America’s Favorite Dating Expert, Bela Gandhi, on the Hottest Topics in Dating After Divorce on The Divorce and Beyond Podcast #310

America’s Favorite Dating Expert, Bela Gandi, returns to the podcast this week! Susan Guthrie welcomes Bela as she shares the three hottest topics in dating right now! 

This podcast episode gives listeners a refreshing take on today’s latest dating dynamics - from dating #beigeflags to video dating and everything in between. Bela offers an encouraging perspective about how to approach love with an open heart (and mind), value your time, and prioritize genuine connections over superficial victories.

Bela Gandhi is the founder of Smart Dating Academy and is a nationally acclaimed dating and relationship expert.  You’ve seen her on Good Morning America, TODAY, Kelly Clarkson, Steve Harvey, and many more news and media outlets. She has a viral TEDx about love and elevator people. Once you watch it, you will know that Bela is the very best of elevator people. She has been a guest with us many times before, and we’re thrilled that she’s here with us again today to talk all about hot topics in dating. 

Topics and Golden Nuggets include:

• Bela explains beige flags and addresses whether or not a beige flag can turn into a red flag
• Keep an open mind and cast your net out wide, “Love always comes in an unexpected package.”
• Why Bela says “butterflies” aren’t typically a good thing in dating. 
• Back to school, back to love?
• Go on a video date first because your time is your most precious commodity.  Video dating is an amazing pre-qualifier!
• Practice being grateful and gracious when a matchmaking setup is not a fit
• The Barbie movie, The Ken Effect, and dating
• “We’re not a date to win. We’re on a date to connect.”

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:  

SOBERLINK

Thriving in divorce and beyond means not having to worry about the safety of your children when it comes to co-parenting. With alcohol abuse on the rise, many co-parents are turning to the system committed to providing proof, protection, and peace of mind. Soberlink’s alcohol monitoring system is the most convenient, reliable, and reasonable way for a parent to provide evidence that they are not drinking during parenting time.

Soberlink’s real-time alerts, facial recognition, and tamper detection ensure the integrity of each test, so you can be confident your kids are with a sober parent. With Soberlink, judges rest assured that your child is safe, attorneys get court-admissible evidence of sobriety, and both parents have empowerment and peace of mind. 

Pull back the curtain on the mysteries of parenting time and trust The Experts in Remote Alcohol Monitoring Technology™ to keep you informed and your kids safe and secure. To download the addiction and children resource page that I developed with Soberlink, visit www.Soberlink.com/Susan
