Who actually says they’re in love or in a relationship anymore?
To help find the reasoning to this question, dating influencer, TV writer, comedian, and ex-commitment-phobe, Natasha Chandel sits down with comedic guests to break down various dating topics as part of her weekly dating podcast entitled Kinda Dating.
Knowing what it’s like to be funny acting in love and comedy, Chandel was a writer on season two of the Netflix comedy series Mr. Iglesias starring Gabriel Iglesias. The versatile actress and improviser have been in Comedy Central’s Man Up, CBS’ Seal Team, Hulu’s The Mindy Project, HBO’s How to Make it in America, CBC’s 11 Cameras and MVP. Natasha is a graduate of UCB improv, and received a UCB Diversity Scholarship. In theater, Natasha was lead in the sold-out comedy play Brown’s 3-4 and has been in multiple runs of the acclaimed Vagina Monologues, among others.
Previous Kinda Dating guests vary from New York Times best-selling author Mark Manson, global comedian Russell Peters, expert therapist Nerda Glover Tawwab, actor James Kyson, social media influencer Hayley Herms, America’s Got Talent’s Gina Brillon, all the way to Natasha’s own parents.
A lighthearted podcast that often goes deep (no pun intended), Kinda Dating has been featured as a top dating and sex podcast in AskMen, Bustle, Refinery29, Elite Daily and more! It was also selected as an iTunes New & Noteworthy podcast.
With social media in our face, it’s hard not to compare our love lives (or lack of) to everyone around us?
In this week’s episode of the podcast, Natasha is joined by special guest Dr. Diane Strachowski. We all think we’ve been ghosted, gaslit, or love-bombed at some point. But have we really??
Strachowski is back with Natasha Chandel and breaks down the most overused terms in dating. She believes our misuse of these words are creating more strife in our lives, and taking away from people really experiencing them. She explains how to actually identify this behavior, and what we can learn from them. The pair also discuss the difference between toxic and abuse, and how it relates to Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s tumultuous divorce.
