Love notes from our podcast subscribers
"Lori’s dating advice and one-month coaching program were very easy to digest and simple to incorporate into your daily routine. I was single for a few years and had no intentions of jumping back in the dating pool till I started listening to Lori’s podcasts.
I started off easy by listing out my non-negotiables and went from there. I never would have considered doing that as a first step as I thought that was too premature, however, Lori made it clear and simple that in order to start dating others and letting them into your life, you need to have a clear definition of what YOU are looking for first.
Her methods have given me a new perspective on dating that makes the process slightly easier and more fun. She constantly reiterates that in order for the dating process to work, you have to put in the effort and that’s where I was struggling in the beginning but as the dates went on and I got the hang of things, the dating process got easier and started being fun.”- Kelly H.W.
