Swimming Lessons

14. The Cry Count: Ultimate Story Times (Part 1). Hey besties!! AHH i can't believe I'm talking about this but it's whateverrr - anything for content (baby content). In this episode, I break down stories from numerous hook-ups and break down the dos and don't of hook-up culture. This is essentially going to be a two-three-part series mostly talking about the past men in my dating career.  Note: I'm completely OVER the situationships/relationships I've built with each man mentioned. In no way am I using this episode as petty-ness for all the things that have happened while I was with them - all actions are respectfully my own and I wasn't influenced into doing anything I was not comfortable with. That being said, EVERY. SINGLE.DETAIL is taken light-hearted and is a joke. Going forward, if any of the content/stories you find offensive, please send me a dm - i would love to hear from you about the explicitness of the content. If you are any of the men mentioned in this video, I'm not sorry; this is all funny to me now and surely has left itself in the past :) enjoy. Drinking Game: Take a shot for every time i: (1) talk in circles, (2) repeat information, and (3) every codename mentioned. Happy drinking. @swimminglessonspodcast @marifegumat

11. Red Flags Are Moments of Hesitation That Determine Our *Destination*. Hey bestie! I'm back, (slightly) rested and at it this week with a new episode where I address some red flags in dating/relationships. I've formulated a quick list of a couple of signs that I have experienced in my short time in the dating game but I believe a lot of this stuff is relevant haha. Also, someone take me to Made by Marcus, I'm running low on ice cream (again)(sorry not sorry). @Swimminglessonspodcast @MarifeGumat

This week I tell you about my ice cream (I'm lactose intolerant) obsession, and a TV show I'm currently dying over + I recommend this new Netflix series for ya'll (The One). I deep dive into some seggy questions and get deep with a few. Okay, love ya'll, enjoy this one ;) I hate playing 21 questions with men on dating apps so I figure I'd save myself the trouble and address them all here. @swimminglessonspodcast @marifegumat

Episode 4: When They Know A Place and They Take You To Rock Bottom (and How To Get Yourself Back Out). HELLOOO! don't hate me but I'm back on the dating apps (sorry) and I tell you how I got banned already !! This week we're diving into everything about toxic people and environments and how to avoid them. I break down what "toxic" means and provide you with tips on how to recognize it and get past being in a toxic relationship/friendships. My question for this topic is: why do we attract toxic (men and women) and how do we situate ourselves in it? Plus, thoughts from a therapist's perspective on the topic.  @marifegumat @swimminglessonspodcast

Swimming Lesson #2: Change Your Mindset So You Don't Fall For Potential, Again. I talk about my dating life and why having dating "experience" shouldn't matter. I explain some of my experiences I've noticed about dating while on a (short) break and some of the mishaps I caught while "dating". I reflect on setting a better mindset and steps to take diving back into the dating world.
