Send us a text We have to be careful when letting new friends into our lives and into our friend groups. It’s just like dating — we don’t introduce a new guy to our friends and family right away. The same level of caution applies when we meet new friends. Take your time before letting them all the way in. It's very important to find out who they are, what their background is, etc. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/

Send us a text I'm still going to post episodes and will continue to do all the things I have planned. I'm finally setting up my Pateron, all I need to do is add a few things. My Instagram is going to be more of a lifestyle page, showing you all the cool things about life living in Austin. I actually have a due date for my debut novel. A car accident isn't going to stop me.

Send us a text Friendships can resemble a beehive—there’s always a queen bee at the center, her trusted henchmen nearby, and the rest of us forming the outer ring, guarding the hive and politely pretending we’re on board with everything. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/

Send us a text Ladies, we need to take a real look at what it means to be in a long-term relationship with no wedding proposal in sight. With the holidays approaching, I know many of you are wondering the same thing — will this finally be the year? I’m going to share a list of honest reasons that may help you understand whether a proposal is actually coming or not. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/

Send us a text I believe this is worth contemplating. Who is the real winner in this scenario? What really happens to him when you're not there anymore? https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/

Send us a text It was a listener’s question. I don’t think they were being mean-spirited; I think they were just concerned because my mom and Lulu aren’t here anymore. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/

Send us a text Holiday magic has a way of clouding our judgment. The twinkling lights, cozy nights, and festive excitement can make every connection feel deeper than it really is. But just because the season feels magical doesn't mean the person you're with is truly right for you. The real question is: how can you tell if he's genuinely a good match, or if you're just caught up in the holiday charm? https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/

Send us a text Some men don’t stop taking until you stop giving. As long as you keep showing up, he’ll keep using you. He’ll drain your last bit of dignity if you let him. He’ll drag your name you up and down the street if you let him. So don’t just say you’re done — show it. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/

Send us a text Ladies, here’s what happens when you start to be the provider in your relationship. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/

Send us a text The dating scene may appear to be declining, but this often happens when you lower your standards. Many men today expect women to be the providers while they benefit from the women's efforts and finances. Ladies, maintain your standards and stop entertaining men who offer nothing but excuses. Remember, you are not their safety net. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/

Send us a text Ladies, stop trying to do everything on your own. If you really want to achieve your dreams and go farther in life, you need the right mate — someone loyal, who shares your goals and supports your journey. Life is always better when you have a partner by your side. Two is always better than one

Send us a text We’ve all fallen into this trap — opening up to the wrong people. But not everyone in your friend group is meant to hear your breakup story. Some friends carry their own hidden pain and will judge you through the lens of their secrets. I know you’re just looking for comfort and a soft place to land, but remember — not everyone’s heart has walked the same path as yours.

Send us a text We do this to ourselves because we focus on the good. He’s throwing red flags, but we choose to look past them. And that’s how the cycle begins — dating the same man over and over, just with a different name Sometimes, we fall in love with potential instead of reality — and that potential can lead us straight down the rabbit hole. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/

Send us a text A quick life update. Sorry for going missing, but I’ve been on the road, headed to a new destination called home. I did it scared and overwhelmed, but I made it. The key is to just do it. We we will not know what life has in store for us unless we move, unless we take a chance on us. So, for that reason, I left on Monday at 4 p.m. to travel to my new home. Of couree, I had to stop. I can't drive 15 hours straight. But I really stop to go down memory lane, to visit the pla...

Send us a text There could be several reasons for this feeling, and we will explore them further in the next episode. But here are some factors that might contribute to a wife feeling this way. In the next episode, I will speak with some married friends to get their opinions and report back to you all. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/

Send us a text I never knew about this, and wanted to share it! https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/

Send us a text I have talked about this on the podcast before, and I think we need a refresher. One of the biggest decisions in life is choosing a partner. It sets the trajectory for our lives. But we have a habit of saying yes because he proposes. But really, are you ready to say yes? https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/

Send us a text How many times have we all seen this behavior? He starts to act indifferent, he’s not calling as much, the date nights slow down, he finds things to argue about, etc. This is the biggest telltale sign he has someone else on the brain. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/

Send us a text I had a call with a listener which brought us to the discussion of that period in life when we are having the most difficult times. https://www.instagram.com/traceylau99/
