Summary

Have you seen these viral reels about a “high value woman?” Friend, that messaging is NOT it.

According to the internet, men are either looking for a woman that will do everything besides make the money, or one that will “retire them.” But friend, we’ve got to expect more for ourselves and for our daughters.

With three daughters in their dating years, I’m having these conversations myself. How do you find a great man - one that is going to show up to life with the same energy you are - when things are just different out there?

I am no dating or marriage expert but looking back at my twenties and thirties I can tell you this - look for the character not the commas.

Let’s discuss how character proceeds commas and why we cannot settle for a lazy man.

Girl, you may just NEED this chat so thanks for being here!
