    Feb 10 2025
    In this captivating episode, I sit down with the incredible Sara Jane Ho—an international etiquette expert, Emmy-nominated host of Netflix’s Mind Your Manners, and author of the book of the same name.

    From her early days in Hong Kong to earning degrees from Exeter, Georgetown, and Harvard Business School, Sara brings a wealth of wisdom and charm to the table. Together, we dive into the art of dating with grace, confidence, and authenticity—and why etiquette is about so much more than just which fork to use!

    We talked about:

    • Why etiquette matters in modern dating. Sara shares her unique perspective on how understanding etiquette can help you foster deeper, more meaningful connections. Spoiler: It's not about being stuffy or old-fashioned—it’s about being thoughtful and authentic.
    • Practical tips for first dates that set you apart. Learn Sara’s go-to advice for making a stellar first impression—from body language to choosing the perfect setting.
    • How to handle rejection with elegance. Let’s face it, rejection is tough. But Sara gives us actionable advice for navigating it with confidence and class, so you come out stronger on the other side.
    • Building self-awareness and confidence. Sara opens up about her own journey and how she’s learned to balance vulnerability with strength. Her story is a testament to the power of self-discovery and self-respect.
    • The surprising link between etiquette and self-love. Did you know that treating others well starts with how you treat yourself? Sara explains how cultivating self-love and respect can transform not only your dating life but every relationship in your life.
