In today’s show, we interview relationship and dating expert, Laura Bilotta.
In the first segment of the show, we discuss the advantages and pitfalls of online dating. Is it possible to find a good date and even build a serious relationship through an online dating app?
While you can meet someone at the click of a button, there are many people who misstate their personal information just because they want the perfect date.
Yet, there are others who log on to online dating apps just after a break-up. If you end up dating someone on a rebound, can you expect them to be in the right “headspace”? Do these folks really know what they want from their partner and their relationship?
In this segment of the show, Laura shares some red flags that you should watch out for so that you can avoid wasting your time in a frivolous relationship that goes nowhere.
Here, Laura also reviews some popular online dating apps like Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble. As well as her dating site Single In The City.
Towards the end, Laura fields some interesting questions from listeners. Topics discussed here include the different ways in which men and women deal with complex emotions, how to ascertain if your spouse is invested in a relationship, arriving at a fine balance between “couple time” and “alone time” and much, much more…
Enjoy!

In today’s show, co-hosts, Nina, and Roger interview relationship expert, Susan Winter. Susan is also the bestselling author of Older Women, Younger Men.
Back in the 1990s, Susan fell in love with a man who was twenty years younger than her. What surprised Susan was the intense backlash that she had to deal with.
While our stereotypical society is quite accepting of an older man dating a younger woman, a relationship between an older woman and a younger man raises many an eyebrow.
This experience of hers inspired Susan to write her book, Older Women, Younger Men in the late 1990s.
Susan also goes on to discuss the Five Languages of Love and reveals how a failure to properly communicate with your partner can cause you to sabotage a relationship.
As well as a conversation about Nina's Birthday PMS, and how Roger & Nina can handle their conflict resolution.
Are you prone to losing your patience and snapping at your partner? Do you feel that your partner does not notice all the effort that you are putting in? Is this “lack of gratitude and expression” the cause of bitterness and rift in your relationship?
If this sounds like something that you are continuously grappling with, listening to this segment of the show will particularly help you out.
For these and many more relationship nuggets, tune in to our latest show now!
What You Will Learn In This Show
- Conflict Resolution.

How many marriages fall apart because couples fail to develop intimacy with one another? In today’s show, Nina and Roger share some actionable tips that will help couples develop and maintain intimacy.
To make it easier for our listeners, Nina and Roger break down intimacy into four main categories – physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual.
While most listeners (and especially men) will instantly relate to physical intimacy, cultivating emotional, intellectual, and spiritual intimacy is, arguably, more difficult and much more important.
When we are venturing into a new relationship, many of us are afraid to show our true emotions. We shy away from being vulnerable. And we shy away from discussing sensitive topics lest we end up having some serious disagreements.
In today’s show, Nina and Roger share how they have managed to remain intimate with one another even after 23 years of marriage.
From working out together to meditating on a daily basis to being authentic with one another…Nina and Roger share some simple yet incredibly important things that have enabled them to enjoy a romantic, fulfilling, and intimate relationship.
We hope you enjoy this show!
What You Will Learn In This Show
- How to deal with differences in a relationship
- The four different kinds of intimacies that couples should aim to develop
- Why is important to be authentic and completely vulnerable in a relationship

Today’s show of Head Over Heels is a special one as we interview sexologist and relationship expert, Jessica O'Reilly and her husband, Brandon Ware.
With a Ph.D. in human sexuality and extensive international experience, Jessica has also authored many books including her latest one The Ultimate Guide to Seduction and Foreplay: Techniques and Strategies for Mind-Blowing Sex (Ultimate Guide Series).
In this tell-all interview, Jessica and Brandon share how they manage to navigate the ups and downs of their love and sex life.
Brandon met Jessica at a bar when she was still a university student. They hit it off instantly and moved in together just 3 days later. Did Brandon have any apprehensions when he first discovered Jessica’s career choice?
In the initial stages of a relationship, there is natural attraction towards one another due to chemical spikes in the body. However, over time, burdened by more responsibilities, passion and love tends to wane.
So, what steps can you take to bring back excitement to your relationship?
On the flip side, Jessica shares, how your appetite for risk increases when you are in a safe space as a couple.
Additionally, in this segment of the show, Jessica and Brandon share how every couple has a “love language” through which they can flawlessly communicate their feelings for one another. Jessica shares how Brandon’s “acts of service” are a huge turn-on for her.
Like many of us, the current pandemic has turned Jessica’s life upside down. Not able to travel the world for her speaking assignments, Jessica is managing her work virtually from home. How has this new normal impacted Jessica’s emotional and physical needs?
Other topics discussed in today’s show include dealing with jealousy, and what to do when a partner feels threatened or intimidated.
We hope you enjoy this show!
