Excellent news! Bad Dates has 183,150 followers across its active channels. Looking at just the primary Page, engagement at BDOM goes up to 1.1 million every 28 days. My priorities are the people on the Page and promoting discussion on respect, safe sex and dating issues. I have always put the followers first and always will. BDOM followers are very, very, very engaged. I am lucky to have them on board and involved.

I’m on Confessions of the Idiots this week alongside Sam Petersen and Scott Brennan. It’s pretty funny!

📺💔 Did you catch me on Today Extra on Channel Nine? I was the ‘Gatekeeper of Bad Dates’ and spoke to Richard Wilkins and Belinda Russell dressed in a red turtleneck and chunky necklace. Being a Zoom interview where they only see your top half, I was also in my pyjama pants.

According to this story, I’ve created a cult and a national phenomenon.  Not a bad effort for someone who works in their pyjamas! Take a look at this interview with me at Body + Soul.

I was on the Finding a Unicorn podcast with Carly Bowyer (from Married at First Sight) and Eliza Paschke.  It’s also on Spotify.  A great podcast for everyone on Tinder who is looking for a unicorn! 🦄  (Not me though, I’m ok.)  Do give this a listen: excellent show with funny hosts.

Throwback!  I studied a Bachelor of Arts (Media) and Graduate Diploma of Public Relations at RMIT University back in the day – and had a fantastic time.  I spoke to RMIT about my time in lockdown, COVID dating and my advice for those searching for their dream career.  Take a gander.
