In today’s episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Logan Ury—behavioral scientist, dating coach, and author of How to Not Die Alone. We dive deep into the messy and sometimes painfully confusing world of modern dating. From the myths that keep us single to the science-backed truths about real lasting connection, Logan shares tons of actionable advice.

We chat about how vulnerability and timing play crucial roles in finding a great match, why dating apps feel so overwhelming, what people think they want versus what actually leads to a long-term partnership, her “Three Dating Tendencies” framework, and how to stop self-sabotaging when it comes to finding your forever person. Whether you’re single and swiping, newly partnered, or just relationship-curious, this conversation is packed with insights that will totally reframe how you approach dating, relationships, and yourself.

We will also be discussing the romantic comedy movie that just came out: The Materialist. If you don’t want to hear spoilers about the movie’s ending, stop listening when Liz gives a heads-up—around 44:40 on Spotify video or after the second ad break on Apple audio—and come back after you’ve seen it to hear Liz's and Logan’s different hot takes!
