Author and pro bridesmaid Jen Glantz brings her hit newsletter to life in this judgment-free zone for all your real wedding, love, and friendship dilemmas—plus expert advice to help sort it all out.
This episode features powerhouse matchmaker and dating coach Erin Davis, a woman who has done everything in the love industry: going undercover at yoga class, staging run-ins at bars, managing dog custody after breakups, and helping clients rebuild themselves (and sometimes win an ex back) with a full-blown emotional and lifestyle makeover.
Jen and Erin talk through why dating apps are burning everyone out, the science behind chemistry, why “picky” isn’t the problem you think it is, and how to date with intentionality instead of exhaustion.
Then they tackle this week’s dilemma: What should you do when you see your engaged friend flirt heavily, disappear with another guy, and return like nothing happened—while rumors swirl?
Episode Highlights:
• Erin’s most requested services (including undercover gym run-ins and “get your ex back” missions)
• Why commitment is harder than ever in 2025
• How to keep first dates short, fun, and successful
• The psychology of why people cheat—and why they deny it
• How to approach a friend you think crossed a line (without ruining the friendship)
If you’ve ever been stuck between wanting to protect a friend and not wanting to blow up someone’s relationship, this episode gives you the exact roadmap.
