We trace a messy dating triangle to a clean rule: compare partners to your needs, not to each other, then drill into how to vet for upbringing, conflict style, integrity and boundaries. Along the way we reflect on safety, systems that stick and why “no” reveals the truth.
• knowing yourself before you date: boundaries, negotiables, beliefs
• upbringing patterns and how family roles shape expectations
• conflict green flags and red flags that actually matter
• consistency and integrity when no one is watching
• time respect, clear communication and the power of no
• accountability over blame in past stories
• building systems that compound wins across a year
• speaking up for safety even when it kills the vibe
• advice for boy moms on guiding better choices
Decide, plan, sacrifice, shoot or shoot
