Amanda Paolicelli:

What's up for radiant icons and welcome back to

2

:

Dare To Be Iconic, the podcast made

for Icons daring to be themselves.

3

:

I'm your host, Amanda Paolicelli,

and for today's Tea Time sesh,

4

:

we're doing something a little

bit different here on DTBI.

5

:

That's right.

6

:

I'm giving you a sneak peek, a teaser,

if you will, of our new mini series,

7

:

Dare to Date, which is our theme for

June and Radiant icons, I know if you

8

:

have been on my TikTok, if you have

been on my Instagram, then you know

9

:

that um, there may be a new development

in my love life and well, this series,

10

:

this series is me spilling the tea

finally about what is going on.

11

:

It's been three years of being

single and well, let's just say.

12

:

Your girl's no longer single.

13

:

Your girl has herself a man that is

worth her time, which also means I'm

14

:

going to spill the tea about being

in a new relationship with you guys

15

:

on this new dating journey for me.

16

:

And it's a lot and I

am, I am learning a lot.

17

:

It's a, it's hard work and effort

and damn did I forget how much

18

:

work goes into a relationship.

19

:

Honestly, I know I'm completely biased

here, radiant icons, but this mini series.

20

:

It's the best one yet.

21

:

This miniseries dare to date is all

about spilling the tea on the lessons

22

:

of dating after being single for three

years of my life and not putting myself

23

:

out there whatsoever in any degree.

24

:

I was very anti men, you know, waving

that flag around and you know what?

25

:

I still am anti men to some

degree, but with this guy,

26

:

my boyfriend, it's different.

27

:

He's different.

28

:

Our relationship's different.

29

:

And, um, I'm all giddy and shit.

30

:

And it's so disgusting.

31

:

But also I love it too because

it's, it's now like hope, right?

32

:

It, it's hope that even after getting

your heart broken in a really traumatic

33

:

way that there is hope that you can open

your heart back up again and have the

34

:

possibility of finding someone that is

worth your time and that will accept you

35

:

for you and accept every part of you,

because you are daring to be yourself

36

:

on this dare to be iconic journey.

37

:

But any who, that's enough of me gushing

about my man and all the giddiness that I

38

:

am experiencing in this time in my life.

39

:

I will save that for next week's tea

time sesh that is fully dedicated

40

:

to how I opened my heart back up

again why I'm soft launching and

41

:

who is this mystery man in my life.

42

:

Then we're spilling the tea with

Becs on dating and healing and owning

43

:

your sexuality as a young woman in

a society that loves to slut shame,

44

:

but is also in purity culture.

45

:

That's a lot to unpack.

46

:

Also we're talking about green

flags, red flags and the beige icks

47

:

and also how to be iconic in love.

48

:

All of that tea will be split

next month on the podcast for

49

:

our miniseries Dare to Date.

50

:

51

:
