“Feeling great- lunch date with J. This was our 3rd date. He asked what I was doing this afternoon and told him I was getting my nails done. Nonchalantly he asked me where I go to get them done. When I arrived at the salon, he called ahead and bought me a manicure and pedicure. 🙂. First time this has ever happened to me!👍

Just ended date #2 with K. Had another great evening of conversation. Would have never really given him a chance in the past, but so far he is a super guy! Asked me out for Friday. Still want to date others- I have to say overall I’m enjoying myself. Slow and steady. 👍”

“Awesome webinar today. You touched my heart, validated my struggles, my pain and my desire to find love at 55.”

“It’s amazing how my view of men has changed. I used to think no man was ever capable of loving a woman and that they all cheated or treated you badly. I see now that men want intimacy too. I love watching The Bachelorette and seeing these men fall in love with Becca. I see now this belief I had came from me being treated so badly by men in my past. I’m so excited to know that it’s possible for me to find a partner who I’m comfortable with and yes, will truly love me! I wish I knew all this sooner but oh well, better late than never! 😁”

“Good morning ladies, I want to share a great experience I had last night. Despite having deleted the Dating apps, there was a guy I was chatting with before that had my number. We had a first date last night and I was open, inviting, and felt a good connection. I was focused on his positive qualities and on having FUN. Right before the date I had a session with Maya that really helped me approach the date with a warm, fun, receptive spirit. I didn't focus on the negative traits I felt like I had been doing in the past. I thought – this guy is adorable – and we even had a great kiss at the end! Is he Mr Perfect or Mr Right for me? I don't know! But I'm excited to get to know him with no pretense! Thank you Maya & to the entire group for your support :)”

“Wins: I have been in a relationship now for 5 months. 3 of which were us consistently dating and 2 of which have been us deciding to be in partnership. Also a Win: I am probably not going to be in partnership with this person anymore soon, as a couple of deal breakers have come up that I wasn't previously aware of/hadn't paid attention too. Of course it hurts, I am very attracted to this person and there are qualities in him that are very admirable. But this has been the most mature relationship I have ever been in… I have been the most mature I have ever been, I have been very secure and consistent, and I am standing by my must haves and my deal breakers.

This is a major win for me as I usually would attach quickly and then stay in relationships long after it had become really obvious (usually in that first little while…but i wasn't very good at navigating that) that we were not a match.

Since taking this course I have consistently switched gears to thriving rather then surviving, to treating myself with much more respect care and compassion, to doing things I love, and to living out loud with a lot of love and openness. Hard yes's and Hard Nos.”
