<description>&lt;p&gt;FREE Date Better As A Mom Webinar registration &lt;a href="https://www.coachtracie.life/services" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.coachtracie.life/services&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;FREE Date Better As A Mom Webinar registration &lt;a href="https://www.coachtracie.life/services" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.coachtracie.life/services&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this episode of the Bitter to Better podcast, I wrap up the Empowered Dating Challenge with Challenge #4: Vet Him Out. Building on last episode’s focus on casually/rotationally dating, I explain why your time and energy are currencies—especially as a mom—and how to protect them by actively vetting out men who don’t meet your needs, values and Ideal Partner list dealbreakers. Think like a hiring manager: bring in new candidates, and release the ones who show unreliability, evasiveness, or misaligned lifestyles. I walk through practical scripts and approaches for ending things—ranging from a simple, respectful decline after a date or two, to a direct conversation with someone you’ve been seeing, to blocking/ghosting when safety or clear boundary violations are involved. The goal is empowered choice: you can’t control others, but you can control who gets your time and attention. Let go of stagnant dating, free up capacity for better matches, and seek connections that genuinely reciprocate and support your vision for a healthy relationship.&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;FREE Date Better As A Mom Webinar registration &lt;a href="https://www.coachtracie.life/services" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.coachtracie.life/services&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ep. 54: Introducing The Empowered Dating Challenge &lt;a href="https://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/the-bitter-to-better/54" target="_blank"&gt;https://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/the-bitter-to-better/54&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ep. 55: I Challenge You To Achieve A Personal Goal &lt;a href="https://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/the-bitter-to-better/55" target="_blank"&gt;https://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/the-bitter-to-better/55&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ep. 56: I Challenge You To Go On A Date &lt;a href="https://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/the-bitter-to-better/56" target="_blank"&gt;https://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/the-bitter-to-better/56&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ep. 58: I Challenge You To Casually Date &lt;a href="https://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/the-bitter-to-better/ep-58-i-challenge-you-to-casually-date" target="_blank"&gt;https://serve.podhome.fm/episodepage/the-bitter-to-better/ep-58-i-challenge-you-to-casually-date&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
