Miss Matched Podcast

What do red wine and red flags have in common? More than you think! This week on Miss Matched, we're pouring a glass (or two!) with Certified Sommelier, TV personality, entrepreneur, and founder of Wine by Renée, Renée Sferrazza, for a candid conversation about wine, dating, relationships, and learning to trust your own taste-- pun intended. From disastrous first dates and drinking dealbreakers to discovering your type, embracing your identity, and knowing your worth, we're exploring why finding the right partner is a lot like finding the perfect wine. Sometimes you have to try a few before you discover what you really love! Renée shares her journey to becoming a sommelier, navigating her sexuality, finding love on her own terms, and building a career around her passions. Plus, she teaches me how to properly taste wine, reveals what your drink order might say about you, and shares some unforgettable dating horror stories. (Don't worry, I have a few of my own!) Because whether it's love or wine, the best choice isn't always the most expensive or impressive. It's the one that's right for YOU.

But behind the success, she's navigated heartbreak, rejection, fertility struggles and unimaginable loss.In this deeply personal episode of Miss Matched, Laura opens up about finding love with her husband Adam after years of dating the wrong people, meeting on Raya, freezing her eggs, undergoing multiple rounds of IVF and experiencing a devastating miscarriage.She shares the emotional and physical toll of fertility treatments, the grief of losing a pregnancy, the importance of having a supportive partner and why she's speaking out to help other women feel less alone.We also dive into her Hollywood journey, the pressure to be perfect as a young actress, learning to handle rejection and finding the confidence to take control of her career as a director.And in an unexpected turn, the conversation becomes deeply personal for both of us as I open up about my own egg-freezing journey, my fears and the uncertainty of what lies ahead.There are tears, laughter, vulnerability and a reminder that sometimes the strongest thing we can do is allow ourselves to feel everything.This is one of the most vulnerable conversations I've had on Miss Matched, and one I hope reminds anyone navigating an unexpected chapter that they don't have to go through it alone.Subscribe to Miss Matched for honest conversations about love, relationships, career, wellness and everything in between.  ✨ CHECK OUT MY SOCIALS✨Instagram https://instagram.com/missmatchedpod Personal Instagram: https://instagram.com/nicoleservinis TikTok https://tiktok.com/@missmatchedpodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What happens when the career you've worked so hard for no longer fits the life you want? This week on Miss Matched, I sit down with Sunira Chaudhri, nationally recognized employment lawyer, media commentator and founder of Workly Law, to talk about ambition, failure, motherhood and betting on yourself. From struggling through university and failing parts of the MCAT to discovering her natural strengths in law, Sunira's path to success was anything but straightforward. After becoming one of the youngest partners at her firm, she faced a life-changing decision: invest roughly $1 million to become an equity partner or take a chance on building her own business. With a newborn at home, she chose herself. Five years later, Workly Law is one of Canada's fastest-growing companies, and Sunira is sharing the lessons she learned along the way. We get into navigating Bay Street's boys' club, building confidence, the power of networking, knowing when to walk away, and why sometimes the biggest career breakthrough comes from recognizing what you're naturally good at. Because success isn't always about climbing the ladder. Sometimes it's about building your own.

What happens when you spend your whole life holding everything together… only to realize you've lost yourself along the way? This week on Miss Matched, I'm joined by Gina Livy, founder of The Livy Method, 11-time #1 bestselling author, and the woman behind a global wellness community. But behind the success is a story of heartbreak, resilience, grief, and second chances. Gina opens up about losing her business, navigating divorce, raising four children, and the heartbreaking loss of her ex-husband. We talk about the invisible weight women carry, the guilt of putting ourselves first, learning to set boundaries, and why sometimes the people closest to us struggle to accept who we're becoming. And because this is Miss Matched, we're talking LOVE! Gina shares how she met her husband Tony on Match.com when she was ready to give up on dating, their year of Tuesday date nights, and what finding love again taught her about communication, compromise, and knowing your worth. With the release of her new book, Liv Lighter, Gina is redefining what it means to feel lighter — not just in your body, but in your relationships, your mind, and your life. It's about letting go of everything that's keeping you from being yourself.

What if some of the most meaningful relationships of your life are with people decades older than you? We spend so much time talking about finding love, but what about the love, wisdom and connections that grow stronger with age? This week on Miss Matched, I'm joined by Dr. Jane Barratt, a global advocate for healthy aging who has worked with the World Health Organization and United Nations to challenge how society views growing older. From ageism and the loneliness epidemic to soulmates, caregiving and finding purpose at every stage of life, Jane is challenging everything we think we know about aging. We get personal about my relationship with my grandparents, the realities of caring for aging parents, why our healthcare system needs to do better, and what it really means to grow old with someone you love. And yes, we talk about finding your soulmate, holding hands in the grocery store after 25 years together, and why it's never too late to chase another dream. Because maybe the goal isn't to live longer. It's to add more life to the years we have. 🎙️ Watch the full conversation and subscribe to Miss Matched for more honest conversations about love in all its forms.   ✨ CHECK OUT MY SOCIALS✨Instagram https://instagram.com/missmatchedpod Personal Instagram: https://instagram.com/nicoleservinis TikTok https://tiktok.com/@missmatchedpodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We laughed. We cried. We reviewed Hinge. Plot twist: Gurdeep Ahluwalia once asked me out… and apparently it was a date. So naturally, years later, I brought him onto the Miss Matched couch to unpack it. We talk timing, why the “right person” can still come along at the wrong time, dating in your 40s, and why Gurdeep would rather stay happily single than settle for something that’s just… fine. And because I clearly couldn’t help myself, I pulled up his dating profile and gave him a few notes. But this conversation goes somewhere much deeper, too. Gurdeep opens up about losing his dad, the incredible stories he learned about him after he was gone, and how grief has slowly shifted into gratitude. Four years later, he still thinks of him every single day — and hearing him talk about being grateful simply to have been his son is one of those moments that stays with you. A very Miss Matched conversation.

My favourite person is back on the couch. And this time, I’ve got Dad all to myself.If you know my dad, you know he loves two things fiercely: his family and sports. And growing up, those two things were almost impossible to separate.We talk about the old-school lessons he learned playing hockey, the sacrifices our parents made to give my brother and me every opportunity, why kids need to learn how to lose, and the difference between pushing your child to succeed and pushing them toward your dream.Sport taught me discipline. It taught me resilience. It taught me how to fail, get back up and try again. But looking back, I realize the biggest lesson came from my parents: give your kids every opportunity you can — and then let them decide how badly they want it.Or, as Dad puts it: “Follow your kids’ dreams, not your dreams.”My dad is back on Miss Matched — and somehow, he’s even wiser the second time around. New episode out now. ✨ CHECK OUT MY SOCIALS✨Instagram https://instagram.com/missmatchedpod Personal Instagram: https://instagram.com/nicoleservinis TikTok https://tiktok.com/@missmatchedpodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For years, Canada knew Rick Campanelli as the guy with the mic, the backwards cap and a front-row seat to pop culture. But there was another life happening when the cameras stopped rolling. At the height of his career, Rick was hiding a gambling addiction, infidelity, mounting secrets — and an arrest in Las Vegas that almost no one knew about. In fact, when he returned to work at ET Canada, only four people knew what had actually happened. The story stayed buried for 17 years. I thought I knew Rick. I worked alongside him for years. Then I read his memoir Tempted and realized I knew only one version of him. This conversation is about the other one. The fame. The temptation. The mistakes. The people he hurt. The woman who stayed. And what happens when the person everyone thinks has it all quietly loses control — and eventually has to find his way back. Rick Campanelli, like you’ve never heard him before. 🎙️ New episode of Miss Matched out now. ✨ CHECK OUT MY SOCIALS✨Instagram https://instagram.com/missmatchedpod Personal Instagram: https://instagram.com/nicoleservinis TikTok https://tiktok.com/@missmatchedpodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What happens when a dream you’ve been putting off suddenly becomes real?  Canadian magician Kameron Marshall joins Nicole Servinis on Miss Matched after earning four YESes on Season 21 of America’s Got Talent and advancing to the quarterfinals. But his journey to the AGT stage started long before the cameras were rolling. Kameron shares how a Grade 8 teacher first introduced him to magic, why he eventually wrote “America’s Got Talent” on his whiteboard after years of telling himself he’d audition “one day,” and what it felt like to finally stand on the stage he grew up watching.  We get into the reality behind making magic look effortless: hours of practice, performing through nerves, recovering when a trick goes wrong, reading a room and developing confidence through repetition. Kameron also opens up about the period when he stopped doing magic altogether, what brought him back to the craft, and why remembering the reason he started changed his relationship with performing.  Plus, he shares the daily habits that keep him focused — including more than 1,200 consecutive days of journaling, rating his days, setting goals and holding himself accountable — and why he believes writing down what you want can actually change the way you pursue it.  And, of course, Kameron puts Nicole to the test with a card trick that leaves her completely speechless. Can Kameron Marshall bring the AGT trophy home to Canada?  Tune into Youtube to see Kameron perform some magic on Nicole — and follow his journey as he heads into the America’s Got Talent live shows.  Subscribe to Miss Matched for conversations about relationships, ambition, identity, confidence, purpose and finding your own path. ✨ CHECK OUT MY SOCIALS✨Instagram https://instagram.com/missmatchedpod Personal Instagram: https://instagram.com/nicoleservinis TikTok https://tiktok.com/@missmatchedpodcast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
