Why is dating in 2025 such a mess? In this raw and relatable episode of Mindfully Moody, host Hannah dives headfirst into the collective frustration around modern dating, inspired by a viral Reddit thread that got everyone talking.
From ghosting and superficial swiping to the emotional toll of constantly putting yourself out there—Hannah shares her own journey of five years of singleness, the embarrassment and hope that come with it, and why she's finally saying goodbye to the dating apps for good.
You’ll hear about:
Why dating apps aren’t working (for anyone)
What men are actually saying about rejection and dating in Austin
How to flirt with life and build real connections in the wild
Practical tips to meet people offline (from pickleball leagues to small compliments at the coffee shop)
Whether you’re single and hopeful, single and exhausted, or just curious about the state of dating today, this one’s for you.
Why Dating Is So Hard in 2025 (And What to Do About It) isn’t just a rant—it’s a call to action. Ditch the apps, open your energy, and start living like love might be around any corner.
