I mean welcome to a front-row seat of Meagan being open real and honest with you. Meagan was hesitant to be this REAL with you, but she knew there were SO many other women and men out there who feel the same way, and what does staying quiet help anyone else?

Now Bianca Olthoff and her team have their ish together, so here are the show notes from the original show, because I couldn't have said it better!

_________________________________________

Have you gone through some type of trauma in past relationships and are hesitant to put yourself out there again? Are you experiencing frustration with your dating life? What if I told you that I want to challenge you to go on a date this month. 

We all know that dating can be risky and uncomfortable but if we're not willing to take a risk there will be no reward. So today, I enlisted the help of Meagan, a courageous listener who has volunteered herself as “tribute” to take a 30-day dating challenge. (Yes, yes I did)

In this first episode of our Dating Bootcamp podcast series, we will be challenging you to: 

• Give yourself permission to go dating again 

• Not get tangled in “Situationships” 

• Get ready to test the waters again 

Let’s get ready for the dating journey! But first, I want you to dig deep and answer the following questions honestly: 

1 Am I ready to date? 

2 Why do I want to date now? 

3 What is my list of 50 qualities I look for on a date? 25? 10?

• What are my 5 non-negotiables?

• Of the 5 non-negotiables, which ones am I holding loosely? 

4. Do I know the risk of love and am I willing to take a risk for the reward? 

5. What are my sexual, financial, and spiritual boundaries? 

6. What information am I sharing too much of? 

7. What are my boundaries regarding time? 

This list might seem like a lot but trust me it’s not. You are creating a baseline, a guideline, a roadmap to help you get more comfortable with who you really are and be confident next time you go out on a date.
