In this episode of Shot@Love, Kerry Brett sits down with author of the popular book Bar Tips by Neil Rogers for a powerful conversation about human connection, dating, and what the hospitality industry can teach us about finding love. Neil shares how decades behind the bar shaped his understanding of people, respect, and first impressions—and why dating, like bartending, is ultimately a people business. From the importance of a proper greeting to the power of listening more than you speak, this episode explores how small, intentional actions can completely change the way we connect with others. The conversation dives into transferable skills from hospitality that apply directly to dating, including preparation, punctuality, reading the room, and meeting people where they are. Neil explains why being “right” is overrated, how kindness builds trust, and why showing up without an agenda creates deeper, more authentic connections. Kerry and Neil also discuss loneliness, modern dating challenges like ghosting, and how technology has made it easier to hide instead of engage. They explore why respect, compassion, and presence are more attractive than perfection—and how confidence grows when we focus less on impressing and more on genuinely connecting. This episode is a reminder that love doesn’t come from performance or pressure. It comes from listening, kindness, and the courage to be yourself. Whether you’re dating, rebuilding confidence, or simply wanting better connections in your love life or in business, this conversation offers timeless lessons that can change how you show up—for dates, relationships, and life itself.

The start of a new year isn’t just about resolutions. It’s about acceleration. In 2026, the heaviness of the last few years begins to lift. The exhaustion, the repeating patterns, and the familiar question of why we keep ending up in the same place are finally giving way to movement and possibility. Astrologically and energetically, we are entering a rare window that supports forward momentum, emotional openness, and new beginnings. In this episode of Shot@Love, Kerry Brett is joined by astrologer and psychic healer Jill Jardine for a deep look at what the planetary shifts of 2026 mean for love, connection, creativity, and personal growth. Jill explains why this year marks the official transition into Aquarian age energy and how the collective move from heavy earth and water influences into lighter air and fire elements creates space for inspiration, innovation, and emotional renewal. Together, Kerry and Jill explore why 2026 is a year of acceleration rather than hesitation. The Year of the Horse arrives with momentum, encouraging people to stop dragging the past into the future and instead align with what is meant for them now. This episode breaks down why January sets the tone for the entire year, why intention-setting early matters more than ever, and how grounding practices help navigate a faster, more dynamic energetic landscape. Jill offers a detailed snapshot of the first quarter of 2026, including the powerful Aquarius activations in January, the intensity of eclipse season and retrogrades in February, and the integration and forward motion that begins to take shape in March. She explains how these shifts may impact relationships, dating, creativity, and emotional readiness, while also offering guidance on how to stay centered during periods of rapid change. This conversation is especially meaningful for anyone who has felt stuck, cautious, or emotionally weighed down in recent years. It offers clarity on how to work with the energy of 2026 rather than resist it, and why love becomes more accessible when timing and readiness finally align. As Kerry and Jill discuss, love is not about perfect circumstances. It is about being prepared when opportunity meets intention. Listeners will walk away with a clearer understanding of why 2026 represents a collective reset, how to approach love and connection with optimism instead of fear, and what it means to move forward without carrying old emotional baggage. This episode is an invitation to trust the momentum, stay grounded, and allow the year ahead to unfold with purpose. Guest Bio:Jill Jardine is a professional Western and Vedic astrologer with more than 35 years of experience. She holds a master’s degree in counseling psychology, is a Sanskrit mantra instructor and yoga teacher, and is the host of the internationally acclaimed podcast Cosmic Scene with Jill Jardine.

Some love stories don’t end with heartbreak — they end with unanswered questions. Ana Walshe was 39. A devoted mother of three.

How Losing Everything Helped Ben Currier Find Himself,” is about what happens when a relationship becomes an escape hatch, a distraction, and ultimately a disaster. But more importantly, it’s about what it takes to rebuild your life from nothing. Ben Currier—Excel genius, host of the top-ranked podcast Failure Guy, and a professor teaching Microsoft—shares a story almost too wild to believe. One minute, he’s running a successful podcast and thriving professionally. The next, he’s in North Hollywood with a black eye, no backpack, no computer, and no support system after moving across the country for a woman he barely knew. This is a conversation about emotional addiction, trauma bonding, and why we chase intensity instead of intimacy. It’s also a conversation about resilience, self-worth, and the work it takes to break the patterns that keep us stuck. We talk about: • Why some relationships feel like “free fall disguised as love.”• How loneliness, avoidance, and low self-worth make us vulnerable to fantasy.• Why jumping into the next relationship never softens the landing.• What happens when you ignore every red flag—because you don’t want to be alone.• The dangerous power of dopamine, impulsivity, and connection during crisis.• How losing everything forced Ben to rebuild from the inside out.• What recovery from love addiction actually looks like.• How he ultimately found healthy love after believing he never would again. Ben opens up about: • Being displaced, isolated, and robbed—twice—within weeks.• The moment he realized he had hit rock bottom… and then below it.• How a year of darkness became the foundation for rebuilding confidence.• The role of friends, therapy, and honest self-reflection in healing.• Why he now thrives in a stable, loving relationship built on respect and clarity. Anyone who has ever chased the wrong love, stayed too long, or ignored the truth because the fantasy felt better will see themselves in this episode. In this powerful episode of Shot@Love, Kerry sits down with longtime friend and Failure Guy podcast host Ben Currier to unpack the wild, painful, and ultimately transformational chapter of his life that began with a single impulsive decision: moving across the country for a woman he barely knew. What followed was a rapid descent—lost belongings, emotional chaos, isolation, and a complete collapse of self-worth. But it became the catalyst for his greatest rebuilding. Together, Kerry and Ben explore why so many of us get addicted to intensity, confuse chaos for connection, and “airbag” from one relationship straight into another to avoid facing ourselves. Ben shares candidly about breaking toxic cycles, surviving rock bottom, rebuilding confidence, and eventually finding healthy love. His story is a testament to resilience, emotional clarity, and the truth that no matter how far you fall, you can rise again—stronger and wiser than before. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Your Last First Date: Author & Hollywood Matchmaker Jaydi Samuels Kuba This week’s episode of Shot At Love pulls back the curtain on Hollywood’s most fascinating matchmaking secrets with Jaydi Samuels Kuba. Inspired by her soon-to-be-released book Your Last First Date, Jaydi shares the patterns, mindsets, blind spots, and tiny shifts that help singles finally find their own Hollywood ending. Jaydi began her career as a television writer with credits ranging from Family Guy to Salem. But after watching talented, successful women in the entertainment industry struggle to form meaningful relationships, she built a couples-curation service that grew into LJ Matchmaking. Today she is a certified dating and relationship coach, a co-host of the podcast Match Made in Hollywood, and one of the industry’s most respected matchmakers. Kerry and Jaydi explore the truth behind finding love in Hollywood or anywhere else: why people stay stuck, how they repeat emotional patterns, and what finally creates lasting change. Jaydi opens up about the early days of her company, the unlikely way she met her husband while setting him up with other women, and the inner shifts that helped her leave a long-term relationship that no longer aligned with her life. Together, they break down why matchmaking matters, why being “findable” is non-negotiable, and how small mindset adjustments can make all the difference. Jaydi shares how she vets clients, screens for compatibility, and guides people toward clarity before chemistry. She explains why great daters still end up in the wrong relationships, how date coaching transforms confidence, and why trusting your own intuition is ultimately your most powerful tool. Jaydi also gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at writing Your Last First Date: how her Hollywood storytelling background shaped the narrative, why she chose to teach through character journeys and real client case studies, and what she hopes readers will take away after they close the final page. If you’ve ever wondered how matchmaking really works, what goes on behind the scenes, or how to stop repeating the same dating patterns, this conversation will shift the way you see yourself, your choices, and your path to love.

Breaking Up with Mr. Better Than Nothing – Why You Need This Episode If you’ve ever dated someone who felt promising enough to stick around even when the red flags were waving… this episode is for you. We break down a real relationship timeline so you can recognize the exact moments things shift from exciting to exhausting — and learn how to pivot sooner next time. Cupid showed up, the texts sparkled, and the chemistry felt easy—until the small tells started stacking up. We share a true dating story that begins with a glittering reconnection and veers into a tour of red flags: venue choices that miss the mark, a harsh snap at strangers that reveals character, grand declarations too early, then silence when it matters. The ride is funny, messy, and painfully familiar to anyone who’s been love-bombed, breadcrumbed, or nudged into the caretaker role before the relationship ever had roots. As we walk through the timeline—from an “epic” wedding meet-cute to an OKCupid rematch, from a chaotic holiday bar scene to a broken arm that flips romance into housework—we unpack how social proof can lower your guard and how mixed signals can chip away at self-worth. You’ll hear the golden rule that never fails in dating: watch how they treat service staff and unexpected guests. You’ll also hear the moment the power shifts back: no more waiting by the phone, a night out that rekindles confidence, and the clarity to name what’s actually happening—a situationship with one driver and no room for your voice. This conversation blends story and strategy so you leave with a practical toolkit: how to spot unintentional daters, how to separate charm from character, and how to protect your time with clean boundaries. We keep it real, we keep it human, and yes, we laugh at the clown car along the way. If you’re tired of “better than nothing,” press play, reclaim your standards, and choose the quieter path of self-respect over the noisy comfort of chaos. You’ll learn: • Why chemistry shouldn’t be confused with compatibility• How social proof and love-bombing can make you ignore your intuition• The subtle behavior clues that reveal character• What breadcrumbing and caretaker-dynamics look like in real time• How to reclaim your power when communication becomes one-way• Boundary scripts to protect your time, energy, and self-worth Connect + Join the CommunityInstagram@kerry_bretthttps://www.instagram.com/kerry_brett@shotatlovepodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/shotatlovepodcast Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/kerrybrett LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kerry-brett Substack – Shot at Love: The Edithttps://shotatlove.substack.com Get the bookShot@Love: A Celebrity Photographer’s Unfiltered Lens on Dating and Finding Lovehttps://www.shotatlovebook.com If this episode resonates with you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a reminder of her standards, and leave a review with your top red-flag rule.

This episode follows a winding road from mantras and angel numbers to a surprising Tinder reunion that reopens old memories and reveals hard truths about trust, red flags, and values. Trust—not trying harder—becomes the real compass in dating, and 222 serves as a reminder to slow down and practice patient awareness.

Tune into Chapter 11, I Surrender; Finding a Path Forward to Love, a favorite for those having a hard time. Heartbreak can feel like quicksand, but there’s a way to stop sinking. I share how surrender—real acceptance, not resignation—becomes a daily practice that steadies the mind, restores self-respect, and turns pain into a teacher. From the serenity prayer to the mantra sarvesham svastir bhavatu, I unpack simple rituals that anchor your nervous system when grief and rumination try to take over. I walk through the five stages of grief in the context of narcissistic dynamics, making space for the messy parts—denial that kept you safe, anger that needs clean outlets, bargaining that blurs reality, depression that asks for gentle structure, and acceptance that finally loosens the knot. With insights from Kute Blackson’s The Magic of Surrender, I flip the script: a relationship can end and still be a success if it helped you grow into a truer version of yourself. That reframe moves you from searching with scarcity to meeting love with grounded presence. Stories power change, so we spotlight courage in action. Tina Turner’s night of escape and reinvention shows how one decisive step can reset a life. Dolly Parton’s publishing stand models boundaries, patience, and long-view faith. These examples prove that small steps compound—blocking a number, archiving old photos, taking a quiet walk instead of doom-scrolling—until momentum returns. We close with practical guidance to drop the bag of bricks, set clear boundaries, and trust that peace is possible when you stop pushing and start showing up as yourself. If this conversation helped you breathe a little easier, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs strength today, and leave a quick review so others can find it. Your story might be the spark someone else is waiting for.

Tune into "No One is Coming" and "No Days Off": Chapter 10. Sometimes the hardest truth can be the start of real momentum: no one is coming, and there are no days off. We open with mantras that sharpen courage and then walk straight into the messy middle—an on-again, off-again relationship, a high-stakes photography assignment with Bill Belichick on Nantucket, and a gutting discovery left open in an email. What follows isn’t a collapse; it’s a choice. With a deadline looming and another shoot with Julian Edelman on deck, we turn heartbreak into horsepower, swap rumination for execution, and let anger refine our focus instead of wrecking it. You’ll hear how patterns take root, why sunk-cost thinking keeps the wrong door open, and how to close it with conviction. We unpack “no days off” as more than a sports slogan—it’s a personal operating system for resilience, discipline, and self-respect. Edelman’s legendary catch becomes a playbook for staying locked in when you’re inches from the ground: eyes on the ball, hands steady, outcome earned. The story moves from betrayal to boundary-setting, from tolerating less to choosing more, and from being benched by pain to calling your own plays. There’s a twist of joy at the end—a right swipe and a match with former Patriots lineman Max Lane—arriving not as a rescue, but as the natural result of raising your standards. Along the way, we share the practical habits that keep you in motion: clear self-talk, tight routines, creative flow under pressure, and the courage to shut a door that keeps hurting you. If you’re navigating dating, rebuilding after a breakup, or pushing for excellence in your craft, this chapter offers tools and a real story to anchor them. If this resonates, tap follow, share it with a friend who needs the reminder, and leave a review with your favorite takeaway. Your support helps more people find the mindset and momentum to win the inches between head and heart.

Tune into Chapter 9 Love's Lunacy: A Journey of Crazy and Stupid Devotion from my book Shot At Love, A Celebrity Photographer's Unfiltered Lens on Dating and Finding Love. What if the moment that saves you starts with a mantra and a punchline? We open on a small-town shoot with Steve Carell and land in the center of a bruising love story—one built on mixed signals, breadcrumbing, and the slow erosion of self. Along the way, a pinwheel, a dance number, and a stubborn fight to keep a scene in a film become unlikely teachers about boundaries, authorship, and choosing what matters when the pressure is on. From there, the curtain lifts on commitment-phobia and the anxious–avoidant dance: the push–pull of intimacy that keeps one partner chasing and the other fleeing. We dig into Mr. Unavailable’s patterns, attachment science, and why intermittent reinforcement is so addictive. The stakes spike when family drama explodes into gaslighting and an uninvited wedding, forcing a reckoning with reality, proof, and the heavy cost of keeping the peace. In the wreckage, a manifesto takes shape—part evidence, part prayer—marking the pivot from explaining to exiting. What follows is a clear, compassionate path out: consequences over speeches, boundaries that hold, and the No Contact Rule as a lifeline back to self-trust. We talk practical recovery—retraining your nervous system, rebuilding routines, and finding meaning in art, music, and community. If you’ve ever felt “crazy” for wanting love to feel safe, this story offers language, tools, and a way through. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review to tell us the one boundary you won’t bend again. We trace a wild arc from a Steve Carell photoshoot and an Aquarius mantra to the hard end of a toxic relationship, unpacking commitment-phobia, gaslighting, and the cost of staying. Boundaries, no-contact, and self-respect turn chaos into clarity. Join the mailing list and find out more about Shot At Love Live events at www.shotatlovebook.com. Follow, rate, and subscribe.

Tune into Homeless on a Harley, Chapter 8, one of my favorite chapters from Shot At Love, A Celebrity Photographer's Unfiltered Lens on Dating and Finding Love. Dating shouldn’t feel like a jailbreak, but sometimes the heart clings to a locked door. We open with a grounding mantra to the divine feminine and roll straight into Randy “Moose” Gomez’s field notes—thirty years as a PI and bail bondsman distilled into one essential truth: listen like a detective and love like a leader. From pandemic-era scams to everyday mixed signals, we unpack how small details reveal big realities, and why your questions are not drama—they’re data. The story winds through a raw Thanksgiving heartbreak, a copper-topped bar in South Boston, and a high school spark named Coyote Cameron who skates in hot and exits even hotter. It’s romantic, funny, and a little brutal: the secret workplace, the “lost phone,” the slow fade that says more than words. Along the way, we map practical checkpoints for modern dating—consistency over charm, transparency over mystery, alignment over adrenaline. You’ll hear how nostalgia can blur judgment, how self-talk can free or trap you, and how to spot the moment when grace becomes self-abandonment. We don’t shame the chemistry; we translate it. When behavior and words don’t match, confusion wins. When someone guards context, believe them. And when your standards rise, your peace follows. If you’ve stayed too long, waited on a text that never came, or ignored a red flag because the weekend felt perfect, this conversation will hand you a steadier compass—rooted in self-respect, active listening, and a PI’s calm eye for patterns. Press play, take what helps, and set your own checkpoints. If this episode gave you clarity or courage, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs the nudge, and leave a quick review so more people can raise their standards with us. We explore how a cowboy PI’s listening skills and a hard left turn in South Boston taught us to trust patterns over promises and choose self-respect over heat. The heart goes fast, but the truth arrives on time when you ask better questions and believe what you hear. When people tell you who they are believe them. Please subscribe, rate, and review.

Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost, Chapter 7 of Shot At Love, A Celebrity Photographer's Unfiltered Lens on Dating and Finding Love. A breakup can make even bright rooms feel dim, and mine turned everything gray—right down to the paint on my walls. I gave 50 shades of gray new meaning. I tried to muscle through with grit and lonely heart playlists, but it took an unexpected intervention from Red Sox legend Tim Wakefield to cut through the noise. Tim’s straight talk about self-respect, resilience, and moving on landed like a perfectly thrown knuckleball: unpredictable, undeniable, and exactly what I needed to hear. The over-under was that this was a very loud wake-up call from Wake, and I had to find self-love at bat. From there, the path bent toward a different kind of ballgame—one of mantras, lineage, and sacred sound. I share how a puja led by a guru's wife reopened the door to Sanskrit practice, and how a medium delivered a message I couldn’t ignore: aham prema doesn’t just invite romantic love; it insists on self-love first. That reminder connected me back to my teacher, Namadeva, and to a daily practice of the —Gayatri before the mic, breath before reaction, compassion before compromise—that steadied the ground beneath my feet. Daily practice of chanting and the discipline of rebuilding standards after heartbreak. Along the way, we honor two legacies that shaped this story—Tim Wakefield’s generosity and caring, and Namadeva’s mastery of mantras—whose dates now echo in my calendar like a quiet blessing. If you’ve ever felt stuck between surrender and survival, this chapter offers tools and testimony: boundaries that hold, mantras that heal, and a practical path to liking yourself enough to choose better.

When Oscar-winner Chris Cooper and his wife Marianne Leone called asking me to photograph him for Cowboys and Indians Magazine, I never imagined this assignment would become my emotional salvation. With a broken foot and an even more broken heart, I dragged myself to Plymouth Plantation, determined to deliver exceptional work despite my personal life crumbling around me.The contrast couldn't have been starker – professionally capturing one of Hollywood's most respected actors while privately enduring the discovery of my boyfriend's infidelity. As I lay on the ground, boot-clad broken foot raised awkwardly in the air, shooting Chris in various Western-inspired poses, I was simultaneously living two realities. One where I was a sought-after photographer whose work would grace newsstands nationwide, and another where I questioned my fundamental worth after betrayal.It was Chris himself who offered unexpected wisdom that day. When I confessed my relationship troubles, lamenting that perhaps I was "too much" – too creative, too successful – for my boyfriend, Chris responded with words that would become my mantra: "Did you ever think the things that make you too much are the things that make you great? Smart men like smart women." This simple truth from a man whose 40-year marriage to brilliant writer Marianne Leone Cooper showed he practiced what he preached became my north star during the darkest period of my life.The universe has a poetic way of delivering messages when we need them most. Standing in an Arizona airport, sobbing after learning my boyfriend at the time had emptied our home while I was away, I looked up to see my Cowboys and Indians cover prominently displayed. It was as if the universe whispered: your work matters, you matter, regardless of who fails to see it. A decade later, Chris, Marianne, and I would collaborate again, winning a 2023 Communicator Award for a podcast episode aptly titled "Staying Together" – proof that sometimes we must endure disappointments to find our way to the collaborations and connections that truly honor our worth.Ready to transform your perspective on love and relationships?

What happens when you swipe right on a contractor who builds homes and hearts with the same dedication? Built to Last: When Love Meets Construction, that's what! Meet Rory Remington, a 47-year-old professional builder from Scituate, Massachusetts—a man as solid as the foundations he lays.During the harshest winter Massachusetts had seen in a century, with record-breaking snowfall burying my world both literally and figuratively, Rory appeared like a beacon of warmth. After plowing Scituate's streets all day, he'd show up at my driveway, engine running, ready to shovel my roof without ever asking to come inside—because he wanted to meet my daughter "when we were official." Here was a man who had given his dream home to his ex-wife so his children wouldn't suffer, while he lived in homes he was rebuilding. A man who, when my card was declined buying painting supplies, arrived early the next morning with everything I needed and painted my entire first floor in a day.Rory checked every box on my "top ten list" of qualities I wanted in a partner. He remembered I disliked roses on my birthday because it fell near Valentine's Day, sending unique flowers with a card saying, "You're all seven on my list." Yet I made the devastating mistake of leaving him when my ex returned, begging for reconciliation—only to discover more lies and deception waiting for me.The painful irony? When pipes burst in my studio and I had nowhere to turn, Rory still showed up, created detailed documentation overnight, secured me exactly the insurance money I needed, and disappeared without even saying goodbye. He didn't need to help, but that's who he was—a man of honor who never let people down.Through heartbreak and regret, I learned that relationships, like houses, require solid foundations. Sometimes the best partners aren't the flashiest or most familiar—they're the ones who show up consistently, tools in hand, ready to build something lasting. Don't wait to recognize quality when you see it; great men don't stay available for long.Ready to transform your perspective on love?

What happens when your world crumbles beneath you? When a broken foot, a broken relationship, and a broken bank account converge at the worst possible moment? This raw, unflinching episode explores the pivotal moment when crisis became a catalyst for profound transformation. After discovering troubling messages on Kerry's boyfriend, Giovanny's phone, a confrontation led to a painful accident—breaking her foot in three places. Rather than support, Giovanny cruelly accused her of deliberately injuring herself to manipulate him, revealing the narcissistic dynamic that had been present all along. Left immobilized during her busiest photography season, with no health insurance and dwindling finances, she reached a devastating crossroads. Drawing strength from unexpected sources—Tina Turner's resilient spirit and financial advisor John Spooner's contrarian wisdom—she discovered that the principles governing smart investing apply equally to recovery from toxic relationships. "In crucial decisions, use your brain first, heart second," became her mantra as she dragged herself on crutches to convert saved coins to cash when her debit card declined for a simple pizza order. This episode beautifully illustrates how rock bottom became the foundation for rebuilding. By approaching her personal crisis with the same strategic thinking Spooner applied to market crashes, she transformed her circumstances—booking $4,000 in photography sessions despite her injury, finding her voice, and eventually creating the award-winning "Shot At Love" podcast to help others escape unhealthy relationships. The most valuable lesson? No matter how broke you are financially or emotionally, you can always bank on yourself. This powerful story reminds us that sometimes the best investment we can make is in our own healing and growth.

A camera captures moments, but sometimes it captures more than you bargained for. When Giovanny Gonzalez strutted into my photography studio in his wing-tip boots and form-fitting t-shirt, I had no idea this headshot session would launch an eight-year romance that mirrored the tumultuous relationship between Johnny Cash and June Carter.The chemistry was immediate and electric. After breaking my own professional rules by agreeing to review his photographs at his place, I found myself mesmerized as Giovanny picked up his guitar and serenaded me with Damien Rice's "The Blower's Daughter, from the movie Closer, where Julia Roberts played a photographer and Jude Law was her subject turned love interest." From that moment, we became inseparable – a creative force feeding off each other's talents and energy. We took Boston by storm, becoming fixtures at upscale restaurants like Stella and The Beehive, training together, and critiquing cuisine like unpaid food critics with insatiable appetites for culture and creativity.When Giovanny confessed he'd given up on his musical dreams, I transformed into his biggest supporter. I became the ringmaster behind the Giovanny Gonzalez Band's branding, handled publicity, arranged photography shoots, and documented every performance. We achieved incredible things together – he sang the national anthem at Fenway Park, performed with the Dropkick Murphys, and accompanied me as I photographed Hollywood's biggest names. But like Jennifer Aniston's character in "Rockstar," I watched as the music industry's temptations began pulling him away. Despite many wonderful years together, I learned firsthand why Johnny Cash's "Walk the Line" resonates with so many – not everyone can maintain that balance when fame, groupies, and late nights beckon. Sometimes love isn't enough, and sometimes the final notes must fade.Have you ever loved someone who couldn't walk the line?

What does it truly mean to find your worth in the midst of life's most challenging moments? Two divorced women with young children—one a Harvard graduate with a penchant for designer clothes, the other a photographer with a dry wit—forge an unlikely friendship that becomes their lifeline while navigating the treacherous waters of rebuilding and dating.Kelley Doyle bursts into Kerry Brett's life like a fashion-forward hurricane, armed with persistent optimism and dating wisdom that initially makes Kerry's "blood boil." With phrases like "enjoy the dance" and "be easy breezy," Kelley teaches her friend that confidence and self-worth matter more than perfect photographs or clever bios when looking for love. Through Sunday ritual dinners at their favorite Mexican restaurant and late-night adventures in Boston's dating scene, they create their own version of family while supporting each other's journey to find love again.The story reveals Kelley's courageous escape from a deteriorating marriage—arriving at her parents' doorstep with three children, a dog, and only forty-two dollars in her checking account. Her father's advice to "make a decision not to make a decision" gives her space to breathe before crafting a new life. Meanwhile, Kerry struggles with her own divorce, feeling like "the aftermath of a failed art project." Together, they discover that fashion can be armor, friendship can be salvation, and sometimes the most powerful act is remembering your own value. From Kelley's battery-operated blinking earrings to bracelets engraved with "If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to it," they find ways to become their own heroines. When Kelley finally reconnects with Walter Whalen at a local bar, her methodical approach to dating pays off in a beautiful wedding and blended family, proving that sometimes, after the storm, you really can see clearly.Ready to transform your approach to finding love?

The path from devastation to rebirth rarely follows a straight line. When my world exploded seventeen years ago, I found myself in the basement of Rock Bottom – fighting a three-year custody battle for my daughter Morgan after a traumatic pregnancy and birth that nearly claimed both our lives. What followed was a financial nightmare of $130,000 in debt, sleeping with the lights on, and making the classic mistake of jumping from one toxic relationship straight into another.With raw vulnerability and unexpected humor, I share how I transformed from a woman with zero self-worth into someone who refused to settle for anything less than authentic love. My journey led me to spiritual practices that became my lifeline – chanting Sanskrit mantras 108 times with a desperation that "gave new meaning to squeezing the beads." When my astrologer taught me "aham prema" (divine love), I finally began finding my way back to myself.As a professional photographer with impaired eyesight, the irony isn't lost on me that my biggest challenge wasn't my vision – it was my inability to see red flags in relationships. I've learned to trust my gut, refuse to stress over inconsistent people, and embrace the Ted Lasso philosophy of believing even when the odds seem impossible. The most powerful revelation? How you perceive yourself directly influences how others treat you.Whether you're struggling through divorce, dating disasters, or simply searching for connection, remember that beauty is an inside job. You don't have to be perfect to be amazing. When someone tells you that you can't do something, do it twice and take pictures!

Have you ever wondered what happens when your greatest pain becomes your deepest purpose? As a professional photographer who's spent decades making others look their best, I've lived a life that many find fascinating—capturing celebrities for magazine covers, attending red carpet events, and building a dream studio in a picturesque town. But behind my lens and successes lay a story of heartbreak so profound that I never imagined sharing it publicly.My journey from heartbreak to healing wasn't straightforward. There were nights spent crying at my computer, trying to find the courage to document experiences I'd hidden for nearly twenty years. Writing this memoir pushed me to my limits, forcing me to confront memories that felt impossible to face. Yet something powerful emerged from this process—a mission larger than myself. What began as personal catharsis evolved into Shot At Love, a podcast and now book dedicated to helping others navigate their own paths to love.The transformation from being a "damsel in distress" to becoming "someone who doesn't need saving" changed everything. I learned that "desperation paves a path to the devil," while self-compassion and small daily steps forward can completely transform your life. Through my darkest moments, I discovered that asking for help is often the hardest part of healing, not the overcoming itself. Now I'm passionate about sharing this message: you're not prey, you need to get "preyed up" so you don't get played. The world remains full of opportunities and love, waiting for you to shift your perspective and embrace them. My book "Shot At Love" is available now on Amazon—don't miss your chance to see love and yourself differently.

Have you ever wondered if everything you thought about finding love might be wrong? Kerry Brett's new book "Shot At Love" challenges conventional dating wisdom and offers a fresh perspective based on years of hard-won experience. From growing up in a working-class Boston family where the Brady Bunch and Mr. Rogers shaped her worldview to becoming a dating expert who's made every mistake so you don't have to, Kerry's journey is both entertaining and enlightening.What started as a desperate search for connection through books, movies, and music evolved into something much more powerful. In 2018, amid social upheaval and personal darkness, Kerry found her calling - helping others avoid the heartbreak she'd experienced. This led to her creating the "Swiping Soiree," a unique blend of education and entertainment she jokingly called her "Tinder Tour." Complete with interpretive dance to Christina Perri's "Jar of Hearts" and entering rooms to the sounds of Aretha Franklin while banging a cowbell, these seminars transformed how middle-aged women approached online dating.When the pandemic hit in 2020, what many had dismissed as "career suicide" - a podcast about online dating - became Kerry's greatest achievement. Through trial, error, and relentless effort, she emerged as a respected dating coach committed to dismantling the stigma around digital connections. The book reveals how fear becomes our biggest enemy in finding love, causing self-sabotage and missed opportunities. But Kerry's message remains hopeful: love can be found anywhere, from Whole Foods to Tinder, and every misstep offers profound lessons that are part of the journey toward meaningful connection.This isn't just Kerry's story - it's an invitation to rewrite your own. Whether you're struggling with online dating, recovering from heartbreak, or simply ready for a new approach to finding love, "Shot At Love" offers both practical guidance and emotional support.

When Tina Zhu Xi Caruso and Pari Kim met on Love on the Spectrum Season 3, viewers worldwide fell in love with their authentic connection. Their story isn't just about finding romance on reality TV—it's about embracing who you truly are, regardless of what others might think. The magic of Tina and Pari's relationship stems from their fearless self-expression. As Pari puts it, "I literally go on the train in a ball gown. I don't care. People could stare and say whatever they want, but it makes me happy." This unapologetic authenticity—Pari with her passion for trains and Tina with her photography and disability advocacy—creates a foundation for genuine connection that many neurotypical daters struggle to achieve. What makes their bond particularly special is their shared understanding of profound loss. Both having experienced the death of a parent, they connect through empathy that might not have existed with other cast members. This shared grief, combined with their neurodivergent perspectives, allows them to relate on a deeper level. As Tina explains, "I feel like, for me at least, and Pari were a perfect match because we understood parent loss." Their remarkable optimism stands out as a defining characteristic. Rather than letting disabilities or challenges define them, they embrace life with enthusiasm and determination. "If we are constantly negative, we'll never get anything done," Pari explains. "I gotta get out there and live my life and do what makes me happy." This resilience—whether it's Pari singing at Harvard Square or Tina advocating for the disability community—teaches us all about finding joy despite obstacles. Want to find your shot at love? Take inspiration from Tina and Pari: be fearless about putting yourself out there, prioritize kindness in all interactions, and focus on the little, meaningful moments that build connection. As Pari wisely notes, "If you spend your whole life worrying about others, you're never going to be happy." This episode was recorded at Kimpton Marlowe Hotel in Cambridge, MA.

A kiss caught on camera, a relationship shattered in seconds. When the infamous "Kiss Cam Cheater" went viral, millions witnessed the raw, unfiltered moment betrayal trauma unfolds—leaving many of us wondering what happens when our deepest fears play out in public. Who better to guide us through this emotional wreckage than someone who's survived her own high-profile betrayal? Dr. Nadine Macaluso, psychotherapist and former wife of the real-life Wolf of Wall Street, joins us to unpack why this moment resonated so deeply with so many people. "Betrayal trauma cracks your soul," she explains. "It's one of the most painful relational experiences we can have on this planet." Through our conversation, Dr. Macaluso reveals the psychology behind betrayal—the emotional dysregulation, cognitive dissonance, and profound loss of trust that follows. We explore how people compartmentalize during affairs, why certain personalities feel entitled to risk everything for a thrill, and the power dynamics that often fuel infidelity. Most importantly, she shares a roadmap for healing whether your heartbreak happens privately or with the world watching. "Trust your gut and get curious," Dr. Macaluso advises. While approximately 70% of relationships don't survive infidelity, about 30% do—especially when the betraying partner can truly acknowledge the pain they've caused without defensiveness. Drawing from both professional expertise and personal experience, she offers hope to anyone feeling shattered: "Healing is a process and it's not linear. It's one step forward, two steps back, and you're worth it." Ready to understand betrayal trauma and begin your healing journey? This episode provides both compassionate insight and practical tools for rebuilding trust—in others and in yourself.

Tune into the first interview Kerry Brett gives on Cosmic Scene with Jill Jardine to discuss the launch of her new book Shot At Love, A Celebrity Photographer's Lens on Dating and Finding Love. The latest best-selling release is a raw, hilarious, and deeply insightful story of the host of Shot At Love; Kerry Brett's journey from heartbreak to happiness will have you laughing, nodding in recognition, and rethinking your approach to finding love. When Kerry Brett found herself at what she calls "the basement of rock bottom" after a painful breakup, she turned to an unexpected source of hope: Tinder. But unlike many who approach dating apps with dread, this award-winning Boston photographer embraced the platform as a creative opportunity. With the same keen eye she used to capture celebrities like David Ortiz and Amy Poehler, Kerry developed a method for identifying potential matches, creating authentic connections, and ultimately finding love. Kerry's story is compelling because of her unique blend of self-deprecating humor, spirituality, and practical wisdom. Each chapter of her newly released book "Shot At Love" begins with a Sanskrit mantra, connecting ancient wisdom to modern dating challenges. From the "German Leo" to the "Irish Leprechaun" and finally to her successful Tinder match, Kerry's dating adventures read like a Boston version of Sex and the City – minus the sex, as she quips, because "she's Irish Catholic, 51, and her parents listen to her show." The most powerful takeaway from our conversation is Kerry's insight that the stories we tell ourselves often become our biggest obstacles. Whether it's believing you're "damaged goods" because of past relationships or thinking no one wants to date a single parent, these internal narratives limit possibilities. As Kerry emphasizes, "Beauty is an inside job" – how you feel about yourself ultimately determines how others perceive and treat you.

Find Success During the Holidays: From Loneliness to Purpose. The holiday season is often painted as a time of joy, connection, and celebration. Yet, for many, it can also be a period of deep loneliness, especially after life-altering events like a breakup, loss, or significant change. The journey from loneliness to purpose during the holidays is one of resilience, reflection, and transformation—a path that can lead to newfound success and fulfillment. A Journey to Overcome Holiday Loneliness Spending the holidays alone can feel overwhelming. Dr. Tricia Rose, a former optometrist turned life coach, knows this all too well. After her divorce, she faced the daunting prospect of navigating Christmas alone. But instead of succumbing to despair, Tricia used this time to turn inward, reflect, and ultimately transform her experience of solitude into one of peace and purpose. Through her blog, "Rose Colored Glasses", Tricia shares actionable strategies to help others in similar situations. She emphasizes the importance of managing expectations and reframing the holidays as just another day, which can empower individuals to approach the season without undue pressure or anxiety. Finding Meaning in Solitude Dr. Tricia Rose and Kerry Brett dive into the nuances of loneliness versus solitude, offering insights on how carving out personal time can be a deliberate, fulfilling choice. For those wrestling with the "inner Grinch," holiday triggers can stir unresolved emotions. Yet, these moments also present opportunities for self-growth and healing.  Find Success During the Holidays: From Loneliness to Purpose. Embracing solitude isn’t about isolation, it’s about finding peace in your own company. Self-compassion, kindness, and small, meaningful interactions can serve as powerful tools to bridge the gap between loneliness and connection. Discovering Purpose Through Giving One of the most effective ways to combat loneliness is by redirecting energy toward meaningful endeavors. Volunteering, engaging in charity work, or giving heartfelt, handmade gifts can create a ripple effect of positivity. Tricia and Kerry emphasize how stepping outside of daily routines and helping others can foster a sense of purpose and community.  Find Success During the Holidays: From Loneliness to Purpose. The simple act of giving, whether it's time, attention, or a carefully chosen gift, can transform your holiday experience. These gestures not only uplift others but also provide a sense of accomplishment and joy that can brighten even the loneliest days. Embracing Self-Care and Gratitude Self-care plays a pivotal role in finding success during the holidays. Indulge in activities that bring you comfort, whether that’s cozying up with a good book, preparing your favorite meal, or exploring a new hobby. Gratitude is another key element; taking time to appreciate the good in your life, no matter how small, can shift your perspective and enhance your overall well-being. Tune In and Transform Your Holiday For more inspiration, tune in to podcasts on platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and NewsBreak, where Dr. Tricia Rose and Kerry Brett share their insights. Follow their journeys on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to discover more ways to find connection and purpose during the holidays.

Instead, embrace your unique journey, transforming loneliness into an opportunity for self-discovery and success. Whether through connection, giving, or self-care, you have the power to create a holiday filled with meaning and joy.  Find Success During the Holidays.

She divorced, changed the portrait of a woman who was always sad, left a dysfunctional relationship, and embarked on a path of self-discovery. In two years, she went on 95 dates. On the 96th date, she met her husband, who encouraged her to become one of the first love coaches twenty years ago. Lisa Shield is a love, dating, and heart-opening ninja with two decades of experience.

Today, we welcome back Flora Ong, the incredible dating coach and founder of Redo Love! And she discusses how to stop responding to low-effort behavior. Engaging in low-effort behavior creates more of the same. It also shows others what we will accept or tolerate. Unfortunately, we avoid cutting off low-effort behavior because we don't want to feel empty or lonely or have to look within ourselves to figure out why we were accepting this kind of behavior from the beginning. Flora shares how understanding yourself and your attachment style is valuable and why once you figure this out– you discover this is something you can control and, in turn, change the outcome. We’ll learn how women give their power away by being easily accessible, readily available, or by responding in a weak moment. And learn how to avoid these traps, understand subconscious manipulations, and why it's human nature to want to keep a connection going but not at the cost of being mistreated. Flora Ong is the founder of Redo Love, a dating and relationship coach, and a matchmaker. She has set up 100’s of matches with an 85% success rate. After a failed 14-year marriage, she joined the millions of online/app daters in her search for love. During this process, she discovered she had no idea how to date, love, and be loved. Flora turned all her blunders into a quest to find her way into love and help others who struggled with similar issues. Her focus is to help others identify their blocks around dating to find the love they want while experiencing peace in the process. If you’ve listened to my most recent episode, “How to Stop Living off a Meme and a Dream," with Flora Ong – you’ll understand why I immediately had to bring her back for part two. Today we’ll discuss handling text messages, learning when to attach and detach and why the right person feels different to your nervous system.Kerry Brett and Flora Ong cover a lot of ground topics, including:How to stop being a lifetime responder or someone who needs to know every little thing or respond to every text?Why you don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t want to be with you.When things end, you shouldn’t focus on the highlight reel; you should focus on the documentary.When you find the right one, you won’t need to write lists of why he’s not calling in your note section on your phone, and you won’t feel confused, anxious, or bad about yourself – you’ll feel happy and at peace.When in doubt, don’t send the text! You can write the text you want to send and take a screenshot so you can remember it the next day but know your power remains in your silence.Always remember you’re the architect of your destiny and in control of your future. Stop focusing on the negative and focus on the things you want to create more of that.Send us a text Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today's topic is how to avoid questions that lead to interrogations. Getting to know someone is one thing but placing a person in the hot seat can be stressful and off-putting. Many ask Q&A-style questions because they need to know, but in the early stages of dating, you're on a need-to-know basis. There's a better way to gain information, and that's by listening! This week's guest will lend his expert ear and share strategies for gathering data. His name is Randy "Moose" Gomez, and he's the "Date Detective" and an experienced PI and Bail Bondsman. We'll learn why to avoid pop quizzes, 20 questions – and one-time-at-band-camp stories. And why it's important to remind yourself this is only a date; you're not a cop on CSI; it's a courtship, not Judge Judy's courtroom. Randy, AKA "Moose" Gomez, the "Date Detective," is a cowboy and a single dad from New Mexico. He's also a trainer for world champion boxers, on the board of directors for PAL Boxing Club, President of Moose Inc., and founder of the "US" charity. Moose worked as a Bail Bondsman, a Recovery Agent, and a Private Investigator for most of his professional life. During that period, Moose learned a lot about people, especially when he bailed someone out of jail. And at that moment, he listened during that car ride home when people often spilled their life stories. He also learned about the power of listening, and in today's world, we are rarely present. A few months ago, I covered how con artists and scammers have doubled online during the pandemic in my episode How to Avoid the Tinder Swindler with the "Date Detective" Randy "Moose" Gomez, and today he's back by popular demand. He'll share strategies around keeping a date, a date not the Spanish Inquisition.Kerry Brett and Randy "Moose" Gomez cover a lot of ground topics, include;Why to avoid interrogation style questions.Instead of directly asking others about their line of work, ask them about their passions. Their passion will tell you a lot about them personally.The value of the art of listening when getting to know someone else.Avoid predetermined questions and keep the conversation fluid.If you're not getting the answers you want – let it go and come back to it at another time.Why we should avoid over-sharing in the beginning of dating.Don't rely on an agenda or a list of questions. If you have a rigid agenda, you'll stick to it, and a date should be fluid.Why the best conversations or interviews are not planned?When people tell you who they are, believe them.Get clear about your what and your why. Why are you on the date, and what are you trying to accomplish?To find out more about Randy “Moose” Gomez and all of his “Date Detective” tips follow on Facebook under Randy Moose Gomez, or on Instagram @randymoosegomez or email him directly at randy-gomez@comcast.net.Send us a text Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

After seeing enough sadness - he started a trash business with the hopes of having a life of freedom and happiness which only made him miserably comfortable. It wasn’t until August 13, 2012 that his world would collide with a dog who was reported to be and killed in New York City by a police officer while protecting her owner – who was homeless. For the first time in Charlie’s life he believed in something he couldn’t see at the corner of 14th and  2nd. Today, Charlie shares his story of love.

And for those who don't find everlasting love, we head to the movies to be reminded that it is possible and does exist. Movies teach humanity and make us feel less alone.

Surviving and thriving through all these experiences wouldn't be possible without their love for each other. I've watched Chris's Academy Award acceptance speech many times to remind myself that true love is real and doesn't only exist in the movies.Chris Cooper is an actor known for his Oscar-winning performance in Adaptation and roles in American Beauty, The Bourne Identity, Seabiscuit, Capote, A Time to Kill, and Breech, to name a few.

Sometimes life throw's so many things at you that it's impossible to handle them on your own, and when you think things can't get any worse, you can catch a break, and an amazing knight in shining armor can ride up on a horse because you swiped right! This week's guest is my oldest friend Kristine Brennan, and her journey and love story are unbelievably inspirational. In this week's episode, Kristine shares tips around online dating and all of the mistakes she made until she finally got it right!Kristine Brennan is a full-time nurse and a divorced mother of three who grew up in a coastal town called Hingham, just outside of Boston. Kristine had no idea she had Lyme disease when she was pregnant with her children until she passed it in utero to her kids. Her oldest, Delaney, has been dealing with debilitating symptoms for most of her childhood. She's spent years on crutches and in a wheelchair and has suffered too many procedures and hospitalizations. Kristine has taken her all over the country, trying to get Delaney well while paying out of pocket as a single mother. These trips for treatments forced Kristine to be on her fourth family medical leave. Lyme disease has deteriorated and weakened Delaney's immune system; she only tolerates her hydration and nutrition through a feeding tube. Delaney's younger brother and sister also have congenital Lyme and are treated by a homeopathic practice in California. Insurance does not cover Lyme Disease, which creates havoc and financial hardship in your life. A Go Fund Me has been established to help the Brennan family, and I will share details later on how to donate. During all of these incredible challenges, Kristine kept going, searching for a cure, and finding love online throughout all of these personal challenges. I'm excited to share Kristine's unbelievable story of love, strength, and resilience!Kerry Brett and Kristine Brennan cover a lot of ground. Topics include;Tips for finding a nice guy online.How to look for what's truly important.How to make shifts within yourself to pull in a great person.Why not prioritizing what you're looking for in a partner is a big mistake.Why bitterness has no place in online dating.Pay attention to the men who write long and caring messages – this is a sign of someone serious about finding a relationship.Kristine's dating advice for busy working parents.How to look for someone who makes your life easier.How to stop caring what other people think. Is he shorter than you? Who cares? Don't have so many rules that look good to others but make you feel bad about yourself.What are the boxes that you're looking to check? How many of those boxes are based solely on looks or on other people's opinions as opposed to what you think you deserve or makes you happy.Please contribute to the Go Fund Me fundraiser on behalf of Delaney's Journey. Kristine and Delaney are traveling for treatments in the hopes that this will finally put an end to the debilitating symptoms that she has been suffering for most of her childhood. All of these costs are out pocket as Lyme Disease is not covered by medical insurance, and Kristine is on her fourth (unpaid) medical leave. I hope that we can ease some of the financial burdens that has been accumulated over the past decade. We appreciate any support you can give – no amount is too small. You can make donations at www.gofundme.com and search Delaney's Journey. And with your help - one day we'll be able to say Delaney is cured by your caring and kindness. The Brennan family thanks you in advance from the bottom of their hearts.Send us a text Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Today's guest is Lori Mendelsohn. She's a dating app profile writer, dating coach, and matchmaker. This week's topic is why you need a dating coach. Lori will break down the difference between a dating coach and a therapist and why there is such a huge difference. Dating coaches help you move into the future, identify your blocks and create a structure to achieve your goal faster. A dating coach gets you relationship ready while helping you break past patterns. Asking our family and friends for dating advice is not the best way to go because often we're asking advice from those who have never been on a dating app, which is why we should ask a professional. Lori shares why it's important to keep an open and curious mind– And like the great coach Ted Lasso said, "Be curious, not judgmental."Lori Mendelsohn is a dating app profile writer, matchmaker, dating coach, and award-winning entrepreneur. She writes unique profiles that help you not only tell your story by adding some swagger, levity, and humor because, after all, laughter is the best Mendelsohn. Lori is excellent at helping you write a dating profile that stops suitors in their tracks. When Lori writes, you find love. In this episode, Kerry Brett and Lori Mendelsohn break down why hiring a dating coach is in your best interest. Topics include;You should be curious, not judgmental, because who's to say what type of person will make you happy. Stay curious; on a date, have a conversation of curiosity-ask the other person where they see themselves in five years? This question will give you a lot of information.Why a dating coach can save you emotional energy and time when navigating these dating sites.Dating coaches have a playbook and identify what skills you need to improve.Setbacks are not failures; it's an opportunity to learn and course-correct once you realize your mistakes.Why hiring a dating coach will help you discover what's not working and help you put a new plan in place.Dating coaches will identify the patterns we need to break, remove blocks, and figure out why you are pulling in the same type of people.How to build off of your strengths and put new strategies in place so you can play to win.An investment in yourself is so worth it because what counts is the inside work you've done on yourself.Why you shouldn't trust the opinions of friends or family and work with a professional.Why blind spots are almost impossible to see when your heart is involved.Look closely at the qualities you want in a partner. Are you focusing on the wrong things, or are you being overly selective?This is not Build a Bear. You aren't assembling a stuffed animal. It's impossible to be all things to all people.Why it's so important to live in the present and enjoy the moment without any expectations.To learn more about Lori Mendelsohn and all of her services, go to www.avconnexions.com or email Lori at hello@avconnexions.com.

Today, we have the MOST special guest—this woman is my HERO, and her books changed my life. Her name is Natalie Lue; she's a podcaster, speaker, artist, and writer of well-known books such as Mr. Unavailable and the Fallback Girl, a book that means so much to me I can basically recite it. Like so many women, Natalie had a litany of problems that included bad boundaries, toxic relationships, and a penchant for emotionally unavailable men. Until everything changed in 2005, when a crippling disease and the breakup from a barely-there guy triggered an awakening, igniting the desire to fight back. She wrote down her experiences and documented her journey, which led to self-publishing five best-selling books and creating Baggage Reclaim, including online courses, over 16,000 blog entries, and a podcast that has helped millions of women become "reclaimers" in over 140 countries. Through it all, her mission remains the same: if she can help even one person avoid what she went through and support others who have struggled with abandonment, rejection, trauma, people-pleasing, emotional unavailability, and feeling "not good enough," she's making the world a better place. Natalie Lue is a thought leader in relationships. Her no-nonsense, compassionate, and humorous take has garnered a following in over 140 countries, and she's been featured in The New York Times, NPR, and the BBC, to name a few. She's the author of Mr. Unavailable and the Fallback Girl, The No Contact Rule, The Dreamer and Fantasy Relationship and Love, Care, Trust & Respect, which has sold 140K+ copies, and her podcast, The Baggage Reclaim Sessions, has over 2 million downloads. Harper Horizon is publishing her next book, The Joy of Saying No, in October 2022. Aside from her self-help blog, Baggage Reclaim, she is also the founder of the kids' lifestyle blog Bambino Goodies. She's based in London with her husband, two daughters, and crazy cockerpoo. She left advertising to become a full-time blogger for the past 13.5 years. She's the former relationship columnist for In The Moment Magazine and has spoken worldwide at numerous conferences. Her current work centers around people-pleasing, boundaries, mindfulness, and creativity. Kerry Brett and Natalie Lue cover a lot of ground. In my opinion, Natalie is a brilliant writer who channeled this epic book and had the unique and perfect skill set to put it all together. If you struggle to date or think something is wrong with you, unworthy or not good enough, this episode will be a game-changer. Topics include:Why Natalie has a knack for calling a spade a spade, tune into why she's always 100 percent right when it comes to problems within relationships.You're not crazy or losing your mind, why it's crazy-making dealing with a "Mr. Unavailable".Why Mr. Unavailable and the Fallback Girl is the the gift that keeps on giving.Why Natalie's books speak to the collective pain women, go through.Why women are socialized and conditioned to get the short end of the stick when it comes to toxic relationships.Why this is not the "Last Chance Saloon" and why we should never settle!What a relationship looks like with a "Mr. Unavailable", spoiler alert it's not pretty and never ends well. EVER!Why "Mr. Unavailable and the Fallback Girl" was survival for me because society doesn't talk about these things or these types of men who cause all this distribution, havoc, and pain.The definition of "Future Faking" – when someone fakes a future to get what they want in the present.What "Fast Forwarding" is and why things start intense and moments later end up in smokes.Why "Mr. Unavailable's" use "blowing hot or cold" to manage down expectations and control the narrative.Follow Natalie on Instagram @natlue or find out more at natalielue.com.

Today's guest is Clémentine Lalande, and she's the founder and CEO of the dating app Once. Back in 2015, along with a friend, Clémentine created the "slow dating" app, which delivers one match a day to each user. The app is the leading dating App in Europe, which has over 10 million users. Once launched, a matching algorithm based on a user's "emotional profile" created by a team of psychologists and dating experts. Once's vision is to create a post-swipe world. Clémentine discusses how she's changing the online dating culture, why we should give The Love Experiment a shot, and why this quality-over-quantity approach is the solution to the oversaturated dating scene.Clémentine Lalande has this vision of a new way of dating firmly in her mind. Once leverages AI algorithms to provide just one match per day to each user. Each pair has 24 hours of each other's attention and can continue chatting if they "like" each other. And this method seems to be more than popular. In early 2021, the Dating Group acquired the company, overall valuing the company at 18 million.Clémentine has over a decade of experience in technology and business development. She's also founded the dating app Pickable, a feminist dating app, which reverses gender power imbalances by requiring only men to create a profile. A few months after its launch, it had two million users. Pickable was awarded by Apple then sold to Once, while she continues to serve as CEO while heading the united company.Kerry Brett and Clémentine Lalande cover a lot of ground and topics include:The recent launch of the Love Connection and why this is beneficial to daters. The Love Connection is the first dating app algorithm created by an all-female team whose goal is to swap endless, image-centric swiping for meaningful connections by offering users just a single, carefully selected match each day. The Love Experiment enlisted the help of French psychoanalyst Fabienne Kramer and British psychologist Dannielle Haig.

This week's guest is Jeff McMahon. He has the most incredible career in the music industry. He was the keyboardist and vocalist for Tim McGraw's band The Dancehall Doctors for 18 years. Jeff wasn't with Tim from the beginning but early enough before Indian Outlaw came out, so let's say once he hired Jeff, Tim's career took off.

A song so special it took on a life of its own, shooting up the charts in record time, breaking a thirty-year record for consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Charts. Jeff also wrote the last chapter for Baseball legend Tug McGraw's autobiography "Ya Gotta Believe." He also ran marathons  for the Tug McGraw Foundation while supporting research for brain tumor patients. Jeff McMahon went to Nashville all by himself; his Dad used to drive two hours to buy records and wouldn't allow him to buy his first keyboard unless they could afford a case. He's a self-taught piano man who became the 2001 Nominee for "Musician of the Year/Keyboardist" by the Academy of Country Music. He's played with Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors for nearly two decades  and played on countless number one singles. He's edited books, and aside from running 6 marathons himself, coached other runners to raise money for charities while working and producing new artists like Ashlyn Grayce, Jim Brown, Nicole Lewis, and Maddye Trew, and Zach Stone.In this episode, Jeff discusses moving forward, hit records, and holding onto your heart.

Today's guest is Caitlin Arner, the owner of Zelda and Friends, a Dog concierge service that's perfect for you and your Dog's lifestyle. In this week's episode, we will discuss the many ways your Dog can boost your love life. Taking your Dog for a stroll increases your chances of meeting others. There is also a new trend in Al Fresco dining called "Yappy Hour." Did you know you could let your Dog play matchmaker by advertising yourself through your pet on sites such as datemypet.com, Leashes and Lovers, and Tindog, which is Tinder for dogs? Hook up for a play date at the dog park or meet up for coffee at a canine-friendly café. Dogs keep you in better shape, lift your mood, and are great at sniffing out suitors. How putting up a photograph of you and your Dog on a dating site will make you look more friendly, approachable, and attractive.

We'll be talking about all things fur babies, puppy love, and how to get a jump on the dog days of summer.After spending too many uninspired years in front of a computer, sitting at a desk, Caitlin had this "crazy" notion that maybe one day she could find a career that would make her happy, give her purpose, and be sustainable long-term. Until one day, a friend wanted to pay her to watch her two new three-month-old puppies. Caitlin had grown up with dogs, adopted her Dog, Zelda but never considered that this could be the absolute perfect path for her life to take. Caitlin had this special bond with dogs, respected them, loved them if they were humans, and believed every Dog deserved the best care. The kind she would want for her Dog, one where dogs are given personal attention in a way they would typically experience at home with their family. Caitlin and I will discuss the reasons why and how people are using dogs to fetch their soulmates. Topics include:Dating with dogs.How getting a dog can solidify a relationship.The Pandemic dog purchase and dog trends during Covid.How a connection in a relationship is built around raising a dog together.How a dog can be a symbol of commitment.How dogs keep you healthy, lower blood pressure, and reduce anxiety.How dogs help combat loneliness and keep you company.Why people stay in a relationship that isn't working for the Dog.When should you introduce a dog into a new relationship?Dogfishing is a new dating term and the practice of using a dog to attract someone.How to avoid getting hooked in by a faux Fido.Research has shown that women flock to men with dogs.How people stereotype based on type of Dog the owner may have.How we select people based on friendliness just like dogs do.Your Dog is the best judge of character and can weed out unkind people who may not be best for you.To find out more about Caitlin Arner and her Dog Concierge Service, go towww.zeldaandfriends.com, or follow on Instagram @zeldanfriends.Send us a text Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week's episode is "Where Do We Go from Here?" with September 11th Survivor and Photographer Mike Casey. It's January 2021, and it's been a LONG month. Many people are just trying to get by and live their lives the best they can. And many have been forced to rebuild their lives. Today's guest is an expert at starting over.In the Summer of 2001, Mike Casey had just landed a top position at the largest advertising firm in New England. And TJX Companies had newly created a position for his beautiful young wife, Neilie.  On September 11th, Neilie was on American Airlines Flight 11 when it was flown into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Mike's life as he knew it…was over. On September 12th, he had no choice but to continue on and take care of their 7-month old baby girl, Riley. Mike explains how he dealt with the loss, picked up the pieces to create a new life, and how he found love again.For the Casey’s, life was better than good. Together, they were on top of the world. Both had great new jobs.  They had a beautiful baby, little Riley.  A new home. They were happy. When Mike found himself at the center of 911, whether he knew it or not, he found a way to navigate this epic tragedy, an event that would change his life forever. He had to rethink life for his daughter and him. In the days following 911, Mike Casey was determined not to be a victim of that day. And instead, he proudly calls himself a survivor. And yes, Mike did find love again.  In 2005, he married WBZ-TV Channel 4 news anchor Lisa Hughes in her home state of Idaho. Lisa adopted Riley.  And, ten years later after 911, Lisa and Mike adopted a newborn baby boy they named Dylan. Mike also changed careers leaving the advertising world for photography. Almost twenty years ago, his life was in shambles, but I can safely say, he in fact did not let 911 define him. Kerry Brett and Mike Casey cover a lot of ground. Topics include;When faced with tragedy or loss rely on three things; faith, family and friends.Find yourself a great therapist and peel back that onion.The importance of good-byes.When overcoming something major lose deadlines or timelines.The importance of moving forward rather than moving on.Why having zero expectations helps when dating.Take things, an hour at a time, 30 minutes at a time, or better yet live moment to moment and do the best you can to stay in the present. Keep leaning on people. Let people in, that is the key, learn to let others in.Give yourself permission to grieve, be afraid, make mistakes. There is no handbook, for surviving a pandemic. We are all trying to figure it out. Allow yourself some grace.When you lose hope or are filled with despair. Remember you’ve got your whole life ahead of you.After, this pandemic, our lives will never be the same, but you will be happy again. For more information on Mike Casey, you can find him at www.caseyphotography.net or follow on Instagram @caseyphoto101. Send us a text Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
