Why Modern Dating Isn't Working for You
from Seeing Other People
Olivia Atwood, Director of Matchmaking at Lox Club, joins the podcast to share how a joke matchmaking project during COVID turned into a career helping people find love—and what happened when she unexpectedly had to start dating again after the end of her own six-year relationship. We talk about dating in your 30s, the reality of dating apps, why so many people stay stuck chasing their "type," how to rebuild your confidence after heartbreak, and the surprising way Olivia met her current boyfriend. Plus, we discuss matchmaking, crushes, meeting people in real life, dating like an athlete, and why the best relationships often come from taking chances on someone unexpected.ALL links here (submit a Q, pitch yourself to the pod, dating coaching & more)Head to LolaBlankets.com and use code SEEINGOTHERPEOPLE to get 40% OFF your order.
