Podcasts about dating and relationships

What do you do when your hot‑girl era turns into a medical horror story? I broke my foot on a date, got a UTI, and spent the day being gaslit by the ER - who sent me home TWICE with a literal displaced fracture… but not before charging me for wasting my time. I can't walk for two months, might need surgery, and now I'm side‑eyeing my friends because my scorpio senses are tingling that one of them definitely gave me the evil eye. It's giving delusion, humiliation, and the American healthcare system at its finest.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to our conversation with the host of the Wellness for Dating Culture, by Anna Yoo—former educator, two-time pageant winner, and passionate advocate for emotional wellness in relationships.

In Episode 140, astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield turn their cosmic gaze to pop music's famous star, Lady Gaga, and her venture capitalist fiancé, Michael Polansky.   The analysis begins with Gaga's chart, revealing a creative, pioneering Aries Sun. A trine to Saturn shows her resilience in the face of setbacks, while a square from Neptune fuels her deep compassion and fluid sense of identity. Her Aries Venus, trined by Uranus, points to a fearless and uniquely rebellious style.   Moving to Michael's chart, we find an equality-oriented Libra Sun, with a sextile from Uranus and Jupiter creating an incredibly outgoing and charming personality. A Venus/Mars conjunction in Leo thrives in the spotlight, though a square from the Moon suggests potential difficulties in interpersonal relationships.   Together, their charts reveal compelling synastry: one is Mars-ruled, the other Venus-ruled, with opposing Suns creating complimentary energy. A Mercury opposition balances imagination and diligence, while an incredible Venus/Mars trine generates never-ending attraction. However, a Venus/Pluto opposition warns of potential power struggles, and heavy south node contacts with Saturn and Uranus indicate significant karmic lessons at play. Will this prove to be a lasting union? Tune in to hear the final Venus score for this newly engaged couple!   Book a Reading with us!

Coming up on this episode of Flirtations, we're talking all things queer and gay dating with the incredible Nathan Serrato! Nathan is a trauma-informed coach and host of the Queer Conscious podcast, helping LGBTQ+ individuals and couples build thriving, intentional relationships rooted in self-worth, communication, and emotional intimacy. Inside the episode, we explore the beautifully complex, sometimes messy, and yet always real world of queer dating.  We talk about the “Queer Crossroads” and how to navigate that blurry line between friends, flings, dates, sex, and more. We get into meeting in real life vs. online, and how to flirt while staying grounded and authentic. We'll also talk about breakups within friend groups and social cirlces, monogamy and open relationships, the concept of a second adolescence, and how to handle dating when it feels more like a search for validation than a path to true connection. Nathan also shares his insights around body image in our swipe culture, what to do when dating apps feel more exhausting than exciting, and how to build the kind of queer connection that feels safe, sexy, and fun. Finally, we'll touch on mental health, the importance of friendships, how to make friends, and how we can love ourselves, perhaps, a little bit more. So, whether you're new to queer dating, have been around the block and back, or are just curious (hello, straights!), this episode has something for you. Let's do the Flirties, and meet Nathan!

We're talking love that lasts.I also open up for the first time about being deaf—how it's made me feel small, different, and deeply afraid of being pitied… and how I moved past it.This is the episode where we stop waiting to be "healed enough" for love—and finally figure out what we actually want and deserve.Tune in if:You keep attracting the same wrong person in a different fontYou're overthinking love to deathYou're ready to be loved without fixing every flaw firstListen ‘til the end for the story that might just change how you see yourself—and love—forever.Wanna listen to this episode AD FREE??

Today I'm joined by viral creator MJ Gray to break down everything from the Wizard Liz drama, delusional men who want “traditional women” but can't even lead… to why the 50/50 dating fantasy is officially dead. We're talking cheating, bill-paying boyfriends, men who secretly resent powerful women, and why you should think twice who you have a baby with.If you've ever wondered why the guy who chases you ends up trying to humble you, why some friends feel like emotional leeches, or why men always “circle back” after destroying everything—this episode is your new bible. And be sure to tune in to the last 10 min since I drop a final update on Wizard Liz that might change the way you see her forever.Follow MJ Grey TikTok here :)Wanna listen to this episode AD FREE??

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.  In our response lies our growth and our freedom” – Viktor FranklThis is one of my favorite quotes, because it describes the importance of pausing when something triggers us. We don't react – we respond. In our Western hustle culture, pausing is not encouraged, but it's one of the most important things we can do to help us have better lives. How can we practice the power of the pause in dating and relationships?►Please subscribe/rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts http://bit.ly/lastfirstdateradio ►If you're feeling stuck in dating and relationships and would like to find your last first date, sign up for a complimentary 45-minute breakthrough session with Sandy https://lastfirstdate.com/application ►Join Your Last First Date on Facebook https://facebook.com/groups/yourlastfirstdate ►Get Sandy's books, Becoming a Woman of Value; How to Thrive in Life and Love https://bit.ly/womanofvaluebook , Choice Points in Dating https://amzn.to/3jTFQe9 and Love at Last https://amzn.to/4erpj7C ►Get FREE coaching on the podcast! https://bit.ly/LFDradiocoaching ►FREE download: “Top 10 Reasons Why Men Suddenly Pull Away” http://bit.ly/whymendisappear ►Group Coaching: https://lastfirstdate.com/the-woman-of-value-club/ ►Website → https://lastfirstdate.com/ ► Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/lastfirstdate1/ ►Get Amazon Music Unlimited FREE for 30 days at https://getamazonmusic.com/lastfirstdate
