Summary

Dating these days is a whole journey, and today we’re getting into all of it with listener dating scenarios... chasing sparks and butterflies, feeling almost too content being single, and not letting the fear of an ending keep you in something that isn’t right. We’re talking about raising the bar (because it's on the damn floor), why men come on strong and then go cold, and how to finally break the cycle of attracting the same emotionally unavailable guys. We’re digging into situationships, why single moms have nothing to fear in the dating world, and what it actually looks like for women to take their power back and date from a place of confidence instead of scarcity.

0:00.0	The following podcast is a Dear Media production.
0:04.4	This is Let's Be Honest with Kristen Cavalery, a podcast all about getting real and open on everything from sex, relationships, reality TV, wellness, family, and so much more.

0:24.1	How is everybody doing?
0:27.3	I just got back from L.A.

0:38.4	So I'm excited for you guys to hear those. Really fun. And I had my 20-year high school reunion,

1:39.4	You guys go to dinner and you're all sharing your dating stories.
