498: Dating Yourself: The Ultimate Self Worth Reset


Listen Later

Today, I'm joined by Sonia Flores, someone I've known and worked with for years, and after a team meeting where she dropped a phrase that stopped us all in our tracks, I knew we had to bring it to the podcast. The term is "Mantourage Dating," and it's a powerful way to date from self-worth, boundaries, and grounded confidence.

This conversation is about dating, but it's also about so much more. If you're not dating, don't skip this episode. What Sonia shares applies to long-term partnerships, marriages, and every relationship you have, because the real shift happens when you stop making it about them and start making it about you.

In this episode, we explore:

  • How "Mantourage Dating" works and why it helps you stay grounded
  • Why dating gets easier when you stop chasing outcomes and focus on your own experience
  • The mindset shift that changed everything for Sonia
  • How to date with clear standards, boundaries, and self-respect
  • Why having a list of what you want (places, experiences, energy) keeps you out of people-pleasing
  • How self-worth changes what you tolerate, what you attract, and what you choose
  • Why this concept applies even if you're already in a committed relationship
