Can you envision going through high school and college without ever being asked out on a date? And all the while wondering what was wrong, was it the city you were in? The guys that you were attracted to? Or was it you?

Dating and relationship expert, Damona Hoffman decided to try online dating in the early 2000’s and then proceeded to fall in love with the process, delighting in the science of “soul swiping”, and developing a side hustle, coaching others through the online dating hacks she discovered while finding her own soulmate.

What would you do if after marrying your husband and getting promoted to Vice President in your dream career, your friends still clamored for your guidance on their quests to find their ideal mates? Would you make your side gig your main gig and devote yourself to helping people find their life partners? Or would you decide it was better to hold on to your VP status, even if it suddenly felt inauthentic to who you really were.
