61. Reimagining Connection with Shani Connard (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is there a better way to date than swiping, apps, awkward first dates… and speed dating in a pub with alcohol involved? I think there has to be! In this episode of Single and Not Settling, Vanessa Maree is joined by Shani Connard, who is doing exactly that — reimagining the way we meet and connect with other people.
