Online Dating Can Be a Mess—But It Doesn’t Have to Be

This week on What Excites Us, I’m joined by the fabulous Tonya Holliday, host of the Swipe Left (or Right) podcast, where modern dating meets hilarious honesty. We talk about how her show was born from her own wild online dating experiences—and she brings the same juicy, real-talk energy to this episode.

We get into the gritty and the gorgeous parts of dating apps, including:

💥 How to create an online dating profile that actually works 💥 The truth about “first contact” and meeting in person 💥 Why coffee dates are the MVP of first dates 💥 Setting boundaries and staying safe without killing the vibe 💥 Dating fatigue, green flags, and surviving ghosting with grace (or rage)

Whether you’re swiping left, right, or just deleting the apps again, this episode is full of relatable laughs and seriously helpful tips.

🎧 Subscribe to Swipe Left (or Right) wherever you get your podcasts. 🖤 And if you enjoy What Excites Us, please rate, review, and subscribe—it really helps others find the show!
