In this solo episode, I break down the modern dating scene—flirty, fun, and fear-free. Responding to a listener submission, I dive into the truth about first dates, what makes them worth it (even when they don’t go anywhere), and why they can be powerful tools for self-discovery! Whether you’re dating again after a break, terrified of putting yourself out there, or just wondering if “he has to check every box,” this episode will help you reframe dating as a low-pressure, high-reward experience!
✨ Why first dates aren’t supposed to end in a love story
 ✨ How to use dates as market research for your heart
 ✨ Confidence, chemistry & checklists—what really matters?
 ✨ Real talk: Pressure, patience & personal pace in early dating
 ✨ Reclaiming your energy, magnetism & standards
This one’s for anyone navigating dating with curiosity, intentionality, and self-respect.
🎧 Listen in if you’ve ever wondered:
– “What if I’m just not ready?”
– “Is it okay to not feel sparks right away?”
– “Am I taking this too seriously?”
– “Can I date just for fun… and still be intentional?”
