2026/03/31

If you want to date men AND you want to decenter men... This week's episode of The Feminist Dating Show (episode 268) is a giant permission slip. Because most dating advice is telling you to go on more dates, give more people a chance, stop being so picky. And all of that is designed to exhaust you into settling. (and you deserve more) Decentering men doesn't mean never dating a man again. It means stopping the habit of using the wrong men as evidence against your desires. It means re-centering

Dating in your main character energy means more access to everything you want. More connection. More aliveness. More of the good stuff. It also means more rejection. BOO.

Who met all of her essence-based preferences. And she almost talked herself out of it. Not because he did anything wrong. Because she felt ashamed for wanting partnership after working so hard to become independent. In this live coaching session on The Feminist Dating Show, I coach Cora through the spiral in real

2025/11/25

If you're stuck in a spiral of overthinking — replaying conversations, asking 15 friends what to do, imagining every worst-case scenario — this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Overthinking isn't you being "careful." It's a self-trust deficit. And that is a skill gap, not a character flaw. In this episode, I break down: • Why anxious rumination feels so real and so urgent • How patriarchy, people-pleasing, and fear of rejection trained you not to trust yourself • The difference between
