Marni speaks with Dating with Dignity alumni, Michelle Rosa-Littleton about her dating experiences before and after her transformation. Michelle shares the steps she took to banish her limiting beliefs, meet her short-term dating goals, and how she met her husband online.  

Key takeaways from this episode: 

  • Stepping out of your comfort zone
  • Transforming your dating goals
  • Trusting the process
  • Taking responsibility for your actions.

 

Before Michelle’s Dating Transformation [2:02]

 Michelle was married for 19 years. After her divorce, she would date on and off. She even dated an old sweetheart knowing he was married. She felt she was spinning in a downward spiral and emotionally hit rock bottom. 

 

From the outside, she looks like she had everything. Her kids were doing well. She had a great job and a house but on the inside, she felt like she was living a lie and faking her way through life. 

 

Michelle recalls the moment everything changed. She was awarded a short phone conversation with Marni. During their conversation, Marni got right to the heart of the matter and offered Michelle three things that she could do to change her life. It gave her hope. They were the right words at the right time from the right person. She was ready. She knew she didn't want to be alone. So, she got serious about doing the work. 

 

Michelle says the biggest hurdles to overcome were changing the notion of staying where she was and changing her limiting beliefs. 

 

What do you gain by staying the same?

 

Trusting the Process  [13:12]

In sticking with the process, Michelle could see her transformation.  She shifted her energy and regained her inner light. She began dating as her new self. She admits it felt a little outside of her comfort zone and powerful at the same time. She became more interested in what she could learn about men than dating them to see how they might meet her needs. 

 

She recalls one man she dated, Bruce. He asked her out for New Year’s Eve and then to join him to a company function in Hawaii. They hit it off but during the trip, something didn’t feel right. After returning, Bruce didn’t call Michelle. She knew from her Dating with Dignity coursework it was better to talk it out so they could part as friends.

 

Meeting Mr. Right [20:35]

 Michelle reopened her online profile. She had previously limited her search to the city limits but low and behold a missed connection with someone geographically close to her popped up. Michelle followed the process and decided to text, talk, and meet as soon as possible to avoid building up a relationship in her head. Casey sent her a great text. He was curious about her and he had thoroughly read her profile. Michelle agreed to a phone date and then to meet.

 

She says her relationship is everything she ever wanted and things she didn't know she wanted. She wants to make each day with him the best day ever. She is 100% herself around him.
