In this special crossover episode of Modern Latina in Midlife, I'm sharing a conversation where I was the guest, interviewed by my friend, mentor, and client Michelle Chalfant on her show. What started as a casual team-meeting moment turned into a powerful discussion about something I tried while I was burnt out on dating: "Mantourage Dating." But here's the twist… this isn't just about dating apps or finding "the one." It's about self-worth. Boundaries. Attachment patterns. And the energetic shift that happens when you stop dating from lack and start choosing yourself...first. I break down how I turned dating into a self-love practice (yes, really), why it helped me detach from outcomes, and how that same mindset can deepen any relationship, whether you're single, partnered, married, or in the middle of redefining what love looks like in midlife.

Highlights

• Why "Mantourage Dating" isn't about playing games, it's about dating from self-worth

• The mindset shift that changed everything: making dating about me, not them

• How I created a "fun-first" dating strategy (outfits, restaurants, experiences, joy)

• The surprising way this approach reduces anxious attachment and fantasy spirals

• Why your energy and standards can change who you attract (even on apps)

• The real lesson: becoming the person you want to attract before they arrive

• How this applies to long-term relationships and marriages (yes, still date your partner)

• My 3 personal "rules" if you want to try this approach

• The abundance reframe that removes desperation: there's more where that came from
