62. Decoding Communication in Dating with Molly McPherson

Coming up in this episode of Flirtations, we welcome crisis communications strategist and PR guru Molly McPherson to the show as we decode communication!

Molly and I discuss essential communication strategies for handling those sometimes hard and awkward, yet necessary, conversations in dating, like how to talk about past relationships and what to say if you maybe need to end things with someone.

We'll explore ways to know if someone is being honest with you through how they communicate, the power of intentions and, of course, share some clever flirting strategies you can use in your dating lives right now. Such as how to say I like you without saying, I like you!

Molly also introduces us to her indestructible PR framework of "own it, explain it, promise it."

All of this and more awaits you inside the episode as we decode communication in dating.

Alright flirties, let’s meet Molly!
