“Dating Done Right”

“So here I am writing a review at 6 in the morning after binge listening it helped me so much with my new relationship I am expressing myself and communicating better I love the guest who comes and give their valuable info in this channel it’s just perfect”

“Like a wiser best friend”

“Damona’s advice feels like talking to a wiser best friend who sees beyond the mushy feelings to the real stuff you’re too blinded by oxytocin to see. Like how he’s not calling/texting you back after the first date and that you deserve someone who’s just as excited about you, because you’re worth it! Love her show and her IG ask a matchmaker Wednesday.”

“Great tools and tips to learn from plus she’s funny”

“Has the current tea on all things related to dating and relationships. Great tips for those who are single and not. Interesting POV’s from Astrologers, other dating coaches and website algorithm subject matter experts. She gives inspiration on dating on special times like this (current epidemic times) and her other articles to read on are great. Thank you Damona for keeping this podcast going with current and relevant issues.”
