Balancing ambition and love isn’t easy—and sometimes we’re the ones making it harder. In this episode, we explore modern dating standards, especially for driven, entrepreneurial women. Are we being too picky, or are we just unwilling to settle? We unpack financial expectations, lifestyle compatibility, emotional availability, and what it really means to date while building a legacy. Get ready to laugh, reflect, and maybe question your own dating checklist.
Key Discussion Points:
- The impact of ambition on romantic relationships
- Dating standards vs. unrealistic expectations
- Gender gaps in financial priorities
- How to date without dimming your light
Takeaways:
- Wanting more isn’t a red flag.
- Your standards aren’t too high—they’re just finally aligned.
- Compatibility isn’t just about romance—it’s about unified vision.
