Love Uncensored: The Modern Guide to Dating & Relationships

This week, your host Nicole Colantoni introduces Sunday Dating Scaries. We all know what it feels like when you're swiping on a Sunday and wondering when you might meet your person, or recovering from disco anxiety because you had one too many drinks on your date last night, or obsessing over a new crush that's got you overanalysing your every move. But Nicole is here to remind you that Sundays don't have to feel so scary anymore because regardless of your situation or relationship status, together on Sunday Dating Scaries Nicole will answer any questions you have and workshop any dilemmas you're in. In this episode of Sunday Dating Scaries Nicole responds to questions about whether sex on a first date is acceptable, what to do if your partner hasn't said I love you after 6 months, how long it takes to figure out if your date is a slow burn or a no burn and whether you should reach out to the person who ghosted you after three months of dating.

This week, your host Nicole Colantoni is joined by relationship expert and author of ‘You Only Fall In Love Three Times’ Kate Rose. Together they discuss why we often keep attracting the same type of love into our lives as well as why every relationship in our life has taken place to teach us something that we need to learn about ourselves. Kate also explains what the three different types of love that most of us all experience in one form or another throughout our lives are as well as what the key to finding and recognising the one we’re truly meant to be with is. For those of you who have ever felt like there is something wrong with you because you haven’t found your forever person yet, Kate will challenge your beliefs while also helping you to embody and attract the love you want. Wondering why you haven’t found your person yet? Not sure why it didn’t work out with the person you thought was the love of your life? NOT ANYMORE! Kate’s words of wisdom will help you on your path whether you’re single, in a relationship, or even going through heartbreak.  GUEST LINKS: IG: wordsofkaterose W: wordsofkaterose.comB: https://www.amazon.com.au/Only-Fall-Love-Three-Times/dp/0525542728 SUNDAY DATING SCARIES: Tune in for the debut of the Sunday Dating Scaries airing on the podcast THIS SUNDAY.

Your host, Nicole Colantoni, is back with the launch of season 4. In this SOLO ep, she comes clean with a game changing confession that she’s been dying to tell the Single at Thirty community. Nicole also reflects on her own single life and gets deep about why being single is not something to be ashamed about, and instead embraced to the fullest. For those of you who are single and looking or in a relationship that you’re not sure about, Nicole also shares her advice on why you should never settle, how to own your timeline and drown out any external pressures from friends and family, and why you need to focus less on the search for love and more on loving your own life. Stick around for the end of the ep to hear an update from Nicole on some major changes to the podcast as well as details about the FIRST EVER Single at Thirty in-person event coming to Sydney and Melbourne SOON.

Navigating life, love, and relationships is hard enough as a woman in this day and age. But just take a second and imagine what it would be like having to juggle all of the above at the same time as feeling like you were born into the wrong body. This is exactly what Jeraldine Medina-Allum has gone through and continues to experience because the gender she identifies with does not match the sex that she was assigned at birth. Tune in if ever you have struggled with your identity in any way before, or if ever you've wondered what it's like to be treated like a man compared to a woman, or date a man compared to a woman (as well as who is better in bed according to our special guest).

In the Western world, sex is literally everywhere including the magazines we read, the movies we watch, the music we listen to, and the ads we’re subjected to.  And yet, for many of us, we never learned the basics of sex. On top of this, the stigmas and taboos surrounding female sexuality and pleasure are so pervasive despite major strides to change this. Now, more than ever, we need to promote a dialogue about sex that is inclusive of everyone regardless of their gender, sexual preferences, or orientation. That is why I talk all things sex in the bonus episode with sexologist Chantelle Otten who is actively using her work to change the narrative and remove stigmas surrounding sex.

Ava Chandler-Matthews is the Co-Founder of Ultra Violette Sunscreen which not only launched but sold out in under 24 hours back in 2018 and has since been widely credited with “making sunscreen sexy”.  It is no surprise the brand has taken off considering Ava comes from a long history of working in the beauty industry with some of the biggest brands, both locally and abroad, including Napoleon Perdis, Mecca Cosmetica, and Rationale. It takes a lot to disrupt an entire category and that is exactly what Ava has achieved by creating a new brand of sunscreen with women in mind and dedicated to future-proofing our faces. So, how did she do it? Together in this bonus episode ‘How to Balance It All' we discuss: The expectations and pressures for women working in the beauty industry How to embrace the body you’re in What it's like launching and running your own business How to juggle your love life with a demanding career GUEST LINKS:IG: @avamatthewsIG: @ultravioletteau W: ultraviolette.com.au FIND ME:IG: @Single_at_ThirtyW: singleatthirty.comIf you have an episode idea, DM me on Instagram @single_at_thirty or join the Single at Thirty closed Facebook group to become part of the community where together with other like-minded Modern Women we publicly air the uncomfortable and the unspoken.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alcohol can be a lot of fun. But how do you know when you’ve taken it too far? Or when you’ve become too dependant on it? Or what do you do if you want to give it up but everyone around you still gets drunk each and every weekend? Enter Sober Mates. Sober Mates is not only a community, it’s an educational platform and a place you can go to explore your drinking habits. It was created for people who want to cut down and learn more about their drinking habits without judgment from others. It can seem impossible or even intimidating to be single and sober.

Together in this bonus episode, we discuss: Why drinking and dating are so thoroughly linked What dating sober is like Why Australia has one of the most prominent binge drinking cultures in the world How to navigate social and romantic situations sober GUEST LINKS:W: https://www.sobermates.com.au/IG: https://www.instagram.com/sobermates/IG: https://www.instagram.com/__sammywilson/ FIND ME:IG: @Single_at_ThirtyW: singleatthirty.com If you have an episode idea, DM me on Instagram @single_at_thirty or join the Single at Thirty closed Facebook group to become part of the community where together with other like-minded Modern Women we publicly air the uncomfortable and the unspoken.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
