Heartsprained

Mich and Nadine welcome author and journalist Jenna Birch to the show to discuss her book The Love Gap: A Radical Plan to Win in Life and Love. She shares her concept of the "love gap," which explains why men say they want one thing (a smart, successful woman), but go for another; the truth behind the theory that for men it's the right time, but for women it's the right guy; why you think you had a great connection with someone but they ghost you; how to date smarter and filter through the BS to find a good match; what goes through men's minds when they won't commit to a great girl; trusting your gut vs. self-sabotaging; the psychological theory that ties into both timing and finding the perfect mate; dating app burnout and the secret to app happiness; why it's okay to be on the backburner (sometimes); "curving," this week's millennial dating term; Jenna shares some Breakup Breakdown wisdom of her own.
