Summary

As we approach the new year, we're bringing you a special series: the 8 days of dating optimism, where we air the top episodes that restored our hope and confidence in finding our person. We're back for Day #7 with one of our favorite past guests, author & intuitive Nikki Novo, who breaks down how to tap into your intuition so you can build trust, courage, and clarity as you date. We get into how to strengthen your instincts when dating, how to tell the difference between gut feelings and fear spirals, and what it looks like to relinquish control while still staying in charge of your choices. If you’ve ever wished you could trust yourself more—or felt torn between your heart, your head, and the pressure to make the “right” decision—this episode is your reminder that the clearest answers often come from within.
