The Toothpaste Test: Why Real Connection Starts With the Small Stuff

In this week's episode, we talk to Lorii Abela, a luxury private matchmaker. Her clients have excelled in almost every aspect of their lives (careers, companies, wealth) and they hire her to help with the one thing that still eludes them: love.

She shares what she's seen change over 14 years of matchmaking: how dating has shifted from real conversation to texting and swiping, how the illusion of endless options is making connection harder rather than easier, and what she discovers underneath the surface when someone says they just can't find the right person.

About the guest:

Lorii Abela specializes in helping high-achieving individuals navigate the gap between professional success and personal fulfilment. Find out more: loriiabela.com

Your analog assignment:

Seek out a real conversation with a friend this week and if they offer to introduce you to someone, say yes. You never know what's right in front of your nose.
