Comedian and podcast host Eric Neumann [https://www.instagram.com/imericneumann/] joins us for a candid conversation on the realities of modern dating. In this episode, we unpack the dynamics between men and women, the challenges of navigating honesty in relationships, and why rejection—while uncomfortable—can actually teach us more about ourselves. We also talk about what it means to build authentic connections in a world of swipes, highlight reels, and online noise, and unpack the hottest controversy on my TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@everydayendorphins/video/7546160908481875230] - should men approach women? If so, how?

EP #168: Reflections on Modern Dating: Honesty, Rejection, and How to Find Authentic Connection with Eric Neumann, Comedian and Podcast Host

5 year anniversary episode!

In honor of launching the Everyday Endorphins podcast five years ago, I wanted to sit down and reintroduce myself, share some of my greatest learnings about building in the public eye through creative self-expression, and offer some of my best advice on how to find greater joy in life.

From a rowing blog [https://www.instagram.com/p/7iUETbuSN4/] in 2014, to launching the podcast in 2020 [https://www.instagram.com/p/CFpb6eMlrrO/], and hosting over 15+ events with brands like Alo, Juice Press, Project Healthy Minds, and more, Everyday Endorphins has evolved beyond what I could've ever imaged.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me, and I can't wait for all that's to come!
