The Emma Guns Show
Hayley Quinn | Top tips for Dating in a Digital Age.
Ep. 185
โข
Hayley Quinn is a dating and confidence coach who joins me on the podcast to share her expertise on dating, making connections and knowing what you want from and in a relationship.
Hayley is one of the UKโs leading dating coaches and her story of how she came to be one of the leading, and most trusted, authorities on dating, for both men and women, has a slightly unusual beginning. But it was this perspective, the origins of which she shares during our conversation, that allowed her to create her own unique insights, courses and workshops that have helped people in how they approach their own dating life.
In this conversation, Hayley and I discuss:
- Whether there really is a โpower playโ at work when youโre in the dating โgameโ.
- The rules of dating and whether they actually exist or not.
- How to turn text chemistry into a real connection in person (when and where lockdown restrictions allow)
- How to express yourself authentically.
- The dangers of getting hooked on the idea of someone, but why itโs such an easy trap to fall into.
- The value in getting to know yourself before dating.
- Why rejection is a vital part of dating and why itโs vital to learn how to handle it.
- The many and varied, and quite unhelpful, dating โtruismsโ out there.
- Dating after separation, divorce or after the breakdown of a long-term relationship.
- How to communicate what your needs are, and so much moreโฆ

Joining a Gym, Tittle-Tattle & Wild Swimming

After training with my friend and coach, Emma Storey-Gordon of The EC Method fame, I decided it was time to hit 'diesel mode' and join a gym. I've achieved LOADS with dumbbells in my living room, but to really see and feel those gains, I felt it was time to get to the gym, use the machines and start lifting more with a wider selection of weights. Who's with me?!๐น I knew discussing diet, fitness and weight loss would invite criticism and nastiness but this episode marks the last time we'll talk about it. From now on, it's block, delete and move on.๐๐ฝ I went on the most incredible trip with OSKIA last week and, among other things, went wild swimming, which was an absolute revelation.๐ In this video I'm wearing:Mango off-the-shoulder t-shirt.*contains affiliate links.๐ง Contact me:office@emmaguns.com๐ Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:๐ฑ https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/Trolls, Defending Jeremy Clarkson and How to Look Online.
25:38|This episode is brought to you by a migraine. If it feels all over the place, it's because I'm all over the place today thanks to a humdinger of a migraine that's left me feeling like a slightly lopsided, cloth-tongued, weepy-eyed wimp.With that said, there are things to discuss. Such as the reaction to my weight loss, why I want to defend Jeremy Clarkson and why being slightly 'perfect' online gets more engagement. From the woman who this afternoon posted a 'fashion' reel on Instagram with smudged eye makeup and her glasses on because of aforementioned migraine.Anyway, let me know your thoughts on all of this, whether it's on email office@emmaguns.com, on Instagram @emmaguns or over on my Substack.I need help.

Apparently... | The Emma Guns Show๐ So, this week was a gain when it came to my weigh-in but we're so close to the end and this really is the last bit to lose so I need to re-focus and get through this gain/plateau I'm on.

I had to ask myself this when I realised I was back at my Weight Watchers goal weight from 2010. Will it feel different this time around knowing that my weight won't immediately start to creep up again and because the journey has been far more than weight loss and more about personal discovery and feeling good?๐ฐ Though it might seem like I'm being unhelpful, this is why I never tell people what weights I'm using when I work out...๐ In this video I'm wearing:Arket T-shirt.*contains affiliate links.๐ง Contact me:office@emmaguns.com๐ Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: https://emmaguns.substack.com/Follow me:๐ฑ https://www.instagram.com/emmaguns/I Can't Believe I'm Telling You This!

Your emails and messages are so helpful and really do help me create the podcast, so thank you to everyone who took the time. Letโs kick off with an update on my Weight Loss Effort and how it feels now weโre over two and a half months into consistent strength training, high protein/low fat dieting and intermittent fasting.๐ I have a dirty little secret about how I got my colours done, but Iโm only telling you and Iโm only saying it hereโฆ๐ฐ Finally, Iโve noticed a shift in tone in the conversation around Ozempic recently. Have you noticed it to? Is it the easy way out and is it a way to lose weight that doesnโt involve consistency, dieting and regular exercise?๐ In this video I'm wearing:Mango Round-Neck T-Shirt in Brown.*contains affiliate links.๐ง Contact me:office@emmaguns.com๐ Read me:Subscribe to my Substack: The Emma Guns ShowJournalist, podcaster and content creator specialising in beauty, health and lifestyle who has absolutely no time for woo-woo, nonsense or marketing spin.

But seeing as someone on social media - faceless account, of course! - has accused me of having a restrictive eating disorder, let's talk about it. For the record, I honestly can't see how making careful and conscious nutrition and training choices to increase muscle mass could be seen as resembling anything close to something restrictive.
