In this episode, I’m talking with one of my listeners, Danielle, about dating in your 30s, putting yourself out there in real life, and how taking the pressure off can make dating more enjoyable.

Danielle shares how she’s been expanding her social circle, trying new experiences, and approaching dating with a “do it for the story” mindset. We talk about getting clear on what you want, taking initiative when you meet someone you’re interested in, and why it’s worth putting yourself out there even when it doesn’t lead to a date.

Balancing being happy single with looking for a relationship



Meeting new people without making dating the only goal



Our experiences with Timeleft events
