Meet Your Host

Woman with long brown hair wearing a black long-sleeve top and red patterned skirt sitting on a brown sofa, holding a glass of rosé wine, smiling against a white background.

Rebecca Hawkes (you can call her Becka) is the host of The Date with Confidence Podcast, your go-to show if you’re tired of dating drama and ready to raise your standards without losing your mind (or your sense of humour).

After being blindsided by a breakup at 29, Becka turned her “WTF is happening with my life” moment into a journey of self-growth, self-worth, and a mission to help other 30-somethings stop settling.

Now, she shares how to date with confidence, trust your intuition, and attract the kind of love that actually feels good.

Becka isn’t here for generic dating advice, she’s here to bring you the real, raw, and funny truths about modern dating.

Expect practical tools, mindset shifts, and the occasional rant that’ll leave you feeling like you’ve just had wine with your best mate.

Be honest, are you holding yourself to the same dating standards you expect from others? 

In this episode of The Date with Confidence Podcast, I share a big shift I’ve made in my dating mindset—one that’s honestly changed everything.
