Dating as a single mother, one thing is for sure…. I’m a mom, first

Ghosting, double taps, bar banter, and “I know my worth” quotes can all sound harmless until you’re the one trying to date with real responsibilities. We sit down with Kirsten Ortiz, a single mom and fitness coach, and get honest about what modern dating actually feels like when your time is limited, your standards are higher, and your child comes first.

We talk about the unspoken rules of DMs, how people avoid ending conversations, and what respect looks like both online and in person. Then we jump into the bar scene: how to read body language, how humor and confidence can matter more than looks, and why pushy energy (especially with alcohol) is an instant turnoff. If you’ve ever wondered whether you should “try again” with someone later in the night, we break down when that’s playful and when it’s just pressure.

From there, we go deep on dating as a single mom: when to tell someone you have kids, how to think about introductions, and why maturity is non negotiable for anyone stepping into your world. We also dig into red flags, emotional safety, money habits, the reality of 50-50, dating apps like Hinge, and whether situationships are real dating or commitment without accountability. Kirsten closes with advice for her younger self and a message to single moms about self care, support systems, and finding community.

We all need our time apart from each other. You can’t miss someone if you’re with them 24/7. Let’s be real.

A marriage can be strong and still need a reset, and we prove it with a week that packs in everything: a Strong Bonds marriage retreat, Tiff’s birthday, and our 13-year anniversary. We start with the honest stuff, like how mental health can feel like a roller coaster and how we cope without pretending we have it all figured out. Then we get into why doing a retreat or workshop is not a sign something is broken. For us, it is a way to reconnect, compare perspectives, and catch small issues before they turn into big ones.

Tiff breaks down what made her birthday hit so deep, from acts of service to the difference between “the usual” and truly feeling seen. We talk love languages, expectations, and why forgetting or minimizing significant days can hurt even when you have done a lot right all year. From there, we pivot into family and parenting, including our trip back to California, the nostalgia of Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, and watching our kids surprise us with bravery on the rides. We also get real about the tug-of-war between moving back home and protecting the peace we have built for our household.

The second half turns into straight relationship advice with our unfiltered Q and A: apologizing first, disagreeing without disrespect, the need for separate interests, what romance looks like after years, emotional intimacy versus physical intimacy, and why “50-50” in marriage is often more myth than math. We also discuss blended family boundaries and step-parent authority, including a tough wedding scenario that raises big questions about loyalty and respect. If you’re navigating a long-term relationship, military marriage stress, parenting, or a blended family, this conversation gives you language, perspective, and a few laughs along the way.

What happens when you take off the crown, the makeup, the sash, and all the expectations—and just talk about being YOU?

In this episode of The REALationship Method, Chris sits down with Charieze, Miss Universe Philippines Top 30 Finalist, to go beyond the crown and get real about dating, love, relationships, standards, expectations, and what it’s like navigating romance while pursuing your goals.

We talk about the difference between the person people see on stage and the person behind the scenes, what dating looks like in today’s world, whether having high standards makes dating harder, and how ambition, confidence, and vulnerability can all affect relationships.
And of course… we get into the questions you probably wouldn’t hear during a pageant interview. 😂
