    Episode 11: What No One Tells You About Online Dating: A Survival Guide

    Online dating today feels like a chaotic mix of swipes, ghosting, and situationships—with a sprinkle of emotional whiplash and some surprise married folks thrown in. In this episode, I’m keeping it brutally honest about the realities of dating in a digital age. I share lessons from my own experience (and mistakes), safety tips every woman should know, and how to avoid turning red flags into projects. Plus, if you’ve got a single friend, I’ll share how to actually show up for them in a way that’s helpful—not hurtful. This one’s part dating PSA, part survival guide, and all heart.

In this episode, I spill the royal tea on how I lost myself in relationships, why it happens even when our hearts are in the right place, and how I finally stepped off the throne to reclaim my own life. If you're tired, overgiving, and wondering when it’s your turn to feel seen- this one’s for you. Long live choosing you.
