Hello, Queen. Welcome back to the podcast. I am always so happy to connect with you. It always feels so good every single week back here on the date with since podcast. And I am very excited about today's episode because the theme has been coming up quite a bit lately in my clubhouse rooms with my clients, with random people I see on social media.

And I'm like, okay, it's time to talk about it.

But before I go into that, I would like to share a little story.

Many of you know that I work from different places. Like sometimes I work in a

co-working space, but most of my mornings, I'm working out of Panera. And when I'm working

out of Panera, I'm normally hanging out or like connecting with the older people that are there, especially like the older men that come in and drink their coffee and have their bagels.

They like the joke and teas and just create small talk.

It's a lot of fun.

This particular day, there was an older white gentleman

looked to be like in his 70s. And he sat near me and he commented on the fact that I was

working there. He was like, you look like you're working hard over there. And I'm like, I am. I am working hard over here.

And he's like, you know, it must be nice to just work where you want to work at. And he said,

what do you do for a living? And a lot of times I normally don't get into what I do because

when I tell people I'm a dating coach, it usually leads to more questions

and then longer conversation. I just generally say that, you know, I'm an entrepreneur. But this

particular guy, I was like, yeah, I'll share. I said, I'm a dating coach. And he didn't get shocked like a lot

of people do or start having a lot of questions about what I do or make jokes about what I do as if it's not a real career.

I get that a lot.

But he looked at me and he said, you are needed.

He said, you are needed.

And he proceeded to tell me about his daughter who got wrapped up in a troublesome marriage with a man who had addictions.

And if she had someone like me, she probably wouldn't have made that choice.
