    Life in Your 30s Without a Plus One

    I’m joined by my friend Emily Griminger to talk about dating in your 30s when your life doesn’t look the way you thought it would. Emily shares how leaving the corporate world to start her own company changed the way she dates, what it’s been like navigating weddings and big milestones without a partner, and why being on a different timeline than her friends has forced her to get more honest about what she actually wants. We get into dating while building a business, why she stopped talking herself into second and third dates, the pressure to “be less picky,” and how loneliness can coexist with being proud of your life.

    What Every Women Needs to Know About Fertility in Her 20s & 30s

    I’m joined by Dr. Courtney Alexander, OB-GYN and women’s health expert, to break down what women actually need to know about fertility, birth control, and reproductive health in their 20s and 30s. We talk about the biggest myths fueling anxiety around age, timelines, and “falling behind,” and why so much of the information online is doing more harm than good. Dr. Alexander explains what fertility really is (and isn’t), why being healthy doesn’t automatically mean getting pregnant will be easy, and how much age truly matters. We get into PCOS, irregular periods, unexplained infertility, and why birth control isn’t the enemy it’s been made out to be, including the benefits no one talks about.

    Did I End It Too Soon? Dating Regrets & One-Sided Convos

    Jake and I kick things off with life updates, including his big winnings at the casino, an influencer event I actually enjoyed, a running injury update, and a Taylor Swift debate. Then we get into listener questions about dating when conversations feel one-sided, wondering if you’re being too picky on early dates, and what to do when you end things with a genuinely nice guy and immediately regret it.

    "How EMDR Therapy Saved My Dating Life"

    Maddy, friend and former SOP intern, joins the pod to talk about surviving a break-in, navigating trauma in your early 20s, and how EMDR therapy helped her finally feel safe again. Maddy opens up about the night a man broke into her bedroom, why healing wasn’t as simple as “moving on,” and how hypervigilance shaped her day-to-day life, dating, and friendships. We get into how how meeting someone who understood her triggers changed everything, including the moment she knew her now-boyfriend Jake was different. We talk trusting your intuition, dating after trauma, learning your needs, and why sometimes the person you’re meant to be with starts as your best friend.  ALL links here (Shopping links, submit a question, sign up for dating coaching & more)  Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance.

    What Your Work Life Says About Your Love Life

    I’m joined by Emily Durham, recruiter, creator, and host of Clock In, to talk about the surprising overlap between careers and dating in your 20s and 30s. Emily shares how leaving corporate shifted the way she dates, why confidence at work affects confidence in relationships, and the patterns she sees in both job searches and love lives. We get into the pressure of wanting to be chosen, the fear of asking for what you want, and why so many people settle in both careers and relationships. Emily also reacts to listener stories, including dating coworkers, holiday-party hookups, and the office crush that went very wrong.
