Single (not spiraling)

There's a new dating trend everywhere right now, and on the surface it sounds like solid advice: date the guy who's less conventionally hot, because he'll treat you better. Lauren stumbled on it mid-scroll while hunting for this week's topic, and had a lot of thoughts. This episode breaks down where the trend actually falls apart, what you should be watching for instead in the first few dates, and how to tell the difference between attraction that's genuinely building and you just talking yourself into someone. Plus: how to figure out your actual non-negotiables, versus the preferences you've been treating like deal-breakers.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Please email me here: [email protected] for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

Not every season calls for celibacy. Some call for community. Some call for a hoe phase.

Why is it so hard to just sit with yourself for one Tuesday night? This week I'm getting into what's actually happening when you reach for the dating apps — because half the time it's not about dating at all. It's about wanting proof someone's paying attention, wanting to feel wanted, wanting anything other than the quiet of being alone with yourself. I'm breaking down what you're really chasing when you open that app, and what to do instead of handing your attention over to a stranger.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Please email me here: [email protected] for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

Okay, real talk — you think you're not a creative person. You're wrong, and this episode is me proving it. Not another "get back out there and date" ep — this one's about getting out of your slump by making stuff instead of waiting to feel inspired. Creativity is why we're alive, and I want you to create your world. And creativity has nothing to do with art — it can, but there's so much more you're creating. Your days, your routines, your relationships, the way you spend a random Tuesday — all of it. By the end, you'll realize you have something worth creating.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Please email me here: [email protected] for coaching HEREWould You Date You? FREE guide

You're doing the work of decentering men, but who's actually in your corner while you do it? This week Lauren gets into the friendship gap nobody talks about — why it happens, why it's harder to fix than you'd think, and what it actually takes to build real community as an adult. Spoiler: it involves leaving your couch.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram  Please email me here: [email protected] for coaching HEREWould You Date You? FREE guide
