The New Rules of Dating: How to Make Dat...

Jenny Meinen
About this episode

This week, Jenny (@jennymeinen) breaks down what dating looks like when you stop performing and start enjoying the process again. From messy first dates and unexpected lessons to holding your boundaries without guilt, she’s sharing the new rules that make dating feel magnetic, light, and emotionally safe.

Jenny opens up about the difference between dating to be chosen and dating from self-worth—and why being “chill” isn’t the same as being confident. She dives into the psychology of boundaries, how attachment styles shape our dating patterns, and what it really means to embody your feminine energy while still keeping your standards high.

From the infamous “wyd tonight?” text to communicating boundaries with grace, this episode is your reminder that fun and standards aren’t opposites; they’re what make you unforgettable.

In this episode:
💌 How to stop auditioning and start experiencing people
🧠 Why boundaries don’t push love away—they invite emotional safety
📱 The right (and wrong) way to respond to last-minute plans
✨ What it means to date in your feminine flow—without losing self-respect
💋 Why saying no with confidence is your most magnetic energy

Whether you’re newly single, deep in your soft girl era, or just tired of dating burnout, this episode is your cozy, empowering reminder that you can be soft and strong, playful and grounded, open and unapologetically high-value.
