She was one of the top matchmakers in the U.S., but after setting up hundreds of dates, Lily realized that the answer to finding love was much deeper than a setup, and that the way we are taught to date is still stuck in the patriarchal dark ages. She founded her company, Date Brazen, in 2018 and has since helped hundreds of women create love lives that are epic, settle-proof, and joyful-as-hell with her intersectional feminist approach. She changes lives daily on TikTok, Top 4 Relationship Podcast- The Date Brazen Podcast , and sold-out coaching programs world-wide. Her debut nonfiction advice book, Thank You, More Please: A feminist guide to breaking dumb dating rules and finding love, comes out in June 2024 with Legacy Lit. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband, Chris. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    107. How to know they're "the one" (or if you want to commit long term)
    Sep 24 2024
    It's my wedding week! In this episode, I discuss how to know/decide that your partner is the one - meaning the person you will be with long-term and/or get married to. Even if you don't want to get married, this episode will walk you through the factors of deciding if the person you're with is someone you want to be with for the long haul. I address the mistakes we make along the way when making this decision and the pressure we put on ourselves.
