why dating outside your type might be exactly what you need 04.06.2025

In this quick solo episode, I dive into what happens when you start dating outside your “type”—and no, I’m not just talking about looks. I’m talking energy, patterns, and the familiar dynamics we subconsciously gravitate toward. I share my own experiences with breaking the cycle, what I’ve learned about attraction, and why expanding your dating lens might be the key to finding something more align...

how to fall in love with your life (and yourself) with Laura Sylvester 28.05.2025

From my Seriously Single podcast archives: Okay guys—this one is for all my single girlies (and anyone who needs a reminder that you are the love of your life). I sat down with self-love and empowerment coach Laura Sylvester , and wow—this conversation felt like a warm hug and a cosmic nudge back home to yourself. We talk about what it really means to come back to you : to unlearn the noise, stop...

ghosted, anxious, and looking for answers (I’ve been there) 21.05.2025

Okay, let's talk about ghosting. It sucks. It's confusing, destabilizing, and can leave you spiraling, looking for validation and answers that might never come. In this solo episode, I share my own story of being ghosted — the anxiety it triggered, the constant urge to overanalyze and seek confirmation, and why chasing reassurance in dating can actually sabotage the connection you're h...

why dating with detachment changed everything for me 30.04.2025

In this episode, I get personal about something that’s changed the way I date — and honestly, the way I see myself: dating with detachment . Not in a cold or disinterested way, but in the most self-loving, self-honouring way possible. I share where I used to be — dating from a place of anxiety, overthinking, needing clarity right now — and where I am now: dating with more ease, more softness, and...

living with parents, single in your 40s, and navigating modern dating with Simone Paget 23.04.2025

In this episode of Love, Brie , I sit down with Canadian writer Simone Paget to talk about life in your 40s, being single, and the experience of living with our parents as adults. We recorded this episode last year when the podcast was still called Seriously Single , so while some things have changed for both of us since then, the heart of our conversation remains the same. Simone, who's in her 40...

quit shitting on dating apps and take your power back 17.04.2025

In this straight-talking episode of Love, Brie , I’m calling it out: it’s time to stop shitting on dating apps and stop complaining about them. If you're stuck in a loop of frustration, blaming the apps for every dating woe, or constantly declaring that “dating is the worst” — this is your big sister wake-up call. I dive into why the apps aren’t the real problem, how complaining keeps you stuck, a...

how to actually make friends as an adult 02.04.2025

Making friends as an adult can feel intimidating, but what if it’s not as hard as we think? In this episode, I dive into the art of building real friendships—not just meeting people, but actually forming meaningful connections. Inspired by last week’s episode on meeting people “in the wild,” this conversation is a reminder that social connection isn’t just about dating—friendship matters, too. I b...

yes, you can meet people in the wild—but you have to make it happen 25.03.2025

A lot of people say, “Just get off the apps and meet people in real life.” Cool. But how? Because simply showing up somewhere—joining a hobby group, going to a coffee shop, or sitting at a bar—doesn’t magically mean you’ll meet someone. You actually have to make things happen. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what that means. It’s not about just existing in the right places—it’s about be...

i finally joined a dating app 23.09.2024

I joined a dating app this summer. This is something I didn’t think I would do. I swore up and down to friends and family, to even my dating coach, that I wouldn’t do it. “I like meeting men in the wild,” I said over and over again. “It’s more organic that way. It feels more aligned to me.” (This is still true, but we’ll get to that later.) In this week's episode I talk about my initial though...
