This episode is personal, because it has to be. But what I really learned in 2025 isn’t just about me. It’s about what happens to people when the world changes faster than our values, our nervous systems, and our expectations can keep up. These eight things are my experience in 2025 but they’re also reflections of the moment we’re all living in.

8 Things I Learned in 2025

What happens when you go from burned out on dating to happily married? In this episode of the Love U Podcast, I catch up with Shivani, a former Love U client with a PhD in computer science who once believed there were no good men left. We talk about how she overcame cultural pressures, rejection, and her own limiting beliefs to find a husband. If you’ve ever felt like giving up on love, this story will inspire you to keep going.

Shivani’s Love U Love Story

This week, I coach Michelle, an independent woman in her early 50s who keeps committing too quickly before discovering the guy isn’t a long-term fit. Together, we break down why early chemistry can blind you, and how dating like a CEO changes everything. If you’ve been treating men like your boyfriend before he’s earned the right to that title, this episode will reset how you date forever.
