EPISODE 007 - Dating in your 30s: Asking the (right) questions!Happy Thursday and welcome back to the podcast! In this episode, I'm diving into the insane world of dating. I'll be sharing my personal dating journey, including my social experiment of going on 50 first dates in 12 months. I'll also discuss the importance of asking high-quality questions during dates to truly get to know someone. From understanding emotional intelligence to unearthing their family patterns, I cover 15 essential questions—and a bonus one!—that you should weave naturally into your conversations. This episode is geared towards helping babes in their thirties navigate dating with intention and curiosity.
