Date/able Podcast

So you're sick of being ghosted, breadcrumbed, roached, or whatever is the term for the latest bad dating behavior? But what happens when you realize you're doing the exact same thing you hate to others? We're chatting with Sonica about how she feels dating culture has caused her to succumb to the lowest common denominator by normalizing bad dating behaviors. We discuss how frustrating it can be to feel like you're trying in a world where everyone else isn't, why dating app culture has changed how we treat one another, and how you can rise up to meet people that match your energy instead of sinking to the bottom.Follow us @dateablepodcast.

We are often gravitated to people who different than us but how different is too different? When can we learn from each other's differences vs. when do they get in the way? On this week's brunch talk we discuss the key to navigating differences in a partnership, the nuances of what differences matter and which don't, and how you can thrive in your relationship even when your partner doesn't think or do exactly like you.Got a question you need answered?

They say the past is in the past....but should it be? Sometimes reflecting back on our past relationships is exactly how we get to where we want to go. We're going deep with comedian Des Bishop about how his relationships with others (and the one with himself) got him to the place to be with now-wife and fellow comedian Hannah Berner. We discuss how our priorities ebb and flow throughout the years, why dating to "do life" with each other is a better approach, and the balance of being ready and luck when meeting the right person.Follow Des @desbishop, check out "The Des Bishop podcast", and learn more about Des at https://www.desbishop.net/Follow us @dateablepodcast.

But when you're on their new partners IG (3 years deep, for that matter) you know this isn't healthy.

We get it...dating can be hard. Especially when you've ended things with the person you thought was 'The One' or went on another bad date. But we're here to spread some hope and optimism as we chat with Meredith about how she's been able to enjoy dating in her 30's and thrive being single after a brutal breakup. We discuss how detrimental breakups can be the catalyst for growth, how to actually enjoy the process of dating (even on the apps), and why personal growth is the most important gift you can give yourself.Trigger Warning: We discuss cheatingFollow Meredith at @meredithtxFollow us @dateablepodcast.

Whether you had to think for awhile or you can recall your last time like that, we're chatting with She Comes First author and sex therapist Ian Kerner about the pleasures of sex and how sex can help us bring us closer to our partners (and in light of everything going on, we all need that reminder more than ever!).
