Dating today feels like emotional gymnastics — and no one knows that better than Talia, a dating expert and podcast host who went on 150 dates in one year. In this episode, I sit down with Talia to unpack what she learned, how she stayed grounded, and why modern dating can be so mentally exhausting.

We talk about:

  • The neuroscience of dating and attachment styles
  • How to build resilience after rejection
  • Dating app burnout
  • What “slow burn chemistry” actually means
  • The role of neuroplasticity in healing unhealthy patterns
  • Why self-compassion might be your strongest dating tool

Talia also shares daily practices, mindset shifts, and practical advice that will help anyone — whether you’re new to dating, starting over, or just tired of the same dead-end patterns.


This conversation will change how you think about dating, love, and your brain.
