A candid conversation with Jennyfer Jay about her new book, Lessons I Learned from Dating Men. We talk about the dating experiences that inspired it, the chaos of modern dating, and why leaving in silence might just be your new superpower.

This week on Help Me I’m Dating, I’m joined by the brilliant Claire Snoddy - a costume supervisor with credits like Game of Thrones and How to Train Your Dragon, a mum of three, and the host of the In My Solo Era podcast.

After a 16-year marriage, closing her successful bridal business, and navigating heartbreak, Claire chose to rebuild - on her own terms. We talk about starting over in your 40s, solo travel, ghosting, dating app drama, TikTok trolls, and rediscovering your voice after grief.

Claire’s story is one of reinvention, resilience, and radical self-belief - a reminder that singlehood isn’t a failure, it’s a fresh start.

If you're in your solo era, this one’s for you.

• The hidden motivations behind it—beyond just narcissism.
  
• How to spot the warning signs before you get swept away.
  
• What to do if you’re the one love-bombing without realising it.

Plus, we talk about how attachment styles play a role, the love bombing cycle, and practical ways to protect yourself. If you’ve ever felt like a relationship was moving too fast but didn’t want to slow it down, this episode is for you.
