“The checklist” isn’t just applied to the other. Sometimes people think they must: lose weight, be happier, achieve a certain financial status, or “love myself first” before they can date. Self-love is less about the ability to withstand loneliness or establish independence and more about awareness and acceptance of our incompleteness. It’s about letting others love us even when we feel unlovable because their version of us is often kinder than our own. Comment SESSIONS LIVE and explore Mating in the MetaCrisis with me and several other renowned speakers, April 25 and 26, in Brooklyn and virtually.

We tend to think of being single as a matter of being alone rather than a matter of choosing the types of relationships we want to be in—including the relationship we have with ourselves. The relational world is no longer divided between “who is in a relationship” and “who is not.” The better question now is “What is your state of relatedness?” It may feel like an awkward phrase to ask, but the answers are much richer, depthful, and informative than any box we could check on a form. I truly enjoyed discussing Valentine’s Day – and so many other great topics – with @oprah on the most recent episode of The Oprah Podcast. I’m curious: What does #ValentinesDay mean to you? And who are you celebrating with?
Over the Valentine’s Day weekend, we saw a lot of social media “highlight reels” of relationships. And you may be wondering: Can I date if I’m actually going through a tough time? Can I date when I’m “not my best”? Historically, a tough time is a time when people meet, and connect, and date. I’m curious: Is this something you are facing, or have faced, when dating?
What a thrill to learn that Oprah not only got Where Should We Begin? but plays it when she hosts dinner parties and gatherings, and got it for her friends! ✨ This game of stories is designed to spark deep, meaningful conversations and bring you closer to those around you. 💛 Who will you play with? Comment GAME to get yours and start the conversation!
I wanted to share this photo with you. I saw a display of my books and my game Where Should We Begin? At @psychnetworker last week and I hopped up on this nearby table to capture this picture! And if you have the game, please keep tagging me as you play! I love seeing where, how, and with whom you’re enjoying the game as we all play along together.

The countdown is on! We’re one month away. Will I see you there? Virtual tickets still available. Comment SESSIONS LIVE to learn more.
On the most recent episode of my podcast Where Should We Begin, I discuss ghosting with my guest. I feel she actually describes a miscommunication and there’s an opportunity for reconnection or closure after he stopped communicating, which I’m discussing here. Ghosting is a topic so many of you mentioned when I asked you to share your dating questions the other day; I’m curious your thoughts on this. Did you listen? Do you think she was ghosted?
💫On April 25-26, Sessions with @estherperelofficial will be an event you won’t want to miss. Online tickets are still available. Sessions Live: Mating in the Metacrisis, where we’ll explore the hidden forces shaping modern relationships and how we can navigate them with more wisdom, clarity, and courage. In-person is sold out.

We are navigating love, connection, and intimacy in a time unlike any other. Expectations on relationships are at an all-time high. The world feels increasingly polarized. And the ways we meet, date, and relate are evolving faster than ever. So how do we cultivate true connection in a world of increasing isolation and division? How do we make space for agency and aliveness amidst uncertainty? And how do we, as clinicians, coaches, and practitioners, help our clients confront these challenges—while experiencing them ourselves? ✨ Join me and a lineup of world-renowned experts for Sessions Live 2025: Mating in the Metacrisis: Connection, Polarization, and Eroticism in a World on Edge—a transformative two-day event exploring relationships, social shifts, and what comes next.
