With everything that's been going on overturning roe v wade, we wanted to do a special episode where we talked to three different women (Janis, Mikala, and Priya) about their own experience with the decision to have an abortion (or not). We discuss how you don't ever know what you'll do until you're in the situation, the importance of choice, and why this decision has many layers and complexities that simply doesn't belong in our government's hands.Follow us @dateablepodcast.

The thought of dating "from scratch" can be daunting but does it really justify staying in a relationship not meeting your needs?

What's the difference between self-care, self-sacrifice, and selfishness, when it comes to dating & relationships? We're chatting with Raeann and Kristina from the Confident Collective about the balance of not compromising your own needs while compromising for others. We discuss the importance of taking care of yourself through all stages from early dating to having children, why it backfires to bend over backwards for someone else, and how to still put your loved ones first without losing yourself.Follow Kristina & Raeann @confidentcollective and listen to their podcast The Confident CollectiveFollow us @dateablepodcast.

These days there's no on right way to have a relationship, so why would having a family be any different? We're chatting with David, Zeke, and Avary about the rise of the 3-parent family and their arrangement as co-parents with Avary & Zeke being a married couple and David being their asexual platonic friend. We discuss why they opted to do things differently as a non-nuclear family (and how far they went to make it all legally binding), the importance of chosen family especially when traditional arrangements aren't on the table or don't feel right to you, and how to be intentional about your relationships at all stages.

We think we're self aware, but are we? And why is this so essential for romantic relationships? We're chatting with Dr. Tasha Eurich about why it's so essential while dating (and having long-term relationships) to hone into our awareness of ourselves,others, and the impact we have on one another. We discuss how we're all a little less self aware than we think, the shift from talking about the why to the what, and how relating to ourselves and others just 1% better can dramatically improve our love lives.Learn more about Dr. Tasha Eurich: https://tashaeurich.com/ and take her self awareness quiz: https://www.insight-book.com/QuizFollow us @dateablepodcast.

Ah the million dollar question: when to define the relationship. How do you make sure you don't do it too early? Or do you risk doing it too late that they could end up with someone else? On this week's brunch talk we're talking about why time isn't a factor into the DTR convo, how to have a series of low pressure chats starting early on, and why the focus should actually NOT be on defining the relationship (but rather something else).Got a question you need answered?

As we grow older and wiser, what we want and need from a relationship can shift dramatically. We're chatting with Rob about his journey from dating people that he knew weren't long-term potential to how he became more intentional with his dating life to meet his now partner. We discuss the changing definitions of what it means to be in a relationship, the importance of certain qualities as we age, and why all the people who didn't work out are here to help you out in the long run.Follow Rob @onthecheaptip on TikTok & YouTubeFollow us @dateablepodcast.

We're chatting with Trace about how he started over after ending a 12-year relationship only to propose after 3 weeks of dating one of his newfound best friends.

Even the best of us can start to believe that inner voice that wonders if we’re too fat, too skinny, too tall, too short, too light, too dark – whatever it is that gets in the way of thinking we’re worthy of love. But have no fear, we’re silencing the self doubt as we chat with Katie Sturino about how she regained her confidence and rocked the dating game even at her lowest point. We discuss how our earliest trauma still plays into the way we think about ourselves when dating, the importance of “doing the work” even though it feels unfair you have to do it at all, and why it's so damn important to get to a place where we’re truly comfortable in our own skin.Trigger Warning: We discuss abortion rights and the recall of Chesa Boudin in the intro if you need to skip aheadFollow Katie @katiesturnio and check out her podcast 'Boob Sweat', book body talk and beauty line MegababeFollow us @dateablepodcast.

Sex can be so enjoyable yet so stressful at the same time....especially when you're dating someone new. We're chatting with Dean about recovering from erectile dysfunction and what that meant for his sex life.

Instead of stressing about our relationship history, we're here to chat with Sydney Lotuaco about how she ended up engaged to her first real partner at 30 despite her past relationship inexperience. We discuss trying everything from being on the apps to being on the Bachelor (spoiler alert: this isn't where she met her fiancé), the struggles that come with being a late bloomer and losing your virginity "later in life", and how you can recognize a good thing when you see it even without having other relationships to compare it to.Follow Sydney @sydneylotuaco and check out her podcast 'Something to Share'Follow us @dateablepodcast.
