Did y'all know that dating was supposed to be fun? I must've missed that memo, but I am so grateful to have certified dating and relationship coach Alison Wellington here with us this week to get us all the way together!

Alison starts by diving into why we aren't enjoying dating. Spoiler: It's because we don't even know what we're looking for! She walks us through ideating and identifying our 5 non-negotiables we should be looking for in a partner, and her incredible strategy for dating, also known as the SSS approach.

In the midst of all of the gems dropped, Alison explains why she personally doesn't identify as a strong independent woman and how, in relationships, codependency is a good thing.

We end our conversation discussing how while you should be attracted to your partner, using one of your five negotiables on surface level requirements such as their height could be blinding you from what you really need in a partner.

I tried to pull more dating tips out of Alison, but lucky for us, she is hosting a live Dating 101 workshop next Sunday, June 6th at 12pm EST.  The workshop is usually $141, but head to bookalison.com to register for only $47!! I will definitely be in attendance and can't wait to see you all there, too. 

So we have some homework this week, y'all! I want to know your non-negotiables and your feedback on this one! Tag  @ErinCeaser and @AlignwithAlison to continue the conversation and tell us yours. As always, if you love conversations like this, subscribe and leave a review on the platform of your choice. It helps us reach even more people who may need to hear this.

Love you all!
