Signaling

I want to tell you about something men do every single day without realizing it, and it's costing them.

You know the type. Angry on threads. Furious that nothing's working. Convinced women want a man who's six feet tall, has a six-pack, and pulls six figures. Blaming everyone but the signal he's actually sending.

He's not unlucky. He's broadcasting.

In this episode I get into:

Why every male in the animal kingdom has been signaling since the beginning of time, and why men are no different

The story men tell themselves about what women want, and why it's wrong

What you're actually broadcasting when you're angry online instead of building something

The real order of what matters: kindness first, not last

The "who pays" debate, and what it reveals about both of you

I dated for forty-one years before I got any of this right myself, so believe me, I've seen every version of this signal, sent and missed.

Sharon Jenkins found me through ChatGPT of all things, reached out cold, and has been one of my favorite people ever since. She's back on the show today, and she's bringing an invitation.

She's turning 70 this year, and she'll tell you so without flinching. She'll also tell you exactly why that's the point.

Sharon has built a singles conference called Love On Purpose, October 9th and 10th in Houston, and I'm one of the speakers. What she's after isn't a room full of people hoping to bump into someone. It's something she calls being properly postured, and if you've ever bristled at the word "pursuit," her distinction is worth hearing.

In this conversation we get into:

Why so many of us give up on love without ever deciding to, and what Sharon means when she says make hope alive again

The difference between pursuing and positioning, which lets you off a hook you may not have known you were on

What I'll be teaching in Houston, and why my Dating Safely program looks different this year

The two objections I hear more than any others from women over 50, and the question I'd like you to ask about both of them

What actually happens over the weekend, including the exercise where somebody who loves you stands up and tells a room why you're a catch

And Sharon's guarantee, which is bolder than most people would dare to make

Also a conversation about what it costs to invest in love, and the number nobody adds up: what it costs to do nothing at all.

Love On Purpose is October 9th and 10th, 2026, in Houston, Texas. Find everything at loveonpurpose.fun

The Man Goggles

I want to tell you about a pair of glasses you might be wearing without realizing it.

You know the scan. Walking into any room and running the assessment. Checking his left hand before you've checked his face. Deciding whether the hardware store was a good idea after all.

You're conducting surveillance.

In this episode I get into:

Why you started doing this in the first place, and why it isn't your fault

The difference between being open and being on duty, which is a much bigger difference than it sounds

What it does to your energy when you never get to clock out.

I dated for forty-one years before I married for the first time at fifty-eight, so believe me, I wore those glasses.

This week I get a little aggressive with well-meaning but very wrong people advising you that dating (and love) is just a dating game. That couldn't be more wrong.

If you date badly once, you are likely dating badly all the time.

You don't mean to! I'm not blaming you. It's the current dating culture that has everything wrong and no one told you what the problem could be.

Listen to this episode and share it with a friend who is just as confused and single as you are.

Are you ever confused with a date's behavior and wonder if it's worth continuing? Here's a hint: if you're confused by it, chances are you're better off not seeing him again.

Here's a list of some of my favorite green flags, yellow flags (questionable) and red flags.

I hope to see you in Simply Irresistible soon!

The final episode of the marathon, and I'm not pulling punches. I'm naming the stories we tell ourselves about why love hasn't happened, and gently taking every one of them apart.

You know the lies, because you've probably told yourself a few:

The men are all bad. Too old, ship sailed. All the good ones are taken, married, gay, or gone. There are just no good ones in my town.

Diane has an answer for each, including some Dallas-Fort Worth math that demolishes the "no good men where I live" excuse. But the real moment in this episode is the question I asks near the end: why are you so committed to being right about this?

Because here's the thing I've discovered after dating from 16 to 58: your brain is an order-taker. Keep telling it the good ones don't exist, and it will happily go find you more proof. There's a better thing to be right about, and that's where the gold is.

This is the last of the twelve. If any of them shifted something for you, I would love to hear it.

Enrollment for the founding cohort of Simply Irresistible closes Monday, July 13 at midnight, and the cohort begins Tuesday. Ready to stop clinging to the story and start finding the love?

I've been inviting you to book a Love Audit all week, so today I'm telling you exactly what one is, and what it isn't.

A Love Audit is a conversation between you and me to see whether you're a good fit for Simply Irresistible, and whether it's a good fit for you. And let me be honest about my heart here: I would love to have you in. But I won't put you in a program that isn't right for you, because three months of deep work you secretly hate helps no one. So we talk first.

Here's what a Love Audit is not. It isn't a session to vent about men, and it isn't free coaching on everything else going on in your life. It's a genuine, warm conversation about fit, because the work inside Simply Irresistible is real, sometimes deep, and occasionally a little tender, and I want us both walking in clear-eyed.

In this episode I also get into:

The difference between the small-t trauma I work with, the old beliefs you may not even realize you're still carrying from childhood, and the big-T trauma that belongs with a trauma-informed therapist first. I know exactly where my lane is.

The two things we actually do inside the program: settle your nervous system, and teach you real tactics, like reading green flags and red flags and handling the moments that used to trip you up.

Why I call myself a dating transformation coach, and why you won't just be hanging out in here.

We start Tuesday, and enrollment closes Monday, July 13 at midnight. If you want in, let's talk first. Book your Love Audit at dianebrandonmoody.com/love-audit. Already sure? Email me and I'll send you the link to join.

If you've heard me mention Simply Irresistible all week and wondered what it actually is, this is the episode that lays it out.

I built it, first, for myself. For the woman I was before 2018, the one who wanted love so badly, who was tired of being asked "why are you still single," who kept opening my heart and kept watching it not work out. What changed everything wasn't another dating tip. It was learning to metabolize the anger and grief she'd been carrying, and becoming magnetic on the other side of it. She built this so no other woman has to figure that out alone.

In this episode, I'm honest about who it's for and who it isn't:

If you're genuinely happy on your own, free, content, not aching for a partner, I'll tell you straight: this may not be for you, and that's okay.

But if you're quietly scared you'll leave this life without a partner to laugh with in the dark, without someone to lean on when you're sick or scared, this is for you.

I also walks through what changed since last year's beta: the program is now a full year for one price, twelve weeks of lessons plus nine more months of weekly coaching and community, real nervous system work alongside practical dating tactics, a Slack channel where I actually answers you, and a goal that might surprise you, teaching you to think for yourself so you don't need her forever.

One honest note I make clear: I am not a trauma therapist, and I'll tell you kindly where her lane begins and ends.

Enrollment for the founding cohort closes Monday, July 13 at midnight, and the cohort begins Tuesday. If this is you, join here: dianebrandonmoody.com/love-audit. Please note that in the recording I said it closes on Tuesday, but it really closes Monday.
