How has dating changed for me since I’ve released a podcast?  How are men on dates reacting when I say in my spare time I record podcast episodes about modern dating?  Listen to this episode to find out!  

I also share:

•  A special acknowledgement to the women who have walked away from relationships where they were not treated right and know they   deserve better!  #singleandnotsettling

•  A social experiment I am hooked on that breaks up a couple to save them, will it work and what it now means when a guy says he is looking    “to see what is out there”

•  What it means to show up as your authentic self on dates and if you feel you are not, what you can do to truly align with your authentic self      and find the right man for you!

This episode of Single and NOT Settling is dedicated to a dear friend, Kate who was taken away from us too soon.

On today’s episode, Vanessa Maree vents about what NOT to say to single women, questions and statements like:

• Why are you still single??

• Advice such as “you’ll meet someone when you least expect it!”

• That eye roll comment "I’m so glad I didn’t have to go on dating apps to meet my husband!”

• AND the worst one of all...."maybe you are too picky!"

Vanessa Maree says everything that you are thinking but are maybe too scared to say in this unfiltered episode!

If you resonate with this or have other annoying questions asked as a single woman, please send me a DM on Instagram and let me know.

Dating apps!  (enough said, right?!)

Why have dating apps become so tedious and hard?! Should I be the one to text first, why hasn’t he responded to my message?!  So many questions…

In this episode, I discuss:

• How to spot a scam or a catfish!!

• How dating apps have evolved and have changed the face of dating – good or bad?

• My 24 hour rule!  What is it and why?!

• I offer advice on questions to ask to make sure you have matched with someone who aligns with that you are looking for.

• A challenge to everyone to “look up”!

….and lots more!

Welcome to my first episode!

This is such a surreal moment and I am so grateful for all of the things that have led to the creation of this podcast and my FIRST episode!

In this episode I share: 

• My “why” and why I decided to be the self-proclaimed WINGWOMAN!

• What does that even mean Wednesday – why hearing what men think can help us in dating!

• How 2020 was the year that HAD to happen and why I am grateful and found a positive out of a very BIG negative.

• The time when I was in a comfortable long term relationship and why I stayed there too long.

• I talk about forgiveness and how I forgave those (aka men) who hurt me and how I forgave myself.

• Why you should not wait until you are in a relationship to do the things YOU want do to and live your best single life NOW!
