Send us Fan Mail In this episode of The Gynarchy Podcast, we talk with dating coach, relationship expert, author, and “Canada’s Dating Coach,” Chantal Heide about modern dating, healthy relationships, and how women can stop settling for toxic partners.  Chantal shares her no-nonsense approach to dating, including her controversial “no kissing for three months” rule, why women should prioritize observation before emotional attachment, and how patriarchal messaging can lead women to ignore red flags and stay in unhealthy relationships.
