What if the secret to dating after divorce isn’t who you meet… but who you are when you’re with them?
In this episode, I’m joined by dating coach Erika Ettin, founder of A Little Nudge. Since 2011 she has been helping people navigate online dating from the very first click to the first date, with her work featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, and CBS.
Together we explore how to date like a force after divorce. We dig into the most important question to ask yourself: “Do I like me when I’m with them?” Erika shares simple wins you can try right away, how to recognize the red flags in your own patterns that might be holding you back, and what’s really happening with today’s dating trends. She also answers the big question about dating apps — are they on their way out? 👀
And be sure to listen through to the end of the episode, where you’ll hear the very first listener share their own “I’m a force after divorce” story.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
