Friends with benefits rarely stay casual

In this episode, K+L sit down with Ben Hart, dating coach + content creator, whose fresh perspective on dating has taken TikTok by storm. Ben shares how to navigate today’s swipe-heavy world with confidence—and feel empowered in the early stages of any relationship.

Ahead, you’ll hear why “if he wanted to, he would” isn’t the whole story, how to embrace your divine feminine energy in dating, and what’s really holding high-vibe singles back from open-hearted relationships. Plus, bust your dating anxiety + learn the spiritual nuances of flirting. 

Krista + Lindsey spill real-life dating stories, and Ben challenges our beliefs on commitment, masculinity, and why communication is the ultimate spiritual practice in romance. If you’re ready for some tough love and practical tools to uplevel your dating game, this one’s for you!
