Episode 18:

Her Relationship Gems

After a year of womanhood and dating coaching, Timka shares her journey, lessons learned, and her personal relationship gems with us. 

In today’s episode, Timka and I have a lady’s conversation about the power of transformation, not just in her dating life, but also in her own identity as a woman. In just a year, she’s shifted her mindset, done her work, checked  herself, redesigned her sister circles, and created connection and intimacy with a male suitor. From personal skills to communication skills to relationship skills, she’s embraced it all to become the transformed woman that she is today. We explore emotional regulation, masculine and feminine pairing, and what to do with a still-developing or under-developed man, and righteous rejection.
