Episode Mastering the Art of Dating
Dating today feels like emotional gymnastics — and no one knows that better than Talia, a dating expert and podcast host who went on 150 dates in one year. In this episode, I sit down with Talia to unpack what she learned, how she stayed grounded, and why modern dating can be so mentally exhausting.
We talk about:
• The neuroscience of dating and attachment styles • How to build resilience after rejection • Dating app burnout • What “slow burn chemistry” actually means • The role of neuroplasticity in healing unhealthy patterns • Why self-compassion might be your strongest dating tool
Talia also shares daily practices, mindset shifts, and practical advice that will help anyone — whether you’re new to dating, starting over, or just tired of the same dead-end patterns.
This conversation will change how you think about dating, love, and your brain.
