Customer Reviews
Love it, but
Love the podcast, the content, the host, but I really wish she would get rid of the smooches. It gives off creepy vibes and sets my misophonia on fire. Not enough to stop me from listening because I can just skip over that part, but the times that I’m not able to reach my phone fast enough to skip it’s like nails on chalkboard.
Fun and honest dating advice
Thanks for a realistic show about modern dating!
your show has helped me get ready to get back out thereafter my divorce. I appreciate the down to earth discussion and open talk about modern dating. I feel ready to date and prepared for some of the people I’ll meet.
(Could do without the “dating dish” gossip segment)
YAAASS!
Damona gives thoughtful and encouraging advice! Love all the different topics and perspectives she brings up.
