Does dating have to send you into a daze of checking your phone again and again, ruminating over whether you said the right thing, and reading dating advice on the internet? According to the two experts we speak to on this week's episode — Kathleen Smith, a writer and therapist out of Washington DC and Mark Freeman, Youtube mental health advocate, coach, and author of You Are Not A Rock — no, it doesn't. Join Jada and her guest, Bustle Sex & Relationships Editor Michelle Toglia to feel less alone in your post-date anxiety, to learn some new coping strategies, and to occupy your phone with a podcast instead of a dating app for approximately 40 minutes (nevermind that you can do both, shhh....).
To learn more about Kathleen Smith, follow her on Twitter, visit her website, and explore her writing. And while you're at it, sign up for her anxiety newsletter.
And visit Mark's Youtube channel (be careful not to find yourself on a dirt bike channel), check out his website along with all of his coaching services, and of course, check out his book You Are Not A Rock wherever books are sold.
