Dating is a process. It has ups and downs and often comes with lots of disappointment. This week’s episode will help you make the shift from seeing your goal as “unlikely” to “inevitable” so you can keep going even when there is no hope in sight.

This week we’re fixing a common misconception: the idea that we should all want to be happy 100% of the time. Even if this were possible, I would never want this for you.

Tune in to hear what I think is even better than being happy.

This week we’re talking virginity. I work with men from all kinds of backgrounds, but one group I hear from frequently are adult virgins.

There is so much shame and anxiety around being a later in life virgin, and I want to share some insights from my work as a dating and intimacy coach for men. It isn't a problem until we make it one.

Disappointment is inevitable. It is going to come up at some point in dating and sex, so let’s talk about how to work with it! Whether you've experienced heartbreak, rejection, or unmet expectations in the dating world, understanding how to deal with disappointment is crucial for cultivating resilience and moving forward.

Our love lives are created by the countless decisions we make in dating and relationships. In this episode, men’s dating and intimacy coach Erika Davian shares personal stories and experiences to show the importance of managing your mind in decision making, so you can make decisions quickly and confidently, without looking back.

This week, we're looking at the powerful connection between your mind and the quality of sexual experiences. Regardless of your experience level, this episode is packed with valuable insights for you.

We'll address common unhelpful thoughts that can hinder your ability to enjoy sex. Reshape your thoughts now, and you'll be better equipped for great sex in the future.

While an erection is something that you experience in your body, it is largely a product of your mind. This episode breaks down the phrase “it’s all in your head” to help you understand the relationship between your body and brain and why it is so important to change what is in your head if you want different results in bed.

If you notice yourself holding back because you're afraid of getting yourself into relationship that you don't really want to be in, then this episode is for you. Whether you're new to the concept or consider yourself a pro, Erika breaks down how to create super simple, healthy boundaries that will lead to deeper connections and make sure you never get stuck in a relationship in a relationship that doesn’t work for you. ​​​​​​​

In today's episode we talk about a common concern many men share: how women will react.

This easily ranks high among the things that I see holding good men back from pursuing connections with women they like.

Tune in to hear how you can shift this concern (and where to focus your energy instead.)

We have a general sense that lowering our standards when looking for a partner is a bad idea… but is it? This week I’m challenging this idea to help you see when it makes sense (and when it doesn’t) to lower your standards in love.

In this episode I share with you the 5 biggest reasons I have seen in my clients for why they are stuck in AND I’m going to explain the antidote to overcome each of them.

We say we’re planning to go on vacation, quit our job, or buy a house… why don’t we say we are planning for love? This week explores why having a mindset of planning vs. hoping helps radically change how we approach dating and creating a relationship.

In this episode I'm sharing with you everything I know about limiting beliefs: what they are, how they're preventing you from showing up and living your life to your fullest potential, and most importantly, how to overcome them.
I welcome men of all races, cultural backgrounds, dating histories, body types, abilities, forms of neurodiversity, sexual orientations, relationship styles (monogamous, poly, etc.) in my coaching.
 
There is a place for you at the table.
