Finding Yourself First: From Marriage to Self-Discovery

Marilyn returns to share her insights on dating, relationships, and personal growth after moving from Cuba to Las Vegas and navigating life after a 13-year marriage.

• Dating in Las Vegas isn't uniquely challenging—similar issues exist everywhere in the modern dating world
• Learning to be comfortable with being single has been a new and valuable experience after years of relationship-hopping
• Setting and maintaining clear boundaries is essential for healthy relationships
• Energy and presence matter more than looks or money when it comes to attraction
• Building a relationship with someone who's growing versus someone already established offers different challenges and rewards
• Texting others while in a relationship can be more hurtful than physical cheating because of the emotional connection being built
• Women should embrace their feminine energy in relationships rather than competing with masculine energy
• Honesty is the foundation of any healthy relationship—if someone doesn't like your truth, they're not your person
• The right person deserves space in your life, but they have to earn it through commitment and loyalty
