Episode 183: Mindful Dating and Connection in Modern Times

Episode 183: Mindful Dating and Connection in Modern Times

In this episode, I interview Alexandra Ballensweig, CEO and founder of humhum, a modern mindful dating app that inspires meaningful connection. Alexandra shares how swiping right or left feeds the reactive and judgmental parts of the mind. Alexandra was inspired to create a mindful dating experience where people can come together in a heart-based way. Alexandra shares how creating triangulation can be a helpful way to take the pressure off of meeting new people and build connection through a shared experience. We also discuss how building trust within ourselves and within our relationships is a foundational pillar. Take a listen to this episode and share your takeaways with us on Instagram @OneWade and @humhumspace.

Alexandra has 10+ years of facilitating experiences, and holding space for groups to connect, collaborate, and create. Prior to founding humhum Alexandra worked as a consultant in Strategic Design and Product Management at BCG Digital Ventures, facilitating product innovation sprints for fortune 100 teams. Across corporate venture and consulting for startups, their experience spans across e-commerce, B2B SaaS, holistic wellness, finance, and event tech.

Alexandra is a certified Kundalini Yoga teacher, and a Reiki Master Teacher and practitioner trained in the Usui Method, and a Vipassana practitioner. They hold an M.S. of Industrial Design from Art Center College of Design.

Personal practice plays a critical role in Alexandra's life and work.
