I don’t do well in the early stages of dating—and I’ve finally accepted it. In this episode of Love, Brie, I share what I’ve realized about myself: I thrive as someone’s girlfriend, but the back-and-forth uncertainty of “getting to know you” is draining.I get candid about my own dating life, the patterns I’m noticing, and how I’m navigating the unsteady world of modern romance. If you’ve ever wondered why the first few weeks of dating feel so hard—or how to survive them without losing your mind—this

Confession: I swiped like a maniac on dating apps last week — and realized my needy energy was sabotaging my love life. In this episode, I get real about the subconscious patterns that make me overextend, chase the wrong men, and stay stuck on the ones who aren’t right for me.I share how I’m rewriting my dating life by: acknowledging my feelings, setting clear boundaries, cleaning up my matches, and shifting my energy to attract the kind of man I actually want — someone who’s directed, present, and

Dating used to terrify me. I didn’t know what I wanted, I was scared of rejection, and honestly? I was scared of letting someone into my life. But somewhere along the way, I realized dating doesn’t have to be a chore — it can actually be fun.In this episode of Love, Brie, I talk about how to bring joy, curiosity, and lightness back to dating without the pressure, burnout, or endless swiping. Based on my Substack essay, “Let’s Make Dating Fun Again,” I share what helped me shift from fear to fun when

why rejection in dating is actually a good thing

Love, Brie ·

2025/10/02

Rejection stings, but it’s not the enemy—it’s actually a sign you’re on the right path in dating. In this episode of Love, Brie, I share how I’ve learned to reframe rejection as something to be proud of, not ashamed of. Every “no” isn’t proof that you’re failing—it’s proof that you’re showing up and moving closer to your “yes.” We’ll talk about why rejection is part of the process, how to get comfortable with it, and how to start seeing it as guidance instead of punishment. Because rejection isn’t

In this episode of Love, Brie, I talk about what it was like stepping into that advice-columnist role (spoiler: it feels a little surreal!) and why the old saying “happy wife doesn’t equal happy life” needs a serious update.Then I dive into my own recent first date and give you my best dating tips for staying calm and confident before meeting someone new.

Dating these days is…a lot. From endless swiping on Hinge and Bumble to awkward talking stages that never seem to end, it can feel like finding love is a full-time job. That’s why I brought in matchmaker Cassindy Chao for this week’s episode of Love, Brie. We break down what a matchmaker actually does (hint: it’s not just setting you up on blind dates), why you might want to hire one, and how matchmaking can be the antidote to modern dating burnout.Cassindy and I get into the good, the bad, and the

Even relationship writers can miss the obvious red flags in dating. In this episode, I share the relationship blind spots that kept me from seeing the signs of unhealthy relationships, the dating mistakes I made, and why they were so easy to overlook at the time. You’ll hear how hindsight changes everything, why self-compassion matters more than self-blame, and the biggest lessons I’ve learned about love, boundaries, and trusting your instincts.

I talk about how “traveling” has somehow become a placeholder for personality, and how we’ve started curating our dating profiles more for performance than connection.I also share a moment of unintentional (but very enlightening) eavesdropping on two first dates at the same coffee

Let’s have a little come-to-Jesus moment, shall we? In this episode of Love, Brie, I’m delivering a much-needed pep talk for anyone hanging onto the hope that maybe he’ll change once he “commits.” Spoiler alert: he won’t.If he’s confused now, if he’s inconsistent now, if he’s not choosing you now — guess what? A relationship isn’t going to magically fix that. In fact, committing to a man like this only amplifies the very issues you’re trying to ignore. And babe, you deserve better.This episode is

2025/07/16

today I’m talking about something I'm calling: my meeting season. That subtle, sacred shift from simply being single to knowing, or at least hoping, that you're entering the season where love shows up. The season of “almosts” turning into “oh, this could be something.”I woke up feeling a little heavy this morning — not because I don’t love my single life (I do, deeply), but because I’m human. And part of being human is wanting connection. Craving love. Hoping someone is out there hoping for you,

In this episode of Love, Brie, I’m diving into one of the most overlooked parts of modern dating: how to do intimacy without commitment — and do it like a grown-up. Too often, casual connections lack the honesty, respect, and emotional maturity that make them feel good for everyone involved.I talk about why it’s so important to take casual relationships seriously, communicate clearly, and be upfront about what you truly want. Being clear doesn’t kill the magic — it actually makes intimacy hotter and

You don’t want him obsessed with you — you need to be obsessed with you. This week on Love, Brie, I’m diving into the dating trend that’s taken over TikTok and beyond: women saying they only want a man who's “obsessed” with them. And honestly? That energy is not it.Here’s the thing — you don’t actually want that. In this episode, I’m breaking down why that obsession talk doesn’t sit right with me, why it’s not actually romantic, and why it points to a deeper issue: you’re looking for someone else to

In this solo episode of Love, Brie, I go on a bit of a rant (surprise!) about the state of modern dating and what I’ve been noticing lately — more detachment, more aloofness, and a lot less actual connection. It feels like everyone is trying to date like a black cat: cool, mysterious, unavailable. But here’s the truth — that vibe might be aesthetic on Instagram, but it’s not sustainable when you actually want something real.I talk about how dating culture has shifted toward casual everything —
