Dating with intention
Understand what you need from a relationship, recognise patterns in how you choose, and make room for connections that fit you.
Know yourself. Choose with intention. Honest, practical conversations about dating, love, and the choices that shape your life.

I’m Joey Francess, a dating and relationship coach, author, and podcast host. I’ve spent more than 20 years studying human behavior and asking why we make the choices we make, especially when it comes to love.
My work starts with helping you understand yourself: what you want, what matters to you, and the patterns that keep getting in your way. From there, you can make decisions you’re willing to live with.
The coaching, the podcast, and all three of my books come back to that same foundation. Know yourself. Choose with purpose.

Our talk got me back into the dating world, thanks to you and your way of putting things into perspective.
You made me realize that I need to be more clear and unapologetic about myself and what’s important to me. I will not give my power away and embrace clear boundaries.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. Tell me what’s on your mind, and we can discuss how coaching could help.
