Done Being Single

If you're just entering the dating world, or have been dating forever, it might be a good time to take a look in the mirror. Do you like what you see? Are you the best version of yourself? Do you look and feel date ready? Maybe it's time to make some changes, update your look, get in shape, or "freshen up" a bit with some cosmetic procedures. Or maybe you just need an attitude adjustment and fresh perspective. If you're single and on the market, it takes work. Upkeep isn't just a chick thing, men need maintenance too. On this week's episode, we're inviting image consultant Kimberly Seltzer, and anti-aging medical expert Dr. Andre Berger to discuss their secret tips and tricks to looking good and being date ready.

As the old joke goes: a human behavioralist, a palm reader, and a psychic, all walk into a bar... What they discover is they all have something in common: the ability to intuit, look deeper, and find hidden signs and meaning into human behavior and personality. On this week's DONE BEING SINGLE, we're inviting metaphysical experts to help explain chemistry and attraction, specifically what to look for in a mate, how to know if a relationship has staying power, and if a person is marriage material. From the psychic realm, to palm reading, to astrological charts, to human assessment tools, we're thinking outside the box to help you get a leg up in the dating world.

You might've had a tough childhood. You might've been a child of divorce, or from a broken home, or without good role models to show you love, or how to function in a healthy, stable relationship. Your past--regardless of how dysfunctional or tumultuous--shouldn't stop you (or keep you) from finding love and attracting healthy relationships. You don't have to be a legacy to what you experienced growing up. You can overcome incredible odds and obstacles, you just need the right guidance. Our guest this week, clinical psychologist Dr. Margaret Rutherford, will give you practical tools, skills, and insight to help you get over your past, and onward to healthy love.

Think that finding a girlfriend/boyfriend/relationship or getting married is what's going to make you happy? Think again! Your happiness is not attached to something or someone outside yourself. It comes from within, and it's all within reach. You can be the boss of your own happiness, and we're going to show you how. On this episode of DONE BEING SINGLE, Happiness Coach Ricky Powell, and former CNN anchor and syndicated newspaper columnist Daryn Kagan, will share their tools and secrets not just for finding happiness, but taking charge of it.

Sex and the Single Girl was wildly popular non-fiction book written in 1962 by Helen Gurley Brown, editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine. It broke taboos and sold millions by encouraging women to take charge of their sex lives at a time when men had all the power in the bedroom. 56 years later, the single girl might have more say and more power, but she still has questions about sex, and she isn’t afraid to ask. Whether you’re a single gal worried about her sexual mojo, or a guy wondering how to turn his girl on, all your questions will be answered by our guest this week, psychotherapist, writer, and sex coach, Vanessa Marin.

You say you want to be in a relationship, but do you even know how? Do you know what it takes to find a healthy, stable partner? Do you know what's required to sustain a happy partnership? Treva and Robby are still learning, and want to share their discoveries and insights with you. So they're hitting the couch for some live, on-air, couples counseling with Jonathan Robinson, psychotherapist and author of the bestselling book, "Communication Miracles for Couples."

The Rolling Stones once said: “You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you find you get what you need.” But when you’re single and dating, can you get what you need without settling? Is even a little settling too much? How do you keep your bar raised, your standards high, and still be realistic? The real truth is, you get what you need when you stop searching, and start settling. Settling isn’t a dirty word, it’s just misunderstood. On this week’s episode of DONE BEING SINGLE, we’re inviting Lori Gottlieb, psychotherapist and author of the New York Times bestseller, “MARRY HIM: The Case For Marrying Mr. Good Enough,” to put a different spin on settling. And she should know—she wrote the book on it.

Dating with baggage--you may have it, or you may be dating someone who has it. Kids, a crazy ex, an ugly divorce, personal issues, all qualify as stuff we bring with us when we date and get into new relationships. The baggage might be heavy, but it doesn't have to weigh you down. Our guest this week, Tom Carouso, MFT, will help you unpack your baggage, unload your stuff, and free yourself up to love.

Sex when you're single can be wild and fun if you're adventurous, or it can spell doom and gloom if you're not careful. It all depends on where you're at, what your needs are, and what kind of shape your ego is in. Long term relationship? Marriage? Fuck buddy? Casual hook-up? There's something for everybody, you just gotta be clear on what you want first. Tune into DONE BEING SINGLE and let Treva and Robby help guide you through the Wild West of singles sex.

Who are you online? A straight shooter or con job? Do you lie about your age, height, weight, income, marital status, etc. on dating apps? Or, do you tell the truth and hope for the best?

Adding her insights to the discussion will be cyber-dating expert Julie Spira, author of the bestseller, “The Perils of Cyber-Dating: Confessions of a Hopeful Romantic Looking for Love Online.”
