Put your own spin on it, don’t force it, but the gist is letting him know you’re curious about him and how he can show up Maybe bring up something funny that happened / something enjoyable about the date that you were just reminded about and say something like I’m curious what you have planned for our next date If you knew the outcome was your best case scenario, what would you say? Trust your intuition on that I don’t think that you can say the wrong thing to the right person when it comes to these things as long as you’re coming at it from a not attached to the outcome pov or not from a fear of saying the wrong thing place

Number 001: She knows names, not just faces and in return, she’s not anonymous in her life.

She knows the name of the concierge who says good morning every day, the neighbor two blocks away who always says hi because they both have the name niche dog breed.

I know you see the same faces every day. The woman at the front desk, the guy who always takes his dog out at the same time as you. The barista who knows your name and order and it’s ready before you even go to pay.

You smile and wave…a routine 30 second exchange.

But to be that girl, the one whose life is more vibrant, connected…more captivating… you do one thing different.

You stop and say - “I realize I see you all the time but I don’t think I ever got your name”

This is how the neighborhood you live in starts to feel like the community you’ve been craving. How you plant roots. What if it was never about needing to move, but just move in a little deeper.

This is how make your everyday life feel irreplaceably yours.

Serendipity Season Day 1: you know names, not just faces and in return you’re not anonymous in your own life.

You know the name of the concierge who says good morning every day. The mail carrier who leaves your packages at your door gently.

You smile and wave, but this time you say “I realize I see you all the time but I don’t think I got your name”

That’s how your neighborhood becomes more vibrant, how your every day errands feel a little bit more alive.

Ok but what if I told you the best meet cute of my life never led to a date…but it did lead me to meeting my best friend of now 17 years?

If you want a meet cute, you have to be open to a meet cute just being whatever connection is meant to happen in your life. If we fixate on it being for just to meet a specific person a specific way, all serendipity goes out the window. There’s no room for it to come in.

We romanticize the meet cute as it being just about meeting our person, but the magic of the meet cute is that you had no expectations of a connection you have with a person.

My bestie and I met sitting at the gate of a @southwestair at LAX when we were 18 years old flying back to Kansas.

It was weird to randomly make small talk at the gate when it would’ve been more normal to just keep the headphones in (on the iPod LOL and not make eye contact with anyone)

And if it really is that date that you want, what if the random person you’re about to avoid small talk with is the person who ends up introducing you to them?

I know you don’t want anyone to talk to you, make small talk with you, you just want that rom com perfect moment and that be the only person you have to interact with. But what if you opened up to just letting life unfold and embracing the random connections we could make out in the wild?

Ok, but what if you’re actually already in your next chapter and you forgot to zoom out. That all the little shifts where you kept showing yourself how much you love the life you’ve been creating have created this new era for yourself?

Ok but what if getting out of your rut needs you to start doing things before you’re ready? And what if the uncomfy with that outweighs feeling in a rut for yet another year?

Favorite friend tradition is (almost) monthly afternoon tea

You say you want the meet cute, for your neighborhood to feel more like a community or you feel like you’re waiting around for change and aren’t seeing it, but none of these are possible without opening yourself up to having the serendipitous moments and believing that these moments are happening every day right in front of you.

001 - stop micro-managing the route. the how, the logistics are none of your business.

But your business is to be so crystal clear on the destination so that along the way you know exactly what to say yes and no to. What boundaries to put in place to keep on track.

And when you’re not gripping onto one very specific way it’s “supposed” to happen, you actually have the energy to sit back, listen to your intuition, and feel into what’s a yes and what’s a no.

If you’re so hung up on getting the job, the house, the opportunity, the person a very specific way you might close yourself off to receiving it in a way you never had imagined.

Good news is sometimes a fun fact is just a fun fact and not a commitment to watch 49 days straight of football. Full story on episode 101 of How to Pretend to Like Sports

I know we think that the big thing is going to be what makes us feel like life is moving forward, but if you think back to any milestone in your life, you realize how the momentum actually happened before that milestone.

Remembering that feeling stuck is not a permanent state of being is a relief, but if you need ideas on how to feel like things are flowing again, swipe through.

Trust me when I say I understand the temptation to have dinner delivered instead instead of picking it up after a long day, of having your groceries delivered so you’re not carrying 3 bags down 3 blocks praying you don’t drop one.

Buttttt if what you’re doing right now isn’t working, we have to change things up.

Ps. No 1 is ditch the headphones

Someone asked me the other day if I think it’s actually possible to meet someone in the wild. All I have to say about that is…of course, but maybe we’re not as open to it as we think we are.

So how to be more open? Let’s start with ditching the headphones. It makes you more present and you’re so much more likely to spark in a conversation that way
