We discuss the importance of understanding non-negotiables and the courage needed to walk away from relationships that don't meet your core values. Our episode is filled with laughs, revelations, and encouragement, urging listeners to embrace their dating journey with an open mind, a sense of humor, and a firm commitment to finding meaningful connections.
