Summary

This is a fan fav episode. What up homies! Can I tell you how excited I am to have Devon Franklin joining us again for another powerful conversation? Whether you’re dating, divorced or happily single, we’re diving into the love lessons you wish you knew sooner to build a long-lasting relationship. None of us wants to waste time, energy, and effort on the wrong person. But the spoiler is that this is more about you than the partner you choose to date. Devon is a preacher, success coach, and award winning film and tv producer who’s back on the dating scene after a recent divorce. This conversation is about empowering you to prioritize yourself in order to create the healthy loving relationships you deserve. We kick-start part one of this two-part episode diving into: *Why compatibility and love mean nothing when your core beliefs are not aligned. *We talk about the danger of compromised values that will break down any relationship, *And, we get into why longing for love makes you a greater risk (it’s the dating trap you have to be be careful to avoid) Devon delivers ideas and insights about dating that will improve your ability to date well and navigate potential partners because you learned to selfishly focus on you first! Today’s episode is about being empowered and mindful of never compromising yourself or your core beliefs for the sake of inauthentic love.
