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.

Welcome back, my homie, to part two of this freaking incredible episode with my dude, Devon Franklin,

0:06.0

who is teaching us how to navigate the scary freaking world of modern dating while staying actually true to ourselves and our core beliefs.

0:14.9

It is hard, but he's got so many juicy tips to share with us today.

0:19.6

And we're here to remind you that if you're struggling

0:22.2

right now, you're not alone and we are here to help. Now, if you're trying to figure out if your

0:28.3

current bow is actually the forever bow, then stay tuned because this episode is so freaking

0:34.1

packed with tips that you can actually take and use. Now if you haven't listened to

0:38.4

part one yet, stop what you're doing right now. Go back and start with that episode right before

0:43.0

you listen to this. Trust me when I say it's going to be so worth it for you to learn from the

0:49.4

very beginning. I love this episode so much with him that I didn't want to stop recording. There was

0:56.7

so much to learn that you better freaking believe I'm going to ask him to come back for another

1:01.0

round because there's so many nuggets that he shared and so many that he can keep sharing.

1:05.9

So without further ado, here is part two to my inspiring, freaking awesome, mind-blown conversation with Devon Franklin.

1:42.6

or Lisa, it's all your fault.

1:43.7

If there's something wrong,

1:45.0

and even my relationship with my husband,

1:46.9

where let's say we can't see eye to eye, I'm like, well, I can't force him to see it my way.

1:51.2

So how can I take ownership?

1:52.7

How am I thinking about this?

1:54.4

And then what are the things that maybe I need to pivot or look at?
