In this episode of The Scarlet Edit, I sit down with Jonathon Aslay, a relationship coach who helps his clients navigate the modern dating landscape with clarity, self-awareness, and confidence. Jonathon shares his journey from the personal heartbreak losing his son to becoming a coach, emphasizing how emotional connection, optimism, and self-reflection can transform your dating experience.

We dive into:

  • Jonathon’s background: how personal experiences and heartbreak led him to coaching, working mostly with women to help them build healthier relationships
  • The “friendship first” approach: Jonathon’s story of meeting his girlfriend by prioritizing friendship and emotional foundation before romance
  • Journaling for clarity: the “Enchanted Journal” method his girlfriend used to understand her desires and emotional needs before they even met
  • Dating mindset: why optimism and hope are more powerful than doom-and-gloom, and how your mindset attracts the relationships you want
  • Relationship lessons for everyone: what men and women want to feel — safe, seen, heard, accepted, loved, and desired — and how to consciously pursue that
  • Dealing with rejection, heartbreak, and modern dating challenges: embracing growth, learning from experiences, and laughing at the process

Jonathon also shares his actionable insights for anyone navigating dating after divorce, long-term relationships, or casual dating — proving that self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and optimism can change your experience entirely.
