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. They have had the privilege of sitting multiple month-long silent retreats to study and practice meditation in the Theravada Buddhist tradition over the last decade. They maintain a committed daily meditation and yoga practice to create with integrity.

They're currently enrolled in the Dedicated Practitioner's Program at Spirit Rock Meditation Center, committing to their intention of bringing practice into every aspect of living.
