The Season of You Talkshow

Day 3 is filled with PRACTICAL advice you can take into your dates. These tips may seem simple, but they can make all the difference in you looking like a laaaaaady or you looking like a monster eating a GIGANTIC size piece of lettuce 🥬

A big shout out to Bianca for spending time filming this series with me and pouring into me the entire boot camp and BEYOND! B, you are truly an amazing human and I am lucky to know you! 💛 M

As always let's take a look at Bianca's show notes because they are chef's kiss:

Do you struggle with how to plan a date? Do you know what to do, where to go or who’s going to pay? Today, we round up this Dating Bootcamp series by giving you practical handles that will help you be more prepared before you go out on a date. 

The goal of this series has always been for my single friends to go out on a date. Initiating a hangout with someone you are interested in is a good place to start. Remember these things before you go out: 

• Set healthy boundaries in advance 

• The person who asks is the person who pays 

• Come prepared to have a conversation 

• Give hints not heaps? 

• Listen to the other person 

• Be mindful of the type of food you order 

• Have no form of physical intimacy 

So, if you do the work, put your best foot forward, and take yourself seriously you can find a potential candidate and eventually end up in a real dating relationship. Who knows, you might end up finding your life partner in the process! 

Welcome to dating bootcamp day two! Meagan is busy taking notes and cracking a few jokes during this session and you should too!

Bianca wrote the show notes best, so here they are ✨

Do you know where to meet people online? Have you created a dating profile? On a scale of 1 - 5 where does your dating profile score? If your answer is low, we’re here to help! 

Has it been difficult for you to run into single people lately? Are you wondering where to go, what to do, or who to ask out? I want you to assess 2 things today:

1 Your community - Where are you hanging out? Who are your friends? What are your hobbies? 

2 Your sparkle - Are you going out of your comfort zone to intentionally let others know that you are single like a pringle and ready to mingle? 

Dating is like a taxicab light; if the light is on - you’re signaling that you are ready to date! But before you go out on a quality date, you need to spruce up your profile. That is what Meagan and I will be focusing on today. Listen in to learn more on how to create a dazzling dating profile.

Remember, dating is a season that we move through. The intention is to meet the person who you will hopefully spend the rest of your life with. 

Please if you do this tag @meaganherself and @biancaolthoff, we have been LOVING the stories that have been rolling in!

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.

Meagan has been alchol-less for about 9 years. She has been through many phases of sobriety and now she is at a healthy balance of living life to alcohol ratio. If you are just starting out, knowing your why behind cutting down alcohol, will make the biggest difference between sticking to your guns through the process. When you respect your boundaries, you respect yourself. 

Adult friendships are HARD and no one is talking about it. Lo joined the podcast today to work through and have some hard conversations about letting go of friendships that are no longer bringing life and joy into your life.

Listen, even though you spend hours, days, or even weeks preparing it doesn't mean that you are guaranteed success. Meagan spent a hot minute preparing for an interview and it did not go as planned, and that is okay. Learning to roll with the punches, ride the ebbs and flows builds a stronger sense of bounceback within you. 

It's a whole bunch of NEW in Meagan's life. Welcome to the current happenings of Meagan's new year approach and her reflections on 2022, which you may resonate with. It has been a tough season for Meagan and she is so grateful to kick off the new year with you and your goals!

These is no shame in being single. You are allowed to experience and grow through all different seasons of life. Singleness has taught Meagan so many things and continues to do so. Boundaries within your own heart, understanding who you are and how you experience Joy is SO important. Meagan wants you to know you are not alone. You are not broken. You are allowed this season.
Make the MOST of this season and truly know deep deep down that you are whole, perfect and complete without any other human! PERIOD.

It's funny how life plays out. You go in search of one thing and realize that what you end up leaving with is something completely different.

That is how Meagan's birthday went, she went in wanting to rewrite the story surrounding that day and she came out with a completely different take away one that changed the way she lives her life moving forward.

Please vote if you want to do it LIVE and you would show up and hang out on twicth and have conversations and enjoy a sense of community! 

Belonging can feel like the scariest thing ever. But I challenge you to step outside of your comfort zone and try new community oriented things and BE YOU while doing it.

You can do so much more surrounded by people supporting you than you can do long term alone 💛💛💛

In this episode of the season of you talkshow Meagan dives into her experience as a new believer in church. Meagan is so grateful that one person's yes to preach the gospel in a way that speaks to where she is at, cultural references and just the right amount of beyonce lyrics said YES, because it allowed her to experience Jesus. Meagan goes into the awkward, the uhhhhhhs and the amazing things that can take place in the house of God. Of course Meagan's life can't be simple, because the church she loves in 3,000 miles away. This podcast was recorded in Meagan's hotel room after attending the 4th birthday party at TFH/OC. Meagan still looks like bambi learning how to walk, but there are certain things that have without a shadow of a doubt shifted within her life in the last year of welcoming Jesus in.

Meagan never wants you to feel alone or like you don't belong because YOU DO FO SHO! This is a real and honest experience as someone who is still a faith baby navigating the thing. Look up Bianca Olthoff on Youtube, buy her book on Amazon, run it up.

Let's talk about my body journey. I have gone through so many seasons of body, that I have truthfully lost count. This is a story that for me will never end, but I wanted to start off this new season, sharing a new season I am stepping into.

I hope that my body journey can allow you to see yourself within it and you can find peace in knowing your body is just able to take up space as the next person no matter what the tag on your clothes says.

It's my Jesus birthday! It was 365 days ago when Jesus moonwalked into my life. In so many ways my life has changed. I am beyond grateful every day that I was invited to the dance party to spend my life dancing and building a relationship with Jesus. I hope this takes away some fears around following Jesus and stepping into a life filled with peace and possibility. Shout out to Bianca Olthoff for doing what she's doing, and being a vessel for Jesus in such magical ways 🤍
