Watch or Listen to My Broken to brave podcast

A weekly podcast About Relationships, Entertainment, & Sports

I'm Donna Barnes - The Love Coach. I'm also an Actress, and Sports Fan. My podcast explores all three: The Entertainment Industry, Sports Figures, and Relationship Advice. I'm open about my own life so that I can help you be your best self! I've been coaching people for almost 20 years now since 2007.

What we talk about on the podcast...

Fixing Broken People & relationships

We are all a little (or a lot) broken - until we learn to make better choices. I became a Love Coach because in my 20s and 30s I was desperately trying to figure things out. In 2002, I co-hosted Naked New York and they dubbed me "Dating Expert". So I enrolled at New York University and in 2007 I started coaching others. 

Entertainment: Movies, TV & Music

I started modeling in New York City as a teenager, studied acting, and was in the entertainment business for the first couple decades of my adult life. I can sing & play the piano and was in an all girl rock band called "Snapshot" in Philly for a while. I'm still a SAG member and I enjoy talking to people about their movie, TV, and music journeys. 

Sports

The greatest gift my father gave me was to make me a sports fan! I have loved sport all my life! I was a cheerleader in school, and still am as a fan. I was in the Superdome New Orleans when the Eagles won their 2nd Superbowl. I'm from Philly but I'm also a New Yorker - so I route for them all. I appreciate great stories from all sports!
