In this episode of Luma & Bloom, Nic, Kate, and Lainey dive into the messy, beautiful, and sometimes exhausting world of modern dating—exploring not just the highs and lows of dating apps, but the deeper patterns that shape how we love and connect.

From navigating red flags versus green flags to questioning the idea of soulmates, they unpack how our past relationships influence our present choices—and how we can approach dating from a place of self-awareness, growth, and empowerment instead of fear.

True to Luma & Bloom’s mission of shedding light on challenging topics, this candid conversation invites listeners to reflect on the pressures we put on love, the lessons we carry from our past, and how we can create relationships that honor our worth and resilience.

Whether you’re single, dating, or in a long-term partnership, this episode will leave you thinking about what it truly means to love—and be loved—today.
