About this episode
Bridgett Blood joins us to discuss the raw realities of dating. We explore the power of showing up authentically from the very first date, the struggles of overcoming societal pressures to use a "stunt double," and the importance of self-trust in building genuine connections. Bridgett shares her personal experiences, highlighting both the joy and loneliness that come with dating, and offers advice on how to handle these emotions. Whether it's the challenge of a simple coffee date or the exhilaration of feeling truly seen, this conversation will change the way you approach relationships. Tune in to hear how being true to yourself can make a difference in your dating life!
