built by a late bloomer who was done settling.
Date Brazen is a feminist movement for late bloomers
I’m a former top matchmaker and proud late bloomer who got sick of the dusty dating rules that keep feminist humans stuck in the patriarchal dark ages.
After hearing way too many “just be less picky,” “go on one more date,” and “maybe you should soften into your feminine energy” speeches, I’d had enough.
So I created Date Brazen: a feminist movement for late bloomers who feel “behind.” Who are ready to stop settling and build joyful dating lives that make the right relationship inevitable.
This is about stepping into your unapologetic, bold self and attracting love that actually aligns with your needs and desires—no more playing small.
For years, I’d felt like a “behind” late bloomer.
And despite dating a guy who ticked every box on paper, I was stuck in a toxic relationship, feeling completely numb and quietly terrified that maybe I was just asking for too much.
But here’s the truth nobody saw: My love life was a mess.
After setting up 399 dates, I’d become one of the top matchmakers out of 160 at one of the country’s biggest matchmaking firms.
Picture this: one minute I was sobbing on the floor of his apartment. Fifteen minutes later, I was on a call telling my client, “You deserve so much better!” The disconnect was massive—and I couldn’t keep living that double life.
The problem? Matchmaking was only ever a first-date-level solution. My friends told me to “play the numbers game” or offered to swipe for me—like that was going to fix it. And my therapist, who hadn’t dated in 30 years, had zero practical advice beyond, “Just be yourself.”
What I finally realized was this: I wasn’t broken. Patriarchal dating rules and socialization had taught me to shrink myself.
No wonder settling felt like the only option.
We live in a dating culture that treats coupled women like they’re “ahead” and singles like they’re somehow “less than.” A culture that tells late bloomers we’re “weird,” “behind,” and should settle because it’s “too late” for us. A culture that says “be in your divine feminine” instead of teaching us how to trust our own damn power. One that insists we should lose weight, need less, and tone it down just to be considered lovable.
I took everything I’d learned behind the scenes of the matchmaking industry and combined it with feminist mindset work and a tactical strategy rooted in self-trust, clarity, and bold, messy action. I stopped believing I had to change myself to be loved. Instead, I learned how to be my own damn expert matchmaker.
So if you’re craving more—and it’s not here yet—let’s go freaking get it.
But I decided I was done living a life that felt like settling. So I broke up with matchmaking—and with him—and built the feminist, unconventional approach to dating I desperately needed.
That’s how I finally broke free from settling, shame, and self-doubt—and created a joyful-as-fuck dating life that led me to the love of my life, my now-husband, Chris.
And here’s the best part: this approach hasn’t just worked for me. It’s helped hundreds of feminist humans around the world go from stuck, exhausted, and doubting they’re “too much”… to building confident, joyful dating lives that make the right relationship inevitable.
When you’re surrounded by a coven of feminist cheerleaders, playing small stops being an option. The more you show up in community, the braver—and faster—you’ll move toward the love you deserve.
