” can make women feel like they have to give up their identity, their desire, and even their sense of self. But the truth is: you can be a mother and still be a full human being. You can love your kids deeply and still need space, support, intimacy, and joy. That’s not selfish. That’s healthy.
