  • Intentional Dating Meets Intentional Living

    I had such a great time chatting with Leni on her podcast! Her energy is warm, grounded, and so easy to connect with. Even though her show focuses on retreats, she created the perfect space for a conversation about matchmaking and how we can (and should) approach dating with the same intentionality we bring to our businesses. Loved being part of it
