The following podcast is a deer media production.

Hey friend, it's Nicole, host of the Nicole Walters podcast.

Here's where we laugh, we cry,

and we grant ourselves grace as we do life together.

Let's get started.

Hey friend.

So I was thinking about this chat as I was driving in,

and I know that in our last chat,

I was talking about what it was like preparing myself

for the concept of dating, and how it was a two-part process.

So, oh, heads up, of course.

If you've got the tiniens or the littles around,

this isn't exactly headphone conversation,

like I'm not going to use any funky language,

but it may bring up things that you might want to chat offline

with with your littles,

because you are talking about cornupier things.

And if you are a younger folk, meaning millennial or better,

I want you to know that this stuff is all stuff you're going to need.

I got to tell you it wasn't too long ago that I was in your shoes

in my late 20s, early 30s,

and I like to embrace that I still am there, at least in spirit.
