Dating Intentionally

I found Talia on YouTube and am now in a deep dive on intentional dating since I’m in a new slow burn relationship. She breaks it all down so well and reminds me that “the norm” these days on the apps doesn’t have to be the way we choose to date. Thanks Talia!!

I like the idea of this podcast and intentional dating, I think this concept will be becoming even bigger with the loneliness epidemic and with a larger single population. I listened to my first podcast from this show today - which was an interview. I also listened to your solo show for comparison. I think honing in on your interviewing skills will greatly improve this podcast. You narrow great talent by anxiously jumping on questions with an air of “being correct” and having your voice heard (is at least how it sounds). Interviewing is a facilitation job, it is not to prove that you are smart or special or that you know what the interviewer is talking about. You missed expanding on lots of interesting points and creating connection with who you were interviewing by the need to move forward to the next question, you kinda missed the fun of interviewing (and potentially failed to actively listen). I kept thinking, breath! It’s not about you, or being interesting or relatable or edgy. It’s about unearthing what the person in front of you is saying, and that’s interesting, edgy, cool, and relatable. You got a cool concept, you seem cool, you seem smart, but slow down and listen and hone in on how you facilitate and I think you could have an amazing show!

As a women re-entering dating after a 25 year marriage, Talia’s podcast has been invaluable for making dating less scary and overwhelming. She does a great job combining her personal insights and information from the guests, in a very conversational way. It feels like listening to a friend. Talia’s non-judgmental perspective is just lovely. I have been binge-listening to so many episodes and each one has new, different, and insightful information — all presented through a lens of healthy attachment. So incredibly grateful for such a great resource!!

Her episode with Tara was so great. Loved hearing all of their perspectives on relationships!
