Ooooo flirties ... today on Flirtations, we welcome Anna Kristina to the show, creator of the viral Black Cat/Golden Retriever theory in dating on Tik Tok and founder of the Black Cat Academy to share with us allll the details about this wildly popular - and transformational - approach to dating. We'll learn from Anna what it means to be a black cat with her "3 principles of black cat energy" and how the dynamics between the black cat and golden retriever play out in early dating. We'll also go into how to embody black cat energy, how you can transform from the golden retriever into the black cat, and talk about the duality of masculine/feminine energies. Finally, we've got tips for queer daters out there about how these dynamics show up in same-sex relationships (for example) and how the straight guys out there can date the ultimate black cat. When it comes down to it, Anna's mission is a personal one to empower women (and many gay men!) to embody their own power and accept nothing less than they deserve in dating - and in life. I hope you'll join us for this incredible conversation as we tap into our inner black cat!
