Shaun Galanos & Stonewalling Signs: Rewind

This week on Dates & Mates, Damona Hoffman rewinds to one of her favorite conversations with love coach and viral content creator Shaun Galanos. Shaun is the host of The Love Drive podcast and has become a rising voice in game-free, radically honest dating advice—and this episode shows you exactly why.

In this raw and radically honest episode, Shaun and Damona go head-to-head on the dating games that hold us back, how to ask for what you want in bed, and what to do when someone won’t give you a straight answer. From emotional stonewalling to the pressure of dating app perfectionism, they unpack it all.

What you’ll learn:

• Why radical honesty is the only dating strategy worth mastering

• How to bring up uncomfortable topics without pushing people away

• What stonewalling actually says—and how to respond to it

• How to explore kink, sexual compatibility, and deeper intimacy with confidence

• Why optimizing for the “perfect” person might leave you lonely

• How to hold your power as a strong woman without dimming your light

This episode is part of our Rewind Series, where we revisit some of the most powerful and timeless conversations from the Dates & Mates vault.
