EPISODE 142: DANCE YOUR WAY TO LOVE! - The biggest collaboration I have ever done!
Gumball Love Podcast
I didn’t realize how low my confidence still was until I began ballroom dancing. Looking back, I was showing up for dates dressed up, with my hair and makeup done, but I still felt heavy and uncomfortable in my own skin.

info_outlineA lot of coaches out there will tell you feeling butterflies around a new guy is a bad sign, because it means your nervous system is recognizing danger. This just isn't totally true, butterflies CAN actually be a good thing, as long as they're not overtaking your ability to spot the potential red flags.
In this episode, I'm breaking down:
- What the sensation of butterflies actually is from a physiological perspective
- Why, from a physiological perspective, butterflies aren't always a bad thing
- My personal experience with butterflies and how it's gone both good and bad
- When feeling butterflies becomes a bad thing
- How you can distinguish between when the butterflies are a warning sign vs. just excitement
Feeling uncomfortable on dates, like you have to perform, be someone you're not, anxious wondering what he's thinking of you? I help my clients feel totally confident in their skin on dates, and to know how to spot the red flags. You don't have to be currently dating to work with me, in fact, it's great if you're not currently dating!
