On this podcast episode about modern dating, Denalee interviews one of her favorite people of all time (I may be a little biased), Courtney Chissus, a 31-year-old Christian conservative woman who’s staying busy navigating the craziness of the modern dating life and being in a relationship.

Not only does being a millennial make it challenging enough, but being what feels like a minority amidst our current social climate in her faith, traditional values, and longtime dream of finding a spiritual leader of the family and being a stay-at-home mom someday all contribute to the difficultly she regularly faces in this process we call dating. And let her tell you, dating nowadays is an entirely different change of pace than it was even a couple of years ago. According to our favorite person... not in a great way either.

You don’t want to miss this one. It’s honest, real, and pretty entertaining (at least if you share our type of humor). If you like laughing, you’ll enjoy yourself.

Part 2 of Toxic Femininity Conversation

In part 2, we discuss lies toxic femininity sells us. We have bought into many of them only to learn our lives were damaged. We discuss issues we have come across because of faulty beliefs, and Jean helps address how to let go of toxic behavior and soften our interiors.

The empowerment of women is not only constantly celebrated but pushed as a societal agenda, and as women, we’re not saying we shouldn’t be… but there’s a drastic difference between how we were originally designed and how the world nowadays is attempting to evolve that — for both the better and the worse.
