    Episode 32 - Suman Smith - Stop Cockblocking Your Dating Life

    This episode of choc full of good content. Suman Smith, a Jeweler and Author of Stop Cockblocking Your Dating Life, starts with a funny story about the worst engagement ring client she ever had. The first half of the episode we talk about interracial dating and Suman's experiences limiting herself from being with a man she loved. The second part, we really focus on why Suman didn't get married until she was in her 50s. What was she doing to "c**k block" herself. Then, we discuss how she transformed into the person that helped her find true love by becoming vulnerable and sharing her feelings. #PodMatch #interacialdating #donewithdatingapps #cockblock #engagementring #jeweler Suman's Links: https://stan.store/luxjewels https://www.instagram.com/luxjewels_official/

    Episode 31 - Chris Fields - Infidelity, Rebuilding & Divorce Recovery

    Chris breaks down the psychology behind attraction, self-sabotage, and the non-negotiables people slowly abandon when they feel lonely or rushed. He also explains how his background in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and investigative work helps him trace relationship problems back to their root cause - not just the obvious symptom. He explains how to lower the temperature, ask better questions, and get to the actual root of a fight instead of just louder versions of the same complaint. We also discuss infidelity, including the warning signs people miss, why suspicion is often wrong more often than people realize, and how small, neglected issues usually do more damage than one dramatic blowup. Chris walks through his 90-day marriage audit - a structured check-in designed to force honest communication before resentment builds. I was really intrigued by his check-in and decided to review it during the podcast so that you can hear if it may be a good fit for your relationship. #PodMatch Chris's links are here: www.icoachlove.com https://mrcbfields.com/relationship-audit/

    Episode 30 - Virginia McConnell - Former PI - Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

    Virginia McConnell is a dating and relationship pattern coach specializing in narcissistic abuse recovery, who shares practical first date vetting steps, red-flag patterns, and boundary checks that can save you from wasting time, energy, and emotional damage. Virginia breaks down how to spot inconsistencies, trust your body’s signals, and recognize when chemistry is actually clouding your judgment. You’ll discover her perspectives on: Why reverse image searching profile photos should be step one The biggest romance-scam red flags, including overseas and military excuses, no video calls, and story inconsistencies How to exit a bad date quickly and respectfully without overexplaining Why coffee dates can be safer than dinner dates when you’re still screening someone How love bombing, isolation, and pattern recognition reveal more than one-off behaviors in narcissists. Virginia also explains why narcissism exists on a spectrum, why both men and women can show it, and why people recovering from toxic relationships often become hypervigilant. That insight matters, because the biggest mistake is mistaking fear, infatuation, or hope for actual safety. If you’ve ever wondered whether your instincts are picking up real danger or old trauma, this episode gives you a clearer filter. Essential listening if you’re dating, supporting a friend through a toxic relationship, or rebuilding after one and want a smarter, safer way forward.

    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.
