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.

EP 9: Is ‘Good Enough’ Good Enough?

Lori Gottlieb

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.

Dating with baggage–you may have some, or you may be dating someone who has some. Kids, a crazy ex, an ugly divorce, personal issues, all qualify as stuff we bring with us when we date, and get into new relationships. The baggage might be heavy, but it doesn’t have to weigh you down. Our guest this week, Tom Carouso, MFT, will help you unpack your baggage, unload your stuff, and free yourself up to love.

There’s something for everybody.

Who are you online? A straight shooter or con job? Do you lie about your age, height, weight, income, marital status, etc? Or, do you tell the truth and hope for the best? On this week’s DONE BEING SINGLE, we’re delving into the shady world of online dating, with its liars, bullshitters, and yes, some very good people too.

Adding her insights to the discussion will be cyber-dating expert Julie Spira, author of the bestseller, “The Perils of Cyber-Dating: Confessions of a Hopeful Romantic Looking for Love Online.”

EP 5: Deal Breakers: Dig them or ditch them?

Brian Howie

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.

Join us as we explore the deeper reasons for pickiness, and it’s flip side, not picky enough.

EP 2: Is There Such A Thing As Right Person, Wrong Time?

Guest Information
Dr. Karin Anderson Abrell

Does the concept of “Right Person, Wrong Time” really exist? Or, is it that you just haven’t met the right person yet, regardless of what time it is and where you are in life? Are the people we meet at the wrong time actually just the wrong people? Or, is there something wrong with us? We’ll debate these age old questions with psychologist and late blooming bride, Dr. Karin Abrell Anderson, author of the book “Single is the New Black: Don’t Wear White ‘Til It’s Right.” We’ll also be sharing dating tips, rants, raves, dating stories from hell, and conducting real-time dating intervention!
