Today I talk with Dr. Frankie Bashan, renowned relationship coach and dating expert. Dr. Frankie Bashan (or, just Dr. Frankie) is the founder of Little Gay Book, the most successful exclusively lesbian (and bisexual women) matchmaking agency in the United States. I wanted to interview Dr. Frankie Bashan because of her authenticity, her dignity, and her courage to serve her community. She leads by example. If I am reincarnated as a lesbian, I hope to be exactly like Dr. Frankie Bashan. Dr. Frankie launched “Little Gay Book” and quickly became the premiere lesbian matchmaking service in the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, New York, Boston, San Diego, Hawaii, Denver (and growing).She is now expanding the cities she serves AND her client base. In addition to her traditional, Lesbian and bi-women client base, she is now helping everyone, regardless of sexual identity or orientation, find heart-centered-connection. She is an optimist who believes that everyone deserves to love and be loved.
