Summary

The "S" word...the dirtiest word in dating. No one wants to settle. And we're 100% advocating that you never settle again. But all too often we focus on the wrong things when trying not to settle – and sometimes end up settling even more than we realize. We're discussing the ultimate settling paradox, the actual definition of settling, and the two things to do to make sure you never settle again.

0:00.0	What's the one thing about your health you wish someone had told you years ago? Well, for me,
0:05.4	it's how important the gut is. Truly, the gut is the foundation of overall health and vitality.
0:12.1	It's not just about digestion. The gut affects everything from your energy levels and mood to
0:18.5	weight management and even longevity. And while most gut supplements contain
0:22.9	probiotics or probiotics and prebiotics at best, Bioma contains all three essential ingredients
0:30.2	your gut needs. Visit gobioma.com slash datable today. That includes prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics. Each ingredient is
0:40.6	science-backed and third-party tested. Just take two capsules before breakfast and take the guesswork out
0:46.5	of feeling your best. Visit gobioma.com slash datable today. That's g-o-b-i-o-o-m-a-com slash d-A-A-B-A-O-M-A dot com slash D-A-A-A-B-L-E. So I've tried a lot of things that
1:00.2	claim to make life easier, but Nick's leak-proof period underwear is one of the only brands that
1:05.2	truly delivers. I no longer wear clunky pads or toxic tampons, and the defining moment for me was when I was climbing
1:12.1	Mount Kilimanjaro living in fear that my period would come early and then I remembered I brought my
1:18.0	trusty Nix period underwear and that fear completely subsided. There's no way I could have been
1:23.4	changing pads and tampons at 19,000 feet. So Nix K-N-I-X has completely changed how I feel about my
1:29.8	period. Their leak-proof technology looks, feels, and washes like normal undies, but have a range
1:35.5	of absorbencies for your lightest to heaviest days. Up to six super tampons, so you are totally
1:41.3	covered. Plus, Nix has patented bonded edges to prevent side leaks. And with buttery soft, stretchy fabric and cuts like thong, bikini, boy short, high rise, and more, you'll find just the right fit. So head to Nix.com and you'll see why I love Nix. Don't forget to use code datable for 20% off your order. Get leakproof undies, amazing bras, and more. That's K-N-I-X.com,
2:04.4	code d-A-T-E-A-B-L-E, Nix.com. Hi, I'm U-E-S-U. And I'm Julie Craftchick.

2:15.6	relationships. Welcome to Datable.
2:21.8	Hello, everybody. Welcome back. Ah, so much to talk about today. We have a good one for you
2:31.8	all and we're so glad to be back. What have you all been up to?
2:36.8	Let's have a conversation, a two-way conversation with people who can't talk back to us.
