my biggest take way was to trust the process and trust myself. This program does work if you put in the work!

thank you! Could literally not have done it without you! My takeaways are many but especially: 1) Trust the coaches, they really know what they are doing! 2) Don’t trust the story in your head—challenge and flip thoughts using the intentional mindset model. It was always so much easier for me to cut a guy off quickly for (perceived) slights. 3) Lead with vulnerability even when it feels uncomfortable. There is a reason why the coaches ask how you were vulnerable in dates and in conversation. The right guy will hold a safe space for you and respond in kind. It is femininity at its core!

Some of my biggest takeaways:
1. Trust the process, no matter how intimidating or unnatural it may feel. Every step and assignment is intentional and has a purpose.
2. It was crucial for me to check my ego at the door throughout the dating program and process.
3. Be open to dating everyone! If I had continued to be hyper-focused on dating black men, I wouldn’t have been able to keep my dating momentum. In 2 1/2 months, only TWO black men got through the initial funnel.
4. Asking others for their “highs and lows” of the day was an organic way for me to practice vulnerability. Even today, I use this with my guy and my direct reports at work. I’ve found most people to be into it, and they began asking me for highs and lows without being prompted!
5. Telling close friends about my participation in the GYG program helped with my feelings of shame about previous toxic relationships. Both my single and married friends were fascinated by the program and opened up about their dating snafus and regrets. It helped show me I am not alone and reinforced that no one has taught us how to date.

Thank you everyone!!!! ❤️
My biggest takeaways are:
1. The funnel is the best thing that happened to me.
2. Speaking from my feelings and being vulnerable has so much power.
3. Having this community and the support from the coaches has been so encouraging and I feel grateful to be here 😊

1) The funnel works
2) A man who prioritizes you will have no problem moving the conversation to email (if that’s what you want/need)
3) “Would my future husband do this?” or “Would my future husband treat me this way?” is such a simple yet consistently dependable sanity check
4) Often times that trigger you may experience is about you and not your partner/gold medalist (que “The Model”‼️)
5) All things work together for our highest and best good… the guy(s) you BOL are not the be all, end all. You have options sis.
So many more, but I’ll leave these here for now ☺️

my biggest takeaway was I finally learned how to use my voice and set boundaries. When I had problems or issues, I would do so in ways that was demeaning not realizing that I was just in a hyper independent/survival mode, not actually living. I had a voice but I was using it all wrong. I had to sit with myself and get REAL! With all the therapy and tools that I’ve learned from this program, I had to do some rethinking, relearning, and reparenting. There were traumas and triggers holding me back and once I realized that I was sitting in victim mentality and that I should see myself as a survivor, it was like scales fell off my eyes. My guy is everything that I’ve been praying for and what I wrote down. I also realized that the guy that I thought was my type was my downfall. He’s nothing like what I go for but it was his energy, his kindness, his patience with me, how he gives me space to talk and listens to me, I’ve learned new things about me and most important, how I feel completely safe, vulnerable, and comfortable with him! For so long I’ve operated in my masculine and just micromanaged all of my relationships. He has truly given me space to be feminine which no one in my dating life has ever given me that. I can be vulnerable and set boundaries and he’s on the same page. I can’t wait to share everything with him!🥰😍♥️
