Welcome to Season 2 of Successful: The Podcast!
In this season kick-off episode, we got to know Becky Daniels, a self-described “connector”, “master mainfestor”, and co-founder of Micropolitan Matchmakers, an organization focused on helping people find BIG love in small towns. Becky emphasizes that dating is not just another job, and yet many women turn dating into another project with deadlines, to-dos, and milestone markers. She reminds us that dating is supposed to be a journey of fun and self-discovery, two things that she also seeks to incorporate into her own life, not just in dating, but in her day job and side business. We talk about finding flow as we pursue our passions, honoring our habits, and creating space in our lives to let “magic” happen.
Key Takeaways:
- Like Becky did, listen to what you’re passionate about and also have a knack for - what are you good at that you enjoy, and how might you turn that into a business that you take seriously?
- Dating is meant to be fun! It’s an opportunity to not only get to know prospective partners but also get to know ourselves, including what we value, what our love languages are, and how we want our future partner to make us feel.
- When dating, our mindset is key! It’s important to let go of defined constraints and formulas we create of how things “should” be. Rather, we need to welcome the process, let go of timelines, and “feel” our way throughout the dating journey.
- Honoring our habits is an excellent way to make room for “flow” and for “magic” to happen. For Becky, those habits include journaling, meditating, and getting enough sleep. If you don’t honor the daily habits that serve you, you’re robbing yourself of future energy.
- Routines are important but also make sure you’re listening to yourself. As women, we can’t assume that we’ll feel the same energy every day or every week. We need to plan around our unique circadian rhythms and cycles.
- Creating magic in your life is simple: relax! Tune into what you want and how you want to feel and put that vibe out into the universe. Things will happen when they’re supposed to happen.
