20: I Know What I Deserve Now and This Is NOT It

 

I Know What I Deserve Now and This Is NOT It

 A few weeks ago, I went for dinner with two of my besties and as we enjoyed our food, I revealed all about a new guy on the scene who would be taking me on a date 4 days later.

They suggested I record a pre-date episode that I could reflect back on after this initial date.

And that’s exactly what this episode was *supposed* to be.

But something happened……

In this episode of The Date with Confidence Podcast, we’re having a candid and empowering chat about setting boundaries and knowing your worth when it comes to dating. It’s not the episode I had planned but it’s packed full of powerful reminders we all need from time to time.

Here are the key topics covered:

1. The Anticipated Date: Initially, the plan was to delve into the pre-date excitement, expectations, and the lead-up to a potentially exciting rendezvous with a brand new match.

2. The Unexpected: The message I had a feeling was coming but didn’t want to receive and why I was so outraged by it.

3. Boundaries and Self-Worth: I’m sharing how proud I am of my own personal growth when it comes to setting strong boundaries and recognising my own value. Gone are the days where I’ll settle for second best.

4. Empowerment through Experience: Each disappointing encounter reinforces my commitment to high standards and self-worth. I want to encourage you to adopt a similar mindset to the one I share, recognising when a situation doesn't align with your value.

Remember, you're not alone in navigating the dating world, and setting boundaries is a powerful act of self-love. Until next time, stay empowered and confident.
