Modern dating is broken — or at least, that’s how it feels for many people navigating swipe culture, endless options, and surface-level connections.

In this episode of The Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T, Linda Mitchell sits down with relationship expert Jackie Dorman, founder of the Last Year Single® movement, to unpack what’s really happening in today’s dating world — and how to shift from frustration to intentional love.

With more than 25 years of experience and over 1,600 marriages created since 2020, Jackie shares her bold perspective on why dating apps may be doing more harm than good, and how her HeartWork method is helping people break patterns and build lasting relationships.

• The truth about the soulmate myth
• How self-sabotage keeps people stuck in dating cycles
• What emotional readiness really looks like
• The HeartWork method for relationship success

Ep 927: The Power of Saying No: Boundaries, Burnout & Reclaiming Your Life with Ginny Priem

What if saying “no” was actually the key to a healthier, more aligned life?

In this episode of the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda sits down with Ginny Priem — keynote speaker, master certified life coach, author, and creator of the UNSUBSCRIBE framework — for a powerful conversation about boundaries, burnout, people-pleasing, and the emotional cost of constantly saying yes.

In a culture that glorifies hustle, overcommitment, and constant availability, many people are left feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves. Ginny shares why boundaries are not selfish, why saying no is about clarity rather than conflict, and how learning to protect your energy can completely transform your relationships, confidence, and success.

Ep 929: From Exhausted to Alive Again: The Nervous System Reset Women Need with Dr. Julie Merriman

What if nothing is actually wrong with you?

In this powerful episode of the Sisterhood of S.W.E.A.T., Linda sits down with Dr. Julie Merriman — PhD, trauma specialist, certified sex counselor, and nervous system expert — to unpack a conversation many women are feeling deeply… but rarely saying out loud.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, your energy, your confidence, or your desire and wondered whether it’s “just aging,” this episode may completely change the way you see yourself.

Dr. Julie explains why so many high-achieving women over 50 are stuck in nervous system survival mode — and how that freeze response can impact desire, emotional connection, exhaustion, self-worth, and even the ability to feel fully alive.

This conversation dives into nervous system regulation, shame, burnout, emotional disconnection, midlife identity shifts, and what it really takes to reconnect with yourself after years of over-functioning and self-abandonment.

You’ll also hear Dr. Julie break down her Desire Reboot Framework™ and explain why healing is not about “fixing” yourself — it’s about creating enough safety in the body to come back to life again.

This episode is honest, empowering, emotional, and deeply validating for any woman who feels like she’s lost herself somewhere along the way.

In This Episode

• Why it may not be “just hormones”
• What nervous system freeze actually feels like in everyday life
• Why high-achieving women are especially vulnerable to burnout and disconnection
• The biggest lies women believe about desire after 50
• How shame quietly keeps women disconnected from themselves
• Small daily shifts that help rebuild trust with the body
• Why your body may be protecting you — not failing you
• How nervous system regulation can help women feel alive again
