Are You Even Ready to Be Matched? with Gilli Kahn

Everyone talks about matchmaking but what happens before you're ready to be matched? In this episode, I sit down with Gilli Kahn, a dating coach who works closely with Aleeza Ben Shalom (the matchmaker from Netflix's Jewish Matchmaking). Gilli has built her entire practice on word of mouth - no website, no big following, just results - and today she's breaking that down for the rest of us. We get into the real difference between coaching and matchmaking, why so many people jump straight to the latter without doing the work first, and then we get into dating across different levels of religious observance, and whether men and women are actually playing by the same rules when it comes to giving someone a chance.
