In this episode, I share 5 signs that can reveal if someone is read...

Have you ever felt like you lost "The One" because of bad timing? They moved country, they weren't ready to commit, or they hadn't matured enough yet? It's common to tell ourselves this is a case of "right person, wrong time". But that can make the pain of loss even worse. We despair that we've lost a great love and it's down to pure bad luck. If you're struggling to get over someone like this, ma...

Most people want to avoid players in dating . . . yet why do so many end up in relationships (or situationships) with them? Sadly, it’s all too common to get seduced into a roller coaster romance where we feel amazing chemistry but never know where we stand with someone. Today I’m giving you the best advice I’ve given on this topic through 7 clips that will help you avoid players and find the righ...

It would be nice if we had a crystal ball telling us which romantic flings would work out at the very beginning so we didn’t invest precious time in the wrong people. It can be hard to read someone’s intentions in the early stages. I can’t make you a foolproof lie detector, and I can’t guarantee you’ll never be ghosted again, but I can make you a competent “detector of intentions” so you have the...

So you just realized you actually like someone? Hold up a second . . . When we fall for someone in the early stages of dating, it’s very easy to drop our standards and lose sight of our boundaries. We check our texts constantly. We cancel other plans for them. We agree to live on their schedule.  This situation is especially dangerous for people who have a more anxious attachment style and tend to...

There’s a line from the movie Vanilla Sky that I’ve always loved. It’s when Tom Cruise’s character realizes: “The little things... There’s nothing bigger, is there?” That’s often true in attraction too. So many people are looking for the huge epiphany, instead of the subtle-yet-powerful changes to their behavior that can skyrocket their results. As you’ll hear in this episode, turning someone’s he...

Over the past week, so many of you have expressed how much Angela’s story in my new book, Love Life, touched you deeply (in the chapter titled “Have Hard Conversations”). So this week I thought I’d share the actual interview with her from my Live Retreat. I’ve found that one of the biggest confidence-killers in dating happens when we dwell on the reasons why someone may not be attracted to us. Our...

Labels sometimes take longer to come than the feelings themselves, and our fear of getting hurt can make us all reluctant to be vulnerable and express what we feel. As a result, so many people come to me asking . . . “Are we living in a time when people just don’t want to commit anymore?” “How do you know if someone is ready?” These two questions pop up A LOT, and that got me thinking about my own...

When we like someone, it’s tempting to move fast, let our emotions take over and simply do what feels good. But in this frenzy of excitement we can inadvertently end up on a path we don’t want to be on… In this clip I answer a question from someone who didn’t want to repeat the last 2 years of her life, which she spent in a ‘friends with benefits’ situation.  --- ►► Get Your FREE Ticket to Find Yo...

We may not realise it, but many of us subconsciously hide from real love because it forces us to be honest and show who we really are. And when we get threatened, we either go cold, hide, or lash out with passive aggression. If you've struggled with emotional unavailability or always choosing the wrong people, this might be why... --- ►► Get Your FREE Ticket to Find Your Person LIVE on May 4 PLUS...

I’ve been asked this question several times a week for the last 10+ years. You may feel SO ready to share your life with someone . . . only to have had dates that fizzled out or incompatible relationships . . . or perhaps you’ve remained single with no such person on the horizon. It can even begin to feel like that’s the way it will always be. If you’re working through feelings of longing, lonelin...
