Dating ain’t always it, but there are options and things you can do to keep your sanity.

Sometimes, the frogs show up before the princes and trust me, I’ve been there! In this episode of The Real Connect podcast, I’m joined by one of my favorite guests, Vincent Tobias Bell.

We each spill some unexpected teas about our dating lives.

Thank goodness, I'm no longer single, ya'll.

You'll learn why I say this when you watch this episode.

I’m sharing stories from my messy dating past (frogs and all) while Vincent reveals how he has met the best partners, AND he makes an announcement I was not ready for!

Key Takeaways:

1. Red flags to spot before you waste your time.

2. How Vincent navigates dating with intention and success.

3. Lessons from my wild dating past and what finally worked.

Dating is a journey, but it doesn’t have to end in a dead end. Tune in for laughs, real talk, and maybe even a little hope.
