I debated sharing this news as it's early. Like anyone who is just starting a new relationship, you aren't exactly sure where things are going, but authenticity and transparency are part of the foundation in which You're Such a Catch was born. To stay true to my word, here we are; the book is still open. Big things have not only been happening personally but also professionally.

In this week's episode, I chat with Grace Fraga, comedienne, actress, and author. The beauty of Grace is she is an open book, and she has a way of using self-deprecating humor to discuss the sensitive subject matter.

Grace has been engaged a total of four times. One of her ex-husbands was a narcissist. Grace recalls him gaslighting her in their relationship.

What if we were required to have a dating resume to enter the dating world? In order to be on any online dating platform, you'd have to create a document that included valid contact information and your objective with dating. You'd have to list your skillset, the qualities you bring to the table, maybe some interests, as well as your dating history or experience.

My chat with Michele was so much fun! The girl has a psychic, dabbles in paranormal activity, hosts her Sunday Scaries Show out of a brewery basement that's supposedly haunted, and has probably been on more bad dates than I can count. She's been on so many bad dates she memorialized them in her book: Suddenly Single Modern Tales of Fairy Fails.
