    One of the best podcasts on dating
    I first learned about dating intentionally through instagram then decided I should give the podcast a try and I’m glad I did! Talia does such a good job at breaking down different dating subjects and making them relatable along with bringing on great guests. This has definitely helped me with my mindset and how I approach dating and have her to thank for that.

    Great Podcast
    I just recently discovered this podcast. I find it very useful because it’s chock full of practical advice. I was initially hesitant because I don’t find many dating podcasts that are relatable to me as a 61 yo. My one critique is that her speech delivery is quite rapid. When I slow down the speed, it takes away from the nuances in her tone. That’s my reason for the 4 stars. Too. Fast. 😩.. but it’s still good.

    The Real One
    I’ve been following Talia since she started dating intentionally. I’ve always found her dating insights super helpful. Just recently started dating again and listening to her podcast. She’s the best. Kind, practical, affirming, smart advice. I leave each podcast feeling wiser and more capable and confident in dating.
  • santaclams
    Lots of great content
    Talia provides a ton of wise and approachable content. I also did one of her zoom courses which was great. I would love it if she would slow down her delivery a bit, and edit in some pauses, especially between content and ads.

  • Carmelitaxs
    Love it
    I love listening to Talia. Her advice is very practical. She has good topics, great guests, and also takes listener questions and answers and makes whole shows on the common subjects. I’ve listened to some episodes multiple times, taken notes, and shared with friends. Such a realistic approach to dating.

    Dating after divorce
    Talia’s podcast dating intentionally was the first podcast I discovered coming out of a 10 year relationship, 4 year marriage, 1 year of separation while going through a divorce all while entering a new relationship. 9 months into a new relationship it has taught me so much through my dating and relationship journey as I rediscover myself and learn from previous mistakes and grow in my healthier secure relationship. I continue to listen to dating intentionally in my relationship journey because she continues to bring up relevant content such as how to date/ be in a relationship with someone with avoidant attachment and dating after divorce. She ends each episode with positive affirmations that really brings up your confidence and self esteem. Talia has been a supportive light on my drives to work in some of the darkest moments and mornings of my life in 2024. Thank you Talia for creating a supportive and growth minded community and for sharing your experiences that everyone can relate to and connect with.

    Life changing
    This podcast has been truly life changing. I love Talia’s mindset and approach. She is pragmatic, open and non-judgmental in beautiful ways. She also has helped me find other healing podcasts and dating experts she has had as guests. I can never thank her enough.
  • Evy Z.
    Love Talia’s POV
    One benefit of the technological age of dating that I’ve been enjoying as of late is finding like minded women who are not only navigating dating in ways that I admire, but also succeeding! Talia is a wonderful example of how dating in 2024 and beyond can be fun and work for every woman. So much encouragement and helpful tips. Definitely recommend.
  • Dating in NYC
    Like hanging out with a friend
    Talia has wonderful insight into the modern world of dating. As someone who is recently divorced, I’ve found her podcast to be invaluable as I’ve ventured back into the dating world after many years. Her advice feels like it is coming from a good friend. I always look forward to the new episodes. You won’t regret giving this podcast a listen!
  • Dating tip pro
    Solid concise tips
    This podcast is great if you want specific tips on dating scenarios. It’s helpful to get an outside perspective on various dating scenarios, some of which may be directly relatable and others are simply interesting to learn about!
  • Jen_Noir
    Great show with solid, practical advice
    I don’t normally leave reviews but i do love this show. I’m often listening to back to back episodes on my commute. As a self-confessed self-help junkie, i find that this show is entertaining, smart and feels like I’m hanging out with a friend who always has sage advice. Def worthy of a listen!
  • SissyLarry
    Stick to the topic
    I was interested in listening to the podcast. Within the first 30 seconds of the first episode I listened to they started talking politics. I though this was a podcast about dating? In a world where we are so inundated with politics it would be nice to not have to listen to someone’s “opinion” on a podcast that has nothing to do with politics. Start a political podcast, keep them separate!
  • alli_goldi
    Go listen!
    Talia is a delight. You won’t regret it!
  • Scarlette66
    Long distance dating
    I haven’t dated in a very long time and just got back into it. It’s tough when you’re a 67 yo female. Your advice is spot on and so helpful, especially re long distance romance. I have so many questions
  • Danigirl8
    Game Changer!
    Incredibly thankful I stumbled upon this podcast and IG account. Talia (host/founder) gives very straightforward, realistic advice with examples that truly is not hard to follow and has helped me transform my not-so-great dating habits into even better ones! The advice/teachings has helped me get into a new relationship, too. Highly recommend this to those of you struggling to navigate today’s complicated dating scene.
  • Tarty party
    Whether you’re dating or in a relationship, this podcast has helpful advice!
    I really appreciate the breath of topics and the various dating experts Talia interviews. It’s like destigmatizing different aspect of the dating process that we don’t normally talk about.

    Fun to listen to and appreciate her perspective! For those navigating the dating world - it’s awesome to feel like you have a friend by your side!
  • gothamist906
    Oof so obnoxious and out of touch
    One word we can all agree on: condescending Talia has no business being a “dating” coach. Whatever you do, please do not listen to her drivel.
  • McNCheese88
    Useful and realistic advice
    Talia is a great podcast host - her advice comes from personal experience as well as interviews with others in the field. As someone who listens to a lot of relationship podcasts, I can say this is one of the best. I really appreciate how organized her episodes are.
  • carajanine
    Amazing advice!
    Talia provides excellent advice that is immediately applicable. Because of her show, I was able to change the way I communicated with guys and this led to both of them initiating contact and being proactive about expressing their interest and then setting up dates. Thank you!
  • K Weave 23
    Yes!
    So real. Great reminder to have fun and comfort with dating, learn about yourself, and with effort- good things do come along
  • Jmtfwm
    I love this podcast
    Interesting guests. I look forward to every episode! I have learned a lot about myself so far. :)
  • selibrate
    Don't mistake this show for expertise!
    Couldn't even get through the "Rom Com vs Real Life" episode. The perspective from the host and her partner are highly subjective and critical. Their views stem from generational ignorance. As someone who dated actively in the early 2000's and who read the book, "He's Just Not that Into You," I can confirm that the messaging of how men think and how they approached dating during that time is spot on. The film only highlights the reality of the time. What a wasted opportunity. This episode could have done a better service by talking about the book (instead of the film) and discussed how dating self-help has changed over the years. Unfortunately, the co-host of this episode undermines the integrity of the show and reinforces harmful male narratives. His critique of films does not make him an expert in dating. He has absolutely no business offering dating tips to a majoral female audience.

    Practical Advice
    I looooove this podcast and Talia's Instagram—can't get enough! I can be a bit avoidant or anxious, depending on the guy I'm dating, and episode 79 hit me like a ton of bricks. Just because something in me screams to leave doesn't mean it's right. Someone who wants to stay and talk it out > looking for that Disney fantasy of a perfect soulmate. Often social media and friends tell us that if there's any little conflict or anxiety, that's our gut instinct saying they're not the one. Talia keeps it real and says even a very loving, committed relationship has its moments of conflict or triggers. I've listened to every episode, even the former Patreon ones, and can say each one has useful takeaways whether you're single, dating around (IRL or online), or in a relationship.
  • Verongo
    Insightful & relevant.
    Found the episodes super helpful in my dating journey. I did binge listen to quite a few of them.
  • JannikeTH
    Realism
    Straightforward, down-to-earth advice. The kind of stuff you need to hear a million times for it to sink in and this podcast is a great calm source of it.

  • laurenhandstands
    A great source of grounded, practical dating advice!
    Talia has a way of distilling the madness of the modern dating world into concise and practical advice. She covers SO many topics! This podcast is essential for anyone dating today, both on dating apps and IRL.
  • Abkajea
    LOVE LOVE LOVE
    Absolutely BINGED this podcast! (Currently day 3 episode 32 lol) she has covered so manyyyyy topics. Such good souls sound advice. You can tell she has been to therapy (in the best way possible) so if you’re someone who has also been working on yourself or strive to be more aware/ healed girl mindset she is awesome!!! She is also not biased, she will bring others who have different ways on her show as well! Which is awesome because I didn’t always align with some things (I don’t like to pursue) but she did a podcast with someone that I was more aligned with and I loved hearing both sides! Looking forward to getting caught up the podcast!!!
  • Snoopinandboopin

    In a world where there is a lot of outdated and silly pieces of advice around dating, this podcast gets it. The advice and tools on this podcast are practical and helpful in today’s modern dating world. Thanks Talia!

    Loving Talia’s dating advice!
    I appreciate your approach to dating and the techniques you offer. It is a hard word for dating, but you make it enjoyable and hopeful.

    Funny and helpful
    Talia’s podcast is well produced, funny, and helpful. As a 40 something solo parent I find it useful to listen to her take on online dating. It’s very progressive and modern.
  • KELKAT97
    Great tangible realistic advice
    This podcast has such great realistic and tangible advice, so game changing! Highly recommend for anyone navigating the dating scene, this pod will help you feel less alone.
  • Olivia Pasquarelli
    The best dating podcast out there
    This is the only dating podcast that I’ve felt improved my life, my outlook, and my approach to dating and relationships. Talia being vulnerable enough to share her own experience has helped me so much and I’m sure has helped many others. I’m in a new relationship now - the healthiest one I’ve ever been in. There are many factors to this - healing in therapy, learning more about myself, and spending time single. But this podcast helped me define what I was looking for, set boundaries, and get past the inevitable bummers that happen when you’re dating on apps. It’s practical while still being very entertaining. Definitely worth a listen whether you’re single, dating, or in a relationship.
  • Hayley Mix
    Practical refreshing balanced advice
    I’m 41 single and was married and divorced young. Have experienced every website/ app/ speed dating & in person approach to dating in multiple cities. Have approached a variety of different relationship types. Talia level sets backs it up keeps it down to earth and will resonates to nearly all demographics with the way she approaches this podcast. I’ve shared with friends and found it an energizing addition/ part time dating coach to my pursuits toward a long term partner! Thanks Talia !
  • Rox42490
