  • Mel is so knowledgeable

    Really enjoyed the ep with just Mel and Elizabeth. It was great to get proper advice from Mel without it just being a group chat with guests.

  • Not recommended

    I would really NOT recommend this podcast to anyone who is actually dating in their late 30s. I found it quite upsetting and damaging to the progress I’ve made since a big breakup last year. The message I’ve got so far is that being ‘date ready’ means being entirely healed and whole and over any previous relationships, with flawless resilience and no baggage….

  • Good but…

    …love this so far but please consider the hypocrisy and irony of the adverts you choose - have just listened to your first episode talk about importance of being alone and not falling prey to societal pressures, whilst being punctuated with a commercial advert about Valentine’s Day haha - not ideal!!
