It’s Time to Fix Your Picker and Stop Falling in Love with the Wrong People with Bela Gandhi, America’s Favorite Dating Expert on Divorce & Beyond #218 The Divorce and Beyond® Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq.

    • Self-Improvement

Fresh off her visits with Good Morning America and The Today Show (among others), America's Favorite Dating Expert, Bela Gandhi, stops in to chat with Susan Guthrie about the very human drama of falling in love with the wrong person and how we can "fix our picker" to find a lasting love.
We have talked about the fact that Peak Dating Season is ongoing in January each year but for many people all that dating leads to making poor choices in partners, sometimes over and over again.  In fact, although we may think that we would select better spouses after going through a divorce, in reality, with each subsequent marriage, the chances of divorce greatly increase. The numbers break down like this:
41% of first marriages end in divorce.
60% of second marriages end in divorce.
73% of third marriages end in divorce.  
So why do we continue to make poor choices in mates and much more importantly, HOW DO WE FIX OUR PICKER?
Bela Gandhi, the Founder of Smart Dating Academy knows and she shares it ALL.  The red flags vs. the green flags and why we ignore them both.  The fact that we are hard-wired for the hormone rush but that oxytocin glow can derail our real desires, and bottom line, how to identify the elevator people in your life so that you can find the right one for your love life!
It's all here and trust us, when you are done listening to this episode, you WILL be psychotically optimistic about your chances of find real and lasting love too!
