This week, we are continuing the podcast series which showcases women who are embodying their main character energy. Last week we heard from Maggie and this time, we welcome Kate and Julianne to the show. They share how they stepped into their best, ?Hell, yes!? and learned to practice radical self-trust. 

If you?ve listened to the podcast recently, you know there are big shifts happening here at Date Brazen. Kate and Julianne were a direct influence on the energetic shift so the work we do is deeper and more impactful in all areas of life.

Vulnerability alert! This week I am sharing some big, exciting news with y?all. In fact, I am taking lessons from the work I do with my clients and applying them to my professional life. I am showing up, being courageous, and trusting that this next path for Date Brazen is the right one. Yes, I said next path! Listen to this episode to hear about the big shift that is coming and what harnessing your main character energy has to do with it all.  

I am going to be talking about diving deeper into your self-trust because when you do, you will feel incredible about every decision in your dating life. I?ll also share what one client said to me and how that one sentence was the catalyst for the deep and meaningful change in my life?s work and mission to support women like you. 

When you create your own freedom in your life, when you show up fully for yourself, when you start to unlearn the ways the patriarchy has kept you playing small, you can create the impact you want to see in yourself and in the world around you.

If you have decided you only want to date one person at a time, but aren?t sure how to go about it - this episode is for you! Today, I am talking all about how to navigate dating multiple people at once, dating one person at a time, how to know what is right for you, and how to express your wants and needs to a potential partner.

This episode is an invitation to give yourself permission to want what you want. If what you want is to date multiple people at once, go for it. If you want to date one person at a time - go for it. You are the CEO of your love life.

This week I am talking about the concept of competition in your dating life. I?ll be sharing how to move from a competitive mindset to a party mindset. Of course, it's hard NOT to think of dating as a competition..., especially when being in a relationship represents "moving forward" into a new stage in life. However, I am here to remind you that's a patriarchal narrative that no longer serves you.  

In this episode, I explore how competition shows up, what it is a reflection of and how you begin to practice self-trust and confidence in order to change your dating mindset for good. 

Dating is not a race to the finish line. It's a party where your only job is to own what you desire, own what you need, get your needs met, and allow the magic of co-creation to do the rest.

Going from single-hood to being partnered can be quite a transition. It can leave you feeling a mixture of emotions, introduce you to new experiences, and uncover new (and old) insecurities. Gorgeous friend, that?s okay!

Today we are going to be talking about the word ?should?. Specifically, what it means if you are shoulding yourself, how it?s affecting your dating life, and how to start choosing an easier path forward. 

I should let it go.
I should have figured this out by now.
I shouldn?t care so much.
I should just push a little harder.

?Should? thoughts such as these are so insidious. Tune in to hear how to start shedding the shoulds from your dating life for good.

Hot-takes From This Episode: 

?Shoulding? is a sign that you need to play with self-compassion

What if should was not an option? What would that sound, look, and feel like?

Why should is a weapon against your own agency.

You deserve to be self-trust-filled and empowered.

The ?should? standard is there to keep you oppressed.

?Should? is your teacher, it is not the enemy. It is here to teach you where to practice self-compassion and unhook from previous norms that kept you in a box.

Why does it feel like shit to put yourself first? This week I am talking all about putting yourself first, why it feels uncomfortable, and what you can do about it. 

When we choose ourselves and set boundaries to protect ourselves, it doesn't always feel like sunshine and roses. In fact, it can feel uncertain and downright scary. 

Here?s the thing, as women in a patriarchal society, we?ve been socialized to put the needs of others before our own. So it?s going to feel shitty when we choose to respond to our own needs first. And that?s okay.  

It?s time to choose YOU, my gorgeous friend. I invite you on this journey.

This week Lauren, one of my clients from the Brazen Breakthrough Mastermind, joins me to share her transformation story. And y?all, her courage to do something that is out of her comfort zone, like being on a podcast, is indicative of her power to show up for herself.

Before the Brazen Breakthrough, Lauren felt as though something was inherently wrong with her because dating didn?t come easily. In this episode, she shares her decision to join the Brazen Breakthrough and explores how it helped her to become the main character in her life, show up for herself, and embrace her power. She also talked eloquently about how her biggest breakthrough had very little to do with dating and everything to do with believing in herself.

?I can?t expect to have an emotionally intelligent partner and be attracted to them.? Woah. If you are thinking to yourself, ?Yes, that?s me. I think that!? Then yes, friend, that is where we are going today. In this episode, I help illuminate this story you have been carrying around about your love life, help you to excavate it, gently, and come out the other side feeling more in control. 

So yes, you have a lot of expectations and desires for your dating life. Your job is not to know how things are going to happen. Your job is to ask for what you want and to learn how to overcome patriarchal narratives that have been keeping you confined. 

Tune into this episode as we hold space for your human experience and rewrite narratives that have been holding you back from the expansiveness of who you are!

Have you ever received bad dating advice from family or friends? And has that advice impacted you in negative ways? Well, this week, I talk about how to deal when you get bad dating advice from people who have no business dishing it out. 

Some of the advice could sound something like:

"Maybe you're single because you asked for too much." 

?Maybe you're single because you didn't lose weight.?

?Maybe you didn't give them enough of a try.?

?Maybe you are just too old.?

Getting bad advice SUCKS. Yes, and, if you think those thoughts to be true, it?s time to breathe new life into the stories you are believing about your love life. This episode is going to help you do just that.

West Elm Caleb is taking social media by storm. In this episode, I break down who West Elm Caleb is and why his dating style, which included love-bombing and ghosting, was causing an uproar online. More importantly, I explain why this entire scenario is a call to action for the dating world.   Alright, if you want to know why I am referring to this as a call to action - here?s a quick hot-take, which I dig deeper in this episode: 

Dating is experiencing a public health crisis. Yes, you read that correctly, my beautiful friend.  The way in which dating has evolved, with dating apps at the center, is deeply affecting our nervous systems. Dating is exhausting and affects our nervous system to the detriment of our health.  

The goal of every dating app is this: to introduce you to someone outside of your social circle and to make money. 

Your job is to take care of your nervous system. 

Your job is to learn to trust yourself so that you can spot the next West Elm Caleb versus someone who is interested in a deeper connection. 

Of course, sometimes shit is going to happen. Both, and - your job is to respond to it with self-compassion. I dive into a lot more in this episode.

Sexuality is at the core of who we are, our identity, and our power. Sometimes due to the stress of dating, people-pleasing, or losing sight of yourself after past relationship trauma; you shut the door to your own sexual identity.

I am talking with Julia Hochstadt, LCSW, about how trauma can show up in your dating life and what you can to do get support. Many of the people I work with also get support from trauma therapists.  Trauma deeply affects dating, their love lives and impacts their healing process. Because I am not an expert on the topic, I invited Julia to share information and resources around abuse, trauma, and dating. 

Trigger warning: In this episode, we talk about the themes of abuse and trauma. If that's something you know wouldn't serve you in your journey today, then please skip this episode.

I want to dive into a lesson I am actively learning in my life, which is to do nothing. I?ve been thinking about how my clients and listeners of Date Brazen can apply this lesson to their dating lives too. So yes, this week, I am inviting you to: Do nothing.

Doing nothing is a key part of the intentional effort you are making. Intentional effort leads to intentional results. BUT, intentional action doesn?t always mean BEING ACTIVE or constantly DOING. No, it can also mean laying down, deleting the dating app for a week (Yes!), and most importantly, being intentional about rest.

This week I am talking about boundaries. Boundaries are one of the most important tools (besides self-compassion) that you have, in your dating arsenal.

In this episode, I share a boundary starter pack of sorts and explain why it may be hard for you to declare your boundaries and offer a strategy that will help you get started. When you declare your boundaries, you also affirm your worthiness. And as you know I often say, you are worthy of what you desire.

This week I am talking with one of my clients, Shwetika about her experience in the Brazen Breakthrough.  Shwetika has a lot of incredible relationships in her life. Yet, dating was something that she did not know how to do in a fulfilling way or in a way that felt like it was on her terms.  Things were cloudy, unsettled, and uncertain. If Shwetika?s story sounds familiar, keep listening.

During the Brazen Breakthrough, she was able to map out her year and her goals, and treat them seriously. Shwetika?s journey has been amazing. And I cannot wait for you to listen to our conversation.

In this episode, I open up about my moment of stuckness, expand on my journey and explain how I hope to share my story moving forward in order to feel more empowered, confident, and healed.  I also encourage you to gently excavate and look at your past stories. Healing is possible and is in progress.

You are spending hours swiping apps, going on dates; and you are not getting out of dating what you are putting in.  And your current ROI (return on investment) may be at the root of your dating frustration. This week I am talking about how reframing your dating ROI can help you to actually see the progress you are making.
