A Life Spent Figuring Out Relationships.

Meet Wendy

Since 2002, Wendy Newman has helped more than 90,000 people around the world build happier, healthier relationships through her book, articles, workshops, and practical approach to love and communication.

Her work has always been grounded in one simple question:

Does it work?

For more than two decades, Wendy studied relationships in the real world. She road tested her tools, refined them along the way, interviewed hundreds of men one-on-one, facilitated countless relationship panels and workshops, explored both traditional and unconventional relationship structures, and—perhaps most famously—went on 121 first dates before writing her bestselling book, 121 First Dates, published by Simon & Schuster.

The result is a body of work that is practical, compassionate, and deeply rooted in real human experience. Whether you're navigating dating, marriage, communication, long-term partnership, or a relationship that doesn't fit conventional expectations, Wendy's goal has never been to tell you what your relationship should look like. It's to help you discover what works best for yours.

Today, Wendy brings that same curiosity, communication style, and practical problem-solving to her work as a California Realtor, helping people navigate another of life's biggest transitions: buying and selling homes. You can learn more about that work at WendyNewmanRealtor.com.

This website is home to Wendy's relationship work. We're gradually making the DIY workshops available for free so they can continue helping people for years to come.
