It's time to say yes! to life! new things! new people! new experiences! that's how we love ourselves more! that's how we love our life more! The times I have said yes instead of second guessing myself or leaning back on old patterns — like snuggling up on Netflix, watching my latest ‘90s comfort show — have led me to far more joyful experiences than not. I’ve met new friends, visited n...

How to love yourself a little more this summer? PLEASURE YOUR DAMN SELF Pleasure is one of those things that I don’t think we experience enough or  allow  ourselves to experience enough. I think when we allow ourselves to experience pleasure in all forms in our lives, we begin to further understand how and why our body responds to pleasure. What makes you feel alive?   What turns you on?   What ma...

this is week #3 in the "love yourself a little more" series. how often do we say before we date someone, “Well, I need to be able to trust them.” Or “They need to be trustworthy.” I get it. We want to remain safe. We want to remain in control. If they are trustworthy, then everything is OK. I will be OK. But this isn’t how it works. This is a “you” thing — not a “them” thing. What I’ve c...

we get so darn excited to make a good impression on a stranger! We wear something nice, put on our favourite cologne/perfume, and show up with a smile and maybe some flowers, or a magazine, all in the hopes of making the other person *feel* something special about ourselves. So my challenge to you this week, my friend, in the spirit of  “loving ourselves a little more this summer”,  is this: I wan...

This is how we start to love ourselves! this is the first week of my summer challenge! on how to love ourselves a little more! we're starting with body image! WHY? Because we’re animals. Someone’s crooked smile or piercing blue eyes will make their way deep into your psyche (and loins) keeping you up at night as you conjure up all sorts of ways to do fun things to their body. This is often the...

Ahh! it's the last episode of the first season! What an honor it's been to be in your earholes! What I've discovered the most during these past nine months is the importance of...loving yourself and loving your life AS IS. I think that's the whole point of this podcast! Yes, we are single but it's more than that...it's about who we are. Not a relationship status or a label,...

being single doesn't mean we're alone. in fact, it shouldn't. ! but lbh: it's hard making new friends, especially as we get older, and especially as everyone we know is getting married. Oof. however, community is sooo important, and the best thing about having amazing friends is that they are essentially the family we create. with some effort and a new mindset, we can successfully...

okkkkk... so these have been some pretty dark/deep times for me....and I've noticed some old patterns and behaviours coming up when life doesn't go my way...and guess what? I didn't like it! I was playing the victim and i decided that shit doesn't work for me anymore. i don't like feeling like shit! and if i want my life to reflect differently, then maybe, MAYBE i need to behav...

recently i had a bad case of food poisoning, which inspired this week's episode. how to take care of yourself when you're sick and single!? because, let's be honest, we allll want to be taken care of when we feel like crap. BUT, when you're single, sometimes all we have is ourselves to rely on. So how do you cope? i live alone, and i've been hit with some doozies over the last...

i LOVED talking with Lorrae Bradbury because she offers a totally unique perspective to myself when it comes to being single. she's someone who loves dating and has struggled with being single, while me? i've been the COMPLETE opposite. so where do i even start with this convo? from talking about healing and self-actualizing as single women to discussing the nuances and boundaries of datin...

OK i lied -- it's another solo episode! but i really wanted to share this one with you! i was recently asked about how to make the most of single girl summer, and that got me thinking...how do you prescribe something so general?! the truth is...you can't! because it's all about honouring you and where you're currently at when it comes to your single-ness! so in this episode i break...

I don't know about you but I hate texting in the beginning stages of dating or getting to know someone. It gives me MAJOR anxiety! i also hate the fact that i'm making texting the end all and be all when it comes to connection and communicating -- like, who cares about perfecting the best text or flirty message?! Who wants to be waiting by the phone just to hear from their latest crush?! N...

LBH: there's a lot of shame around being single, period. But there's extra shame around being divorced. There's that dirty little word called "baggage" and an even dirtier word called "failure" that makes most people shy away from dating and claiming their single life after a marriage ending. In today's episode, we're leaving that stigma behind as our guest,...

This is an age old debate that's been around forever. I have male (straight) friends and I value them dearly. However, I know it's a struggle for some women to accept that men could have female friends and vice versa. Are there always feels involved? What are the red flags to look out for when dating someone whose best friend is a member of the opposite sex? What are the ground rules for h...
