*Special Announcement* Dear Shandy will be moderating Amy's Book Launch Event in NYC on May 5th, 2026! For more info visit: https://luma.com/unsingle It's not every day we bring back a Hot Topic guest, but when Amy Chan writes a new book, YOU BRING HER BACK. Dubbed the “scientific Carrie Bradshaw” by The Observer, Amy is a relationship expert, author, and founder of Renew Breakup Bootcamp and Dating Bootcamp, retreats that apply a scientific, psychological approach to healing heartbreak and rewiring dating patterns. It has been 4.5 years since we first had Amy on, and now with her new book, "Unsingle: How to Date Smarter and Create Love That Lasts" (April 28, 2026), she shares the science of rewiring your brain to actually find success in your love life. Today Amy chats your unconscious patterns, how being otherwise "high-achieving" is working against you, and at what leg in the "Dating Funnel" you're getting stuck. We promise you'll never see dating the same way again after hearing Amy's insights. Watch on to get "Unsingle"!

It's Q&A time! We're back, answering YOUR burning questions! If you love your husband but find his career boring AF, should you feign interest to spare his feelings, or be 100% honest about your disinterest? Is it acceptable to become close friends with your best friend's partner, even if your best friend doesn't approve? Has Shandy ever dated anyone who brought out the worst in them, and what are their thoughts on "breadcrumbing" in dating? Finally, if your date regularly brings you the ugliest flowers you've ever seen, does that speak to a deeper compatibility and "taste" issue? Come join us in our living room for good conversation and the Shandy take! Interested in getting the Shandy take but don't want to appear on the podcast?
