In this episode of Love, Sex, LA: Unfiltered, Alexandria sits down with dating coach & matchmaker Nelly Sudri to unpack what it really means to stop chasing love — and start choosing alignment.Together, they dive into how to heal your dating energy, date with discipline, and raise your value so you attract emotionally available partners who actually show up. They explore why so many women fall into “chasing mode,” how to embody feminine energy without losing yourself, and the hidden dangers of hookup culture — from emotional confusion to attachment mismatches to the false sense of intimacy that keeps you stuck in cycles you never meant to choose.Plus, they break down why we’re so drawn to emotionally unavailable men, how to rewire your attraction patterns, and how to choose connection with clarity instead of chaos. And of course… a round of Date or Ghost, decoding real-life dating scenarios.

This one’s for the girls in relationships, situationships, or even friendships that have left you questioning yourself. In this episode, we unpack why it’s not you, it’s them—and why giving your body, mind, time, and energy to someone before they’ve truly committed might be putting the cart before the horse. We’ll talk about how intentional dating means protecting your peace, and why it's time to stop replaying those old texts and wondering what you did wrong. Spoiler: you didn’t.

Chaos, comedy, and brutally honest takes.In this episode, I sit down with two of my sisters, Angelica and Julia, to tackle two big dating questions:- How do you cope with rejection (especially when it stings)?- Does anyone really deserve a second chance?Of course, I couldn’t resist sharing my own cringe confession—like that time I told my crush (two martinis deep) that I was offering them the “golden ticket” and it was “take it or leave it.” Spoiler: they left it.Come for the laughs, stay for the sisterly banter, and leave with a fresh perspective on rejection, resilience, and knowing when to ghost vs. give grace.

I sit down with singer/songwriter Lily Kincade to talk all things Cinematic—her brand new album dropping October 24.

We also dive into falling in love in LA, the inspiration that fuels her artistry, and so much more. And of course, it wouldn’t be Love, Sex, LA: Unfiltered without a round of our favorite game, Date or Ghost.

Would he make the cut? On this episode of Love, Sex, LA: Unfiltered, I’m joined by my casting-producer bestie, Cheech, to turn reality-TV casting criteria into a foolproof way to vet your love life IRL. We kick off with our game Cast or Cut (our spin on Date or Ghost) and rapid-fire the red flags: mid-divorce but still wearing the ring, only FaceTiming from the car, “it’s chill—I live with my ex,” endless texting with zero dates, and more. Then Cheech pulls back the curtain on how she casts men for dating shows—and how those same filters (accountability after past relationships, family dynamics, ideal first-date tells, subtle red flags, and whether he’s a pursuer, slow-burner, or collector) map perfectly to your next situationship. We also get personal—Cheech shares the wild story of discovering a partner’s infidelity mid-interview—and she leaves singles with grounded advice for getting back on set (aka back on the apps) after a heartbreak. Hit play for laughs, tea, and a casting-call level standards reset.
