#342: This week, we’re bringing back one of our favorite conversations from February 2024 with writer, content creator, and author Eli Rallo. Known for her refreshingly candid takes on dating, relationships, sex, and self-worth, Eli joined Josie following the release of her first book, I Didn’t Know I Needed This. Josie and Eli get into the dating advice that actually matters: why rejection can be a gift, how to stop putting so much pressure on finding “the one,” and why building a life you genuinely love might be the best thing you can do for your love life. Eli also shares how to flirt without overthinking it, the mindset shift that makes first dates way less intimidating, how to recognize when a relationship isn’t right for you, and why you have to be willing to break your own heart sometimes. Plus, the “F me sweater,” why a first date can really only end in a second date or a good story, and the relationship advice that still hits just as hard today. Whether you’re single, dating, in a LTR or simply working on your relationship with yourself, this episode is full of reminders you probably didn’t know you needed.For Detailed Show Notes visit theeverygirlpodcast.com

#337: You finish work with every intention of working out, cooking dinner, calling a friend, reading your book, or finally getting back to that hobby you love.

Josie breaks down how to stop accidentally giving away the hours after work, without turning your evenings into another productivity routine.
