Hi everybody, welcome to the women's dating and confidence podcast. My name is Amber, and today I have a really special episode for you. One of my former clients decided to come on the podcast and share her story of how she went from dating to exclusive. And recently, she emailed me and let me know

that they actually got engaged. So this episode was recorded a few months ago before they were

engaged. And it's really cool because you can actually kind of hear her thought process around

having some of

these bigger conversations about the future and how that can also be kind of nerve-wracking,

but also so much more all of the lessons that she learned along the way in meeting this person.

So I'm really excited to get into this.

Before we get into it, I do just want to acknowledge that it's been a while since you've heard from me on this podcast if you're a regular listener.

I don't want to dedicate the whole podcast episode to that topic just because I'm really excited about what this client had to share.

And I'd rather create a separate episode to give you a little update on that.

And lastly, if you haven't already, make sure you get my free guide called copy and paste text

for when he's pulling away or acting flaky.

The link for that is going to be in the show notes of this episode.

All right, let's get into it.

Welcome to the Women's Dating and Confidence Podcast. Thank you so much for joining me today.

Thanks for having me.

So let's get started with talking a little bit about where you began this journey,

you know, possibly before we met, of course, listening to the podcast. But basically, where were you at when

we first spoke? Um, in a nutshell, pretty desperate, I would say. Um, so I had been in a relationship

with, um, a man for pretty much all of my 20s.

We broke up right before I turned 30.

And I had never had to date during that whole time.
