Are the stories you’re telling yourself hurting your love life? We are so excited to have dating coach and author Damona Hoffman tell us why we should say F*CK THE FAIRYTALE and find what’s real. We talk about why romanticizing pop culture fantasies, chemistry, and soulmates could be hindering you, and how to reframe the stories we tell ourselves. We discuss the four dating myths, how long a first date should last, breaking outdated “rules”, opening yourself up to what’s unfamiliar, and more. Before Damona joins us, we’re talking about the “elite half” of certain zodiac signs, sharing food on dates and what your style says about you, and a friendship red flag. Enjoy!
