Dating today can feel confusing, discouraging, and honestly exhausting. Between endless swiping, mixed signals, and a culture that rewards chemistry over compatibility, a lot of people are left wondering what is actually going wrong and whether real love is still possible. In this episode, I sit down with Danny Goldstein, a former corporate lawyer turned matchmaker and founder of Crux Compatible, to talk about the state of modern dating from a completely different vantage point.

From dating and intimacy to conflict and emotional safety, we unpack how much of what we experience in relationships is less abou...
Today’s episode is a really special one for me. Bryan Reeves is someone whose work impacted me long before I had a podcast, long before I was coaching, and during a season when I really needed it. I read Choose Her Every Day or Leave Her while going through a breakup, and it was one of those books that didn’t just validate my experience, it gave language to needs I didn’t yet know how to name. It helped me understand what I was actually longing for in partnership and what I would never again ...

We talk about how they navigated differences in faith early in their relationship, what it has been...
Dating is already hard enough… so why are we making it harder with all these unspoken rules and assumptions? In this solo episode of Let’s Talk Relationships, I’m getting real about dating expectations, the kind we carry in our heads without even realizing it, and how they quietly sabotage connection. From the “he has to confirm the date or else” mindset to shutting down casual first date ideas, these little rules create more walls than doors. I share some of my own experiences (and what I’ve...

What does it really mean to steward singleness well? In this conversation, we dive into the tension of wanting to be present while feeling the pull of “what’s next,” the grief that can surface when life doesn’t look the way we expected, and the ways time can feel louder in this season. I’m joined by Ryan Wekenman—pastor at Red Rocks Austin, storyteller, and author of Single Today—and Jenelle Cherek, social worker and single foster parent, for a candid conversation about the beauty and c...
When Robin first met Mike, every sign pointed to walk away. He was 16 years older, already a grandfather, and (in her words) “everything about this was a hard pass.” But then something happened. In this episode, my dear friends Mike and Robin Evans share their 33-year love story: how an unlikely connection through a divorce recovery ministry turned into a marriage that has lasted over three decades. We talk about the spark that caught them off guard, the challenges of blending families, navi...

In my first ever solo episode (!) I’m opening up about some major life shifts: turning 35, leaving my corporate job in commercial real estate, and taking a huge leap of faith toward the work I feel truly called to do. I talk about what it’s looked like to slow down, get quiet, and actually listen—to myself, to God, and to the gentle nudges that come with closed doors and unexpected redirections. From health to friendships to family (especially aging parents), I’m sharing what’s been on my h...
