Thank you everyone!!!! ❤️
My biggest takeaways are:
1. The funnel is the best thing that happened to me.
2. Speaking from my feelings and being vulnerable has so much power.
3. Having this community and the support from the coaches has been so encouraging and I feel grateful to be here 😊

the lessons in boundaries and vulnerability were LOUD loud! Everyone is right it’s more than about getting the guy…you do some major inner work in here! That is the only reason I got as far as I did and will be the foundation in how I show up in my relationship going forward! ❤️🥰

there are so many takeaways. When I started this program, I hated dating. Learning how to funnel and practicing my boundaries helped me to stop approaching dating from a scarcity mindset. The first BOLs felt difficult, but once I got used to really being clear on what I was going to put up with, and what I wasn’t, I started being presented with better situations and men who could meet my standards. I also gained clarity on the type of man I want to be with long-term. I’ve definitely been guilty of dating for a prom date as opposed to a partner, but as I step into this new relationship, I feel really great about who he is, how he treats me, and our communication.  He respects my boundaries, he shows up with joy and consistency, he always wants to prioritize my happiness. I realize that, even though I was a main character in all the other areas of my life, I was playing small in my love life. Now I feel more myself. It’s also really healing to have a relationship that affirms me being the boldest version of me. I’m so grateful for this experience! Thanks everyone for your support.

Banter kept convos light and fun in the app, email and eventually all conversations. We were able to connect via our sense of humor and love of sports
* Feel free to still leverage your email funnel when you feel like you need it or want to switch things up! I got burnt out on the volume of text funnel guys not making it to phone dates and switched back to email for a few weeks which is where he entered the funnel.
* Don’t shy away from repeating doing the worksheets over time! Doing the relationship needs worksheet this second time around, I realized I’d missed how much of a top need respect of boundaries and dependability/reliability were for me growing up whereas the first time I believe I scored attention and feeling cherished the highest
* Talking my ish – throughout our dates I’d share things I was proud of or happy about, like completing 75Hard. I showed up as my full self and one of our dates actually ended up being a workout date since he knew I was doing 2 a days at that time.
* Patience (my Achilles heel) – the first time I went through the program I got my guy and it ended up being a false start for a few reasons. I started back swiping in Jan of 2024

Blindly listen to Coach. He knows a thing or two
Swipe right on like 85% or more (trust me. They won’t all make it)
Swipe on the apps and keep going even when it sucks. It feels like a lot of work but it’s worth it.

First, thank you so much because with you and The GYG community, the deep work wouldn’t have happened and I wouldn’t have know how to strategize and even what I deserved. When I finally met my guy, it was so clear that he was really my guy from our first conversation. The funnel works wonders! Please use the funnel ladies. Also, please know that there are men out there who will be willing to treat like the queen you are, respect you, be kind to you, be your cheerleader, etc. They are out there and I know sometimes it feels hopeless, but try to keep the faith. Also, I had to internalize for myself that I deserved to be treated well. That was some thing that I don’t think I ever had really accepted until I started the program last January. I also gave myself lots of breaks from the app when I felt burnt out. I felt like that was very necessary. I also recognized how I became more vulnerable on dates and it just became easier and easier to share my thoughts so that when I met my guy , and my guy was also the kind of guy that shared his thoughts, we just vibed. I would not have been ready for him a year ago. Sending all of you ladies and Anwar, so much love! My therapist always says that the world is overpopulated lol and there are billions of people in the world there are definitely more than several guys out there for you!

I’d say my biggest takeaways were the importance of boundaries, vulnerability, being able to identify and voice your needs and talk yo ish! lol. I’m still working on all 4 but I’m a lot farther along than when I started.
Thank you for the support along the way! 😁

Anwar is great!! He tells you what you need to hear and gets you to think about things that are beyond the surface. He’s great with follow up too. He cares about his clients.

Some of my biggest takeaways:
1. Trust the process, no matter how intimidating or unnatural it may feel. Every step and assignment is intentional and has a purpose.
2. It was crucial for me to check my ego at the door throughout the dating program and process.
3. Be open to dating everyone! If I had continued to be hyper-focused on dating black men, I wouldn’t have been able to keep my dating momentum. In 2 1/2 months, only TWO black men got through the initial funnel.
4. Asking others for their “highs and lows” of the day was an organic way for me to practice vulnerability. Even today, I use this with my guy and my direct reports at work. I’ve found most people to be into it, and they began asking me for highs and lows without being prompted!
5. Telling close friends about my participation in the GYG program helped with my feelings of shame about previous toxic relationships. Both my single and married friends were fascinated by the program and opened up about their dating snafus and regrets. It helped show me I am not alone and reinforced that no one has taught us how to date.

I would highly recommend coach Anwar. From the beginning I’ve realized that he’s really understanding and knows the best way to change the situation and get the best results.

key takeaways on getting into this relationship was talking my shit and speaking up about my boundaries and preferences each and every time – specifically not just physical safety boundaries which came easy to me in the program – but being able to expand that to all of my boundaries and preferences and letting my partner show up for me again and again and again in the way I preferred. Before I had a bad habit of being “cute and mute” which led me to being disappointed often by those who couldn’t read my mind! not anymore! Thank you Anwar and Shoya!
