Ghosting Is the Answer Ep 85
Send us Fan Mail I dated for 41 years before I finally got it right. So believe me when I say I've been ghosted more times than I can count, and it took me way too long to figure out that ghosting just is the answer. Whether it's a rude answer or a fair one doesn't matter. It's still an answer.…

Send us Fan Mail Did you know the most famous feminist in the world didn't get married until she was 66?

What You're Signaling (And Why It's Killing Your Dating Life) Ep 83
Send us Fan Mail Signaling I want to tell you about something men do every single day without realizing it, and it's costing them. You know the type. Angry on threads. Furious that nothing's working. Convinced women want a man who's six feet tall, has a six-pack, and pulls six figures. Blaming...

Girl, Take the Man Goggles Off!, Ep 81
Send us Fan Mail The Man Goggles I want to tell you about a pair of glasses you might be wearing without realizing it. You know the scan. Walking into any room and running the assessment. Checking his left hand before you've checked his face. Deciding whether the hardware store was a good idea...

Whatever idiot told you dating is a numbers game should be fired immediately, Ep 80
Send us Fan Mail This week I get a little aggressive with well-meaning but very wrong people advising you that dating (and love) is just a dating game. That couldn't be more wrong. If you date badly once, you are likely dating badly all the time. You don't mean to! I'm not blaming you. It's the...

The Lies We Tell Ourselves Ep 78

The cost of doing nothing, Ep. 74
Send us Fan Mail =We talk a lot about what a program costs, what a coach costs, what it costs to finally invest in yourself. We almost never add up the other number: the cost of doing nothing at all. In this short, honest episode, I ask the question most women avoid. What does it actually cost…

The Minute You Decide You Want Love, Watch What Shows Up, Ep. 73
Send us Fan Mail The second you truly decide you want lasting love, everything that isn't love comes marching straight at you. The bad dates. The disappointing texts. The clowns.

-
Have you grieved your previous relationships? Ep 72
Send us Fan Mail Here's a truth most people skip right past: a new love can't find its way in until you've properly grieved the last one. Not just the marriages that ended in loss, but the ones that ended in disappointment, betrayal, or worse. In this episode, Diane makes the case for grief you…

Do You Know What You Want and Is It Reasonable? Ep 71

How's your intuition with men, clear or muddled? Ep 70
Send us Fan Mail This episode is about intuition and do you trust yours? Can you tell the difference between intuition and fear? Do you make decisions based on fear and pretend it's your gut speaking? Or do you make a decision based on your intuition and pretend it's fear? On this episode I…

Why can't we discuss hard things like grownups when we're dating? Ep 66
Send us Fan Mail You want something real. Then a conversation turns toward what you actually want, and it gets tense, or you go quiet, or you reach for the tired line. All he wants is a nurse or a purse. All she wants is my money. Here's what those lines are really doing. Every time you say one,...

Why is online dating so bad? You *may* part of the problem - Ep. 63
