You might’ve had a tough childhood. You might’ve been a child of divorce, or from a broken home, or without good role models to show you love, or how to function in a healthy, stable relationship. Your past–regardless of how dysfunctional or tumultuous–shouldn’t stop you (or keep you) from finding love and attracting healthy relationships. You don’t have to be a legacy to what you experienced growing up. You can overcome incredible odds and obstacles, you just need the right guidance. Our guest this week, clinical psychologist Dr. Margaret Rutherford, will give you practical tools, skills, and insight to help you get over your past, and onward to healthy love.

Sex and the Single Girl was wildly popular non-fiction book written in 1962 by Helen Gurley Brown, editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine. It broke taboos and sold millions by encouraging women to take charge of their sex lives at a time when men had all the power in the bedroom. 56 years later, the single girl might have more say and more power, but when it comes to sex, she still has questions.

Whether you’re a single gal worried about her mojo, or a guy wondering how to turn his girl on, all your questions will be answered by our guest this week, psychotherapist, writer, and sex coach, Vanessa Marin.

The Rolling Stones once said: “You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you find you get what you need.” But can you get what you need without settling? Is even a little settling too much? How do you keep your bar raised, your standards high, and still be realistic? The real truth is, you get what you need when you stop searching, and start settling.

Settling isn’t a dirty word, it’s just misunderstood. On this week’s episode of DONE BEING SINGLE, we’re inviting Lori Gottlieb, psychotherapist and author of the New York Times bestseller, “MARRY HIM: The Case For Marrying Mr. Good Enough,” to put a different spin on settling. And she should know—she wrote the book on it.

We all have them—some are harsh, some are unreasonable, and some are more deal points than deal breakers.

Won’t date a guy who’s separated? Won’t date a woman with small kids? Don’t want to be a nurse or a purse? Don’t want to date someone who isn’t a college grad, great looking, or rich enough? Good luck with that.

As we discussed in last week’s episode, nobody’s perfect, but shouldn’t everyone have a few non-negotiables when they’re dating?

There’s great debate on whether deal breakers are self-protective, or self-sabotage–especially if used to put up obstacles or make excuses. Tune in this week when we debate deal breakers with Brian Howie, host and creator of the Great Love Debate world tour, and the Great Love Debate podcast, the top-rated dating & relationship podcast on iTunes since 2016.
