24: Heartbreaks & Hot Takes: The Season Finale!

It’s the season finale of Dating Yapps, and I’m going out with a bang—naturally! In this episode, my beautiful friend Amanda is back for a juicy, reflective, and laughter-filled wrap-up of the season. We’re interviewing each other and talking all things dating and relationships: divorce, healing, friendship, and even dipping a toe (or two) into the world of non-monogamy. We get real about what it’s like to be single and thriving in your 40s, the power of good communication, and how sex and intimacy don’t have to be taboo—especially when you’ve got the right people around you. From the highs to the heartbreaks, we’re celebrating the wild, messy, magical ride of modern love. 💫 Follow us on Instagram ⁠@dating.yapps⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/dating.yapps?igsh=MXIza3hkY3A1NjgxYQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr] Submit a ⁠dating story here⁠ [https://forms.gle/KKxoQdcJrU5SBGeG7] Got a dating question you want answered anonymously on the pod? ⁠Submit it here⁠ [https://forms.gle/MkVh2woTKUASMRoC7] Email me datingyappspodcast@gmail.com [datingyappspodcast@gmail.com]

22: Why I’m Choosing A Child-Free Life

In this episode, I’m getting personal and talking all about my decision to be child-free by choice. It’s something that took a lot of reflection, honesty, and unlearning, and I’m sharing how I got there—from thinking I’d definitely have kids one day to realizing… maybe that’s just not for me. I talk about the ups, the downs, the guilt, the freedom, and how eldest daughter syndrome definitely played a role. I also get into what it means to live a full, joyful life on your own terms—and why millennials are out here redefining what family and fulfillment look like. Whether you’re on the fence, firmly child-free, or just curious, this one’s for you.
