Relatable Love:
All things love dating and relating, since 2011.
I started Relatable Love because I wanted to create a space where conversations about dating and relationships felt more real, more thoughtful, and more reflective of how people are actually experiencing love today.
​
Drawing from my 14 years as a professional matchmaker and insights from my private practice as a Qualified Couples Relationship Therapist i will share what I know from couples on the couch to those looking to consciously couple on the modern dating scene.
​
So much of modern dating & relating can feel confusing or disconnected from what creates meaningful, lasting relationships. I have answers, I have questions, I have antidotes and experts with a whole lot of opinions - I can't wait for you to hear how we decode love, dating and relating.
This podcast is about making sense of all of that — exploring the patterns, dynamics and decisions that shape how we connect, and what it really takes to build something secure and lasting.
