It’s second nature for Kara Ann Loewentheil to get her feelings out in the open and deal with them. Matthew Scott Eubank, who called her “a Jedi of emotion,” found the idea terrifying at first, but then began “to trust the system.”
“It was like a magic trick,” said Mr. Eubank, 54, who grew up in Minneapolis and met Ms. Loewentheil on the dating app OkCupid in March 2021.
Ms. Loewentheil, 43, is a master certified life coach who grew up in Baltimore. She hosts a weekly podcast for women who struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, and impostor syndrome and owns a feminist coaching company. Her book, “Take Back Your Brain,” was published in May and made several best-seller lists.
Until 2016, Ms. Loewentheil, who received a law degree cum laude from Harvard, was a women’s rights lawyer. She graduated cum laude in English language and literature from Yale, where she was also a fellow in the Study of Reproductive Justice program at Yale Law School.
“His profile was very well written,” she said, which made up for his unflattering photos (Ms. Loewentheil described him as having a “severe expression” and “a bad haircut with his hair combed down over his forehead”).
Mr. Eubank, whose previous marriage ended in divorce, retired as an assistant attorney general for the State of New York in the Brooklyn regional office. He has a bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Washington and a law degree from Brooklyn Law School.
