In the first of this two-parter, I invite you into a conversation about becoming or rediscovering hope and eagerness about dating. Join me for this deep dive into how becoming “pro dating” and a pro at dating means could radically shift your perspective on dating and creating long term relationships. 

Tune in to hear…

  1. What it means to be Pro-Relationship rather than Pro-Self
  2. How to approach dating like you would in a relationship
  3. The 5 characteristics of “Secure Functioning Dating”
  4. Developing a Pre and Pro-Dating Mindset
  5. Ideas for meeting dating partners IRL rather than relying solely on apps
