So grateful to be back on FOX 10 Phoenix Talks talking about something so many singles are quietly struggling with right now.

In this segment, I shared why modern dating feels so exhausting, why “chemistry” isn’t always the green flag we think it is, and what actually creates real connection over time.

We talked about how dating apps have unintentionally reduced effort and curiosity, how fear of vulnerability is showing up as over-analysis and burnout, and why approaching dating with intention (not pressure) changes everything.

I also shared my 2-3-5 Dating Formula, a simple way to decide who to continue dating without spiraling or forcing a decision too soon.

If you’re newly single, back out there after the holidays, or feeling stuck heading into Valentine’s Day, this conversation is meant to feel grounding and practical, not overwhelming.

I’ll be back on FOX 10 on February 13th to talk all things Valentine’s Day, relationships, and dating in today’s world 💗

Would love to hear what resonated most for you!

When clients come to me, it’s rarely just about dating...
it’s about feeling stuck in a pattern, craving clarity,
and wanting to finally feel safe opening their heart again. 💫

Reading words like these reminds me why I do what I do. ❤️

Love isn’t luck...
it’s alignment, healing,
and the courage to choose differently.

If you’re ready to stop repeating the same story
and start attracting the kind of connection your soul has been craving,
I’m here for you. 💛

About 11 years ago, I remember feeling like my life was almost complete. I had given up on dating and decided to build a life that made me happy. I was a successful entrepreneur, my kids (15 and 12) were thriving, and yet…I knew something was missing. A partner.

I’d been through the trenches—online dating, set-ups, long drives for first dates, mistakes on repeat. After divorcing my narcissistic, alcoholic ex, I didn’t believe in romance. I didn’t believe I deserved love that felt safe, secure, and steady. My nervous system didn’t even recognize that kind of love. I knew I needed to heal, to recover, to love myself again.

Then one day, I decided to try online dating one last time. This was pre-app days, so I made a profile on Plenty of Fish (yes—the free one). Within a week, there he was. His profile stood out—unique, creative. One photo showed him driving with his head out the window like he was soaking up life. I loved life too. I was curious about him—not his height, job, or education. I didn’t overanalyze or look for reasons to say no. I just saw a good man I wanted to know more about.

We emailed for two weeks before meeting in person on 8.8.14. That day became my last first date.

This man—my best friend and the most amazing human I’ve ever met—has changed my life. He’s shown me that romance is alive—and that I am worthy of it. Instead of dimming my light, he’s encouraged it to shine brighter.

We’ve lost parents, sent kids to college, moved, endured a pandemic, and so much more—side by side. He knows my “emotional” love style and will say, “Tell me the stuff,” when I look at him a certain way. He pulls me up from my desk, dances in the kitchen with me, hugs me a dozen times a day, and lets me cry without judgment.

It’s because of him I became a matchmaker. People would ask me for years, “Where do I get a Brian?” I wanted to help people find their “Brian”. He taught me what love is and I wanted others to have what I have ❤️

Happy 2nd wedding anniversary to my best friend, my safe place, my favorite human. I’m still so curious about you, and I fall more in love with you every single day. ❤️

I love you Brian. ❤️
