Brylye CollinsHelping singles thrive in self-love and find love intentionally.I’m Brylye Collins—Certified Relationship Coach and founder of Building with Bry (Thriving Solo + Intentional Connections). I built this work because I kept hearing the same thing from smart, successful people: “I’m not even excited to date anymore.” Not because they don’t want love, but because modern dating has become exhausting, confusing, and often disconnected from real values.My perspective is simple: the quality of your relationships is directly tied to the quality of your relationship with yourself. Before you can connect deeply with someone else, you have to reconnect with you—your needs, your standards, your boundaries, your patterns, and the parts of you that learned to chase, settle, over-give, or tolerate uncertainty. That’s what Thriving Solo is about: helping people rebuild self-trust and emotional readiness so dating stops feeling like a performance and starts feeling like alignment.I work with clients across the U.S. who are ready for a healthier, more intentional approach to love. In coaching, we focus on confidence, clarity, healing old cycles, communication, and boundaries—so clients can stop repeating the same dynamics with different people. And for those who are ready to date with real intention, I offer Intentional Connections, a boutique matchmaking experience designed for people who want a relationship that leads somewhere and are done with the chaos of app culture.Podcast audiences gain practical tools and honest truth-telling. I’m not here to sell fantasy or “perfect partner” narratives. I help listeners understand why they keep choosing the same type of person, how to spot emotional unavailability early, what secure dating actually looks like, and how to build standards without building walls. I also bring a grounded, modern take on matchmaking—what works, what doesn’t, and how to date with strategy while staying true to yourself.If your show serves women or men who are high-functioning but tired of dating, healing after heartbreak, rebuilding confidence, or ready to call in a healthier relationship, I can give your audience both mindset shifts and actionable steps they can use immediately. A conversation with me helps people stop chasing love and start creating it—consciously, confidently, and intentionally.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
