In this episode, Dre welcomes love coach and author Francesca Hogi (How to Find True Love) for a conversation about self-worth, connection, and what it really means to flirt with life.

Francesca redefines flirting as a way of engaging with the world—not rooted in romance, but in presence. At its core, flirting is about making others feel seen and acknowledged, creating space for possibility, chemistry, and soul-level connection.

They explore how dating can become a practice of self-love, how emotional resilience opens the door to intimacy, and how we can begin to shift from “being chosen” to choosing ourselves.

This episode touches on patterns, boundaries, AI dating agents, serendipity, the myth of scarcity in love, and the narratives we’ve inherited around beauty and worth.

Together, Dre and Francesca offer reflections, questions, and gentle permission to approach love—not as a game to win, but as a mirror, a teacher, and a human experience worth showing up for.
