I think this podcast and host has evolved. The advice makes sense and is actionable. I also had issues with a situationship that I eventually went no contact with, and then met my solid current relationship of 2 years. I’ve listened to her advice recently, to understand my past attachment to the situationship, after the fact, and it is solid. Well done, Talia!

As a 49-year-old single parent coming out of a long marriage, stepping into modern dating has honestly felt like landing on another planet. The last time I dated, apps didn’t even exist — and navigating this new world has been equal parts overwhelming, confusing, and unexpectedly hopeful. Talia’s guidance on dating intentionally has been such a grounding force for me. I deeply appreciate the thoughtful, compassionate, and practical way she approaches relationships and connection. Instead of feeding the chaos of modern dating, she brings clarity, self-respect, and intention back into the conversation. This podcast has helped me feel less alone and far more equipped to navigate this completely different universe. I’m incredibly grateful for the wisdom, encouragement, and perspective. Thank you, Talia, for helping so many of us date with more confidence and authenticity.

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!
