In this week’s podcast episode, I am discussing the importance of only engaging with men who are ACTIVELY interested in you. I have talked and talked to so many men and women about this topic of men pursuing women and the idea that “men are hunters” and they like the chase. I get so much push back from men who insist that a woman should be able to “shoot her shot” at a man and that the woman should also be pursuing men or they won’t know if she is interested. Ladies, my stance on this one just isn’t going to change.

If you seek to be the feminine energy in your relationship with a masculine man, then you can’t have it both ways (and neither can the man)! Either you are choosing to be the feminine who will flirt, give eye contact, and smile OR you will be the masculine who will initiate by approaching, and messaging, or speaking first. Remember, the words of Dr. Pat Allen, “he who speaks FIRST is male”!

I am also going to give you valuable information so you don’t find yourself pursuing a man who really isn’t interested in YOU like that! I see too many women who begin to lean in with a man and think that because he isn’t shutting them down or he is accepting their advances that it means he wants them! To some degree, all men are receptively interested in women. We have something that most men want and so if you decide you want to give it to them for “free” they will take it!

In this week’s episode, I wanted to discuss health and fitness. It may be a hard episode to listen to BUT it’s necessary to help you to not only look and feel better but also to appeal to that high-value, masculine man that you all want! Yes, ladies, there are some things that most men want in a high-value, feminine energy woman, and being healthy and fit is one of them. Even the richest men in the world ascribe to this. I researched over 25 wealthy men and found pictures of what their wives looked like and I was surprised to see that they were of average looks (most of them) but they were all fit and within healthy standards of BMI.

I’m not just concerned with what the men think, I want you to feel good FOR YOU!! I want you to look at yourself in a mirror and LOVE what is looking back at you. I want you to live a long time and to be comfortable in your own skin. We all have the ability to be the BEST version of ourselves and we should never stop trying to grow and learn. I’m here to support you in any way that I can so let’s do it!

Here are some of the resources that I spoke of in this week’s episode.

 

Dr. Eric Berg’s YouTube Channel:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3w193M5tYPJqF0Hi-7U-2g

He has LOTS of information on healthy Keto diets and intermittent fasting as well as other information on hormones. His channel is great to research all types of health conditions and he gives great fitness tips!

 

MintRx Pharmacy:

This is the service I use for my natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). You can also research all kinds of natural remedies for a variety of health concerns. They utilize online doctor visits to prescribe compounded medicines that they can send you through the mail. They also have several different types of lab testing and can test your hormone levels to see where you are now.

 

Metabolic Renewal:

https://www.metabolicrenewal.com/

I ordered this program and really enjoy the workouts and the eating plans. I did not order any of the extra supplements that they will push on you. This program is keeping in mind your female hormone changes and is specifically designed to help with this. The doctor who designed this program is Dr. Jade Teta, who is also a personal trainer.

In this week’s episode of the podcast, I am unpacking a topic that I have discussed quite a bit lately. It’s about dating men with children and the good, the bad, and the downright despicable! There are so many things to consider when we think about single dads. They are NOT all cut from the same cloth, so it’s important that you do your homework and ask questions.

Here are a few questions that you need to ask when dating men with children:

* Were you married to the child/children’s mother? For how long? How did the relationship end?

* Do all of your children have the same mother? What is/was your relationship with each of them?

* How old is your child/children? How long have you and their mother been split up?

* What is your co-parenting arrangement? Do you visit with your child/children? For how long?

* Do you pay child support? Is it through the court system?

* Do you ever see yourself having full-time custody of your child/children? When?

This is not something you want to enter into lightly. A man with children (just like a single mom) will have time and financial responsibilities to them and you have to determine if this is something you as an adult woman can deal with and support. Remember, you are NOT in a competition with his children for time and attention! If anything, you are another healthy adult role model to his children. Do the work to determine NOW if this is something you can live with and be happy. Set your standards and KEEP THEM SET!

In this week’s episode, I wanted to give you some tips on how to determine if your man is emotionally mature and ready for a relationship. In my new book “CHOOSE WELL! A Simple Formula To Determine The Best Man For You”, I discuss maturity as the “bonus” quality that can be underrated by women.

I understand why women don’t put this quality at the top of their list. It isn’t “sexy” or “romantic”. However, if you want a relationship that feels good for the long haul, you want to prioritize emotional maturity! I am going to give your several ways for you to know that a man is a real “grown-up”. Take a listen and let me know what you think of these traits that make a man mature.

 

In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Jade Bianca of Dating After Divorce. We discussed what I believe is one of the MOST important things that I ask that women do when dating and that is to keep themselves SAFE! It is your NUMBER ONE priority to maintain your physical, mental, spiritual, financial, and emotional safety.

Jade gave some really great tips on maintaining your privacy as well when utilizing online dating apps. As much as we want to believe that most men are good healthy masculine men who want to prioritize our safety, there are many men out here that are toxic and self-serving. I encourage every woman to advocate for her OWN wants and needs first, then consider others.

Jade Bianca is a dating coach and matchmaker at Dating After Divorce. Dating After Divorce was created to provide divorcés with effective tools, communication, and insight to find a worthwhile partner. She’s passionate about helping divorcés find their confidence in dating again. Jade loves assisting clients domestically & abroad in their dating journey.

In this week’s podcast episode, I wanted to address the ladies who are dating men that are much YOUNGER or much OLDER than they are. I’ve seen some really interesting situations lately where women are dating men ten to fifteen years younger than them and wonder why things are not working well between them. Likewise, I also see younger women dating men who are much older (fifteen to twenty years older!) and this can have pitfalls as well.

Let me know your thoughts on this topic. What’s the youngest age man you have ever seriously dated and what was the oldest? What were some of the issues you encountered with each of these dynamics? I’m really curious to see what the ladies have to say about this one!

In this week’s episode, I wanted to throw my thoughts in the ring about the recent breakup of Saweetie and Quavo and some of the themes that have been talked about on social media. Saweetie took to Twitter to announce that she is now “single” and hinted that perhaps Quavo had been unfaithful. She also mentioned that she had “emotionally checked out a long time ago” and that she would be leaving “with a deep sense of peace and freedom”.

One of the themes I want to address is that women leave a man emotionally long before their body does. I have had so many men discuss this and how “wrong” it is that they do this. I also want to address something that I have seen a whole lot of men do and that’s ignoring a woman’s cries for help when the relationship is not making her happy anymore. When it’s all said and done, and the woman is fed up and leaves, then the man wants to “work things out”.

The dating and relationship landscape has been getting more and more toxic lately and I want to be a voice of reason and hope for everyone out there who wants to find their potential husband one day. It will require more patience now than ever but believe me, love is NOT canceled!
