Damona Brings Dating Realness to Access Daily

When Damona joined Kit Hoover and Scott Evans on Access Daily, things got real—fast. From the moment she dropped the price tag on matchmaking, jaws hit the floor. But the real takeaway?

She walked through how outdated dating lists, wishful thinking (aka “hopium”), and ghosting culture are keeping people stuck—and how small shifts in clarity and intention can unlock totally new results. Whether it’s how to introduce your kids to someone new or why Gen Z is avoiding one-on-one dates, Damona gave every viewer something to think about—and something to laugh at. As always, she brought the honesty, strategy, and heart that’s made her a trusted voice in modern dating.
