Blakely and Maia sit down for a fun, honest, and sister-style conversation about the beginning stages of dating aka the ‘soft launch’ stage. 

The girls dive into what it actually looks like to start dating with intention—without overcomplicating it or sucking the joy out of it. From those early stages of figuring out if you even like someone, to discerning whether it’s worth continuing, they unpack the balance between wisdom and just letting things unfold.

They talk through practical green flags to look for, red flags to be aware of, and how to stay grounded in your values while still enjoying the process. But the conversation doesn’t just focus on the other person—they also turn the lens inward, encouraging you to assess yourself too:  Are you dating with clarity? Are you inviting God into the process?

With a strong emphasis on building Godly relationships and dating intentionally, Maia and Blakely remind listeners that dating doesn’t have to feel heavy or pressure-filled. It can be thoughtful and fun. You can ask meaningful questions, grow in self-awareness, and still laugh, and enjoy the experience.

Whether you’re brand new to dating or just trying to approach it in a healthier way, this is your invitation to step in with both intention and joy.
