Episode 173: 🌟 How to Date Authentically and Build Real Love with Dr. Jeanne Michele

Let’s be real: dating in today’s swipe-right world can feel like a game you didn’t sign up for. Between ghosting, mixed signals, and second-guessing your own needs, it’s easy to wonder: Am I doing this right?

In this empowering episode, I sit down with Dr. Jeanne Michele â€” relationship specialist, psychologist, and author of The Infidelity Cure â€” to talk about what it really means to date and love authentically. Jeanne brings her signature blend of heart, wisdom, and straight talk to help us see dating not as a performance, but as a mirror — a reflection of who we are, what we want, and where we might be holding ourselves back.

Together, we dive into:

  • The difference between dating and relationshipping â€” and why both matter in building healthy love

  • How to have Courageous Conversations that honor your needs without pushing love away

  • The subtle ways we betray ourselves in relationships (and how to stop repeating old patterns)

  • Why dating is one of the best mirrors for self-awareness — and how to use it for growth

  • How to stay open-hearted in love while still protecting your truth and boundaries

This conversation is an invitation to approach love with courage, compassion, and clarity. Whether you’re single, dating, or redefining what love means to you, Jeanne’s insights will help you stop settling, start honoring yourself, and finally create the kind of authentic connection you deserve.
