    100. Finding love on the apps after having a baby at 40 (listener story)
    Aug 30 2024
    In this episode, you'll hear from a Dating Intentionally listener named Sara who decided to take her future into her own hands and start a family on her own before meeting her fiance on Bumble. Sara walk us through how she decided to have a child on her own at age 40, then through her experience dating (even though it was so short - she met her fiance quickly)! I love this story because it's important to hear experiences from folks who don't follow what society deems is the right path (meet someone, get married, then have kids). You can do it in whatever order you want/makes sense for your life.

I speak from experience as I share the reflection questions I used to dream up an amazing life for myself without a partner... while looking for one simultaneously. Don't skip this one if you're single and want to shift your mindset. QUESTIONS: * If I don’t like it here, where should I live? * How do I want to spend my time? What do I want my lifestyle to be? * How will I make my life meaningful without a romantic relationship? * What kind of friend and daughter do I want to be? * How will I show up for the people in my life? * How do I want to spend my money and what are my financial goals as a single person? * If I don’t meet anyone in the next few years, will I choose to have kids on my own? * If I don’t get married, what does the best version of my life look like?
