In this episode of Lead with AI, Dr. Tamara Nall is joined by Briana Longe, CEO and co-founder of HeyLina, to unpack what’s really driving modern dating—and why more matches aren’t leading to better relationships.

Together, they explore why so many people repeat the same emotional patterns in dating, how a lack of self-awareness shapes partner selection, and why emotional intelligence may be the most overlooked factor in finding healthy connections. Briana shares her journey from finance and tech to building HeyLina, an AI-powered platform designed to act as an objective emotional companion—helping users recognize patterns, navigate difficult decisions, and grow through honest self-reflection.

The conversation dives into how HeyLina works, from voice-based interactions to emotional health tracking, and why ethical boundaries are essential when AI enters emotionally vulnerable spaces. As Briana puts it, “Sometimes all you need is an objective third party to tell you, look—this has happened.”

This episode challenges swipe culture, explores the limits of AI emotional support, and makes a compelling case for understanding yourself before choosing a partner.
