WOW! I cannot believe I'm saying this but.... Welcome Back to a NEW episode of "Behind The Rainbow"?!?
It's been 3 YEARS since I posted my last episode and of course the only person that could inspire me to create a new episode is the one and only, Queen of Matchmaking-- Aleeza Ben Shalom from Netflix's Jewish Matchmaking.
In this episode we talk all things dating: including dating during a war, going to singles events, playing games, soulmates, and more.
I feel passionately that this episode is something one of you out there needed to hear right now, because I sure did, so make sure to give a review on the podcast page about this episode and send me a DM with your thoughts and if you want more! And SHARE THIS EPISODE WITH YOUR FRIENDS!

She also shares some money motivational words to get us all through working out from home along with some lessons she's learning from these times.

"But have YOU watched the show 'Love Is Blind'?" is the question that everyone is asking these days. Well, as we're all in this #QuarantineAndChill vibes, the probability that you've seen Netflix's stab at the dating reality show "Love Is Blind" is most likely a YES as it's taking over the world! I mean, the concept of marrying someone just by getting to know them on the inside is WILD! Today I have on cast member Diamond Jack to talk about "the experiment", her journey before and after the show, and what she's learned from it all!

They say a picture's worth a thousand words, but what goes on behind one picture I believe takes up about a million words. On today's episode I have the girl BEHIND the photos that I create and post, Mayra Lozano.
