Summary
In this episode, I’m joined by Dana Joy, host of Not That Deep, to talk about sober dating, letting go of pressure, and why modern dating doesn’t have to be so complicated. Dana shares how stopping drinking changed the way she approaches dating, why coffee and walk dates feel more intentional, and how shifting to an "it's not that deep" mindset helped her stop overthinking every interaction. We also talk about dating without apps, saying yes to more opportunities, and learning to prioritize connection over perfection.
