Are you feeling exhausted from the dating game?
🏋Have you put your blood, sweat and tears into your career, assuming love would ‘just happen?’
👟I’ve been in your shoes.
👩🏻💼I showed up as my best badass self, presenting to senior leaders, leading teams, speaking at events, mentoring others, etc., but when it came to my personal life, it was a different story.
👩🏽💻As a career woman with nearly 25 years’ experience in the corporate world and a certified life coach, I want to help people elevate their lives and follow their dreams.

If I had to choose 10 theories to test again in my first year as a founder, these are the ones I’d go for again.
💌 One‑to‑one outreach is the most effective way to connect when you’re just getting started.
♥️ Trust is my most valuable currency.
💌 My audience is paying attention to what I share, even when they don’t engage publicly.
♥️ I say yes to opportunities that align with my business goals, even if I’m not certain of how I’ll get it done.
💌 I pay it forward…lifting up others who are putting themselves out there.
♥️ The biggest thing standing in my way is me.
💌 “I’m not good at this” isn’t useful. “Based on what I know, this is the next best step” is better.
♥️ I am responsible for my return on investment- not my coach, not a programme, not anyone else.
💌 My clients are not responsible for funding my life; they’re paying for the value I provide.
♥️ I over‑deliver early. Referrals from happy clients are the most reliable path to new business.
It’s been an absolute blast in my first year as the founder of @datingclassroom and @therealtexascowgirl
I get to help people fall in love with their love lives AND have fun.
“I’m not sure if I’m ready to date.”
I hear that a lot.
Are you ready to show up as the person who loves themselves?
The person who doesn’t say yes when they don’t mean it.
The person who speaks kindly to themselves.
The person who is willing to be honest even when it’s hard.
The person who listens with a curious mind.
The person who says sorry and means it.
The person who dances when they do laundry because why wouldn’t you?
The person who does not seek validation from others.
It’s always the right time to work on the relationship with yourself.
Because you are the common denominator in all of your relationships.
If you’re ready for your personalised dating breakthrough, starting with you, I’m here to help.
See link in bio.
Our romantic partner or spouse is the only family member we get to choose.
So why don’t we put more intention behind it?
I used to believe, “Of course I’ll find someone.”
“It’ll just happen.”
But do we think a new home will just happen?
Do we expect the career of our dreams to just happen?
Do we turn up to an Ironman with no training and no game plan?
Being intentional with dating isn’t a nice-to-have.
Why?
Because choosing a life partner is one of the most important decisions we will ever make.
It’s the person who stands beside us as we watch our mother take her final breath.
The person who celebrates with us when we sign our first client or land the role we’ve dreamed of.
The person who sees the version of us that only our parents or siblings have known.
The person who can finish our sentences and is usually right.
And the person who smiles when we surprise them.
The person who holds us through the exhilaration, the despair, the mundane, and the completely unexpected.
Sometimes our beliefs sound positive.
But not all beliefs are helpful.
I’m inviting you to explore fresh perspectives, clarify what truly matters to you, and stop wasting time with the wrong partners.

I was single and happy.
And I wanted a husband.

This is great news.
We figure out how to invest time and money where it matters.
We create standards.
We ensure validation does not come from our dates.
I give them personalised strategies that work for them.
So they can enjoy single life.
And attract quality matches.

Meet Shay @shewilltry
Shay (Siobhan Middleton) is an extraordinary human for more reasons than I can count but here are a few that say it all:
❤️She’s living with stage 3 breast cancer, navigating surgically induced early menopause with resilience and grit
❤️At just 27, she launched the UK’s first women-only fitness club, challenging industry norms while investors dismissed her vision as “lunacy”
❤️We lived together during lockdown and somehow never stopped laughing
❤️She’s an incredible dancer and choreographed our wedding dance
❤️Shay has recently launched Freya Fit, an online women’s wellness and pelvic health platform.
If you or someone you know has recently had a baby, chances are they’ve searched questions like:
😵💫Why am I leaking?
🧐Why does my core feel so weak?
💪🏽What workouts are safe after having a baby?
📆How long does it take to feel like myself again?
🗓️When does my energy come back?
@freyafit.official exists to answer those questions with expertise, empathy, and evidence-based movement.
Shay is currently offering a free 6‑week postnatal fitness programme in exchange for feedback.
The programme focuses on pelvic floor rehabilitation, building strength, and gently reintroducing cardio in a safe, supportive way.
Please share this with anyone who might benefit especially new moms who deserve to feel strong, confident, and supported in their bodies again.
Please see link in comments to sign up for the free program.
I hadn’t planned on investing in a wedding video.
Then Dad said, “Jill won’t be able to see you and Leo on your big day.”
I’m the eldest of five sisters.
When my baby sister @jillianshahbazi found out she was pregnant with her first child, she called me in tears.
“I’m so sorry,” she said. “I didn’t expect this to happen.”
We were heartbroken that she and our brother-in-law Naveid couldn’t be there.
But our gorgeous nephew, Dari, is so worth it.
I’ve watched our wedding video by @auroraweddingfilms more times than I care to admit.
And I cry every single time.
Because it takes me straight back to the best day of my life.
A day surrounded by family and friends who witnessed the sacrament of marriage.
A day that reminds me not just that I got married but why.
I chose to marry the love of my life.
@leoliveofficial is my favourite person in the world.
He is kind, curious, funny, and wildly talented.
And he chooses me.
Every single day.
Even when I’m annoying.
Even when I’m exhausted or frustrated.
With him, I am completely myself.
I feel deeply loved…every day.
That’s why, in celebration of our 4th wedding anniversary,
I’m offering something truly special.
A once‑in‑a‑lifetime invitation.
You deserve to show up as the real you – the version of you who is ready to step into love.
You deserve to remove temptation and walk away from situations that are going nowhere.
To be honest and direct, with elegance and self‑respect.
To date at a deliberate pace, from a place of abundance rather than urgency.
I’m inviting you into 12 weeks of 1:1 coaching,plus an in‑person experience in the Azores,15–18 May.
Register by 10 April (£99 / $125)
And pay in full by 2 May (£499 / $599)
It’s time to go all in on your love life.
I can help you say yes to your fairytale.
Venue: @berkeleycastleweddings

Are you ready to be honest with yourself?
It could save you years of your life.
When I was single, I was genuinely happy.
I was busy with work, surrounded by great friends, and travelling the world. Life was full yet time just kept passing.
The only moments it really hit home were usually on a Sunday night. Everything would go quiet, and that small inner voice would whisper, “I’d really like to have someone.”
And every time, I ignored it.
Because I was happy… or at least, I thought I was.
I remember travelling for work, going to events that were completely full‑on…early mornings, long days, late nights, working hard and having fun.
But when I came home, exhausted, those were the moments that mattered most.
I’d find myself thinking, “I just want someone to say, ‘Oh my gosh, Jocelyn, you are absolutely exhausted. Let me run you a bath. Let me pour you a glass of wine. You don’t need to be ‘on’ anymore.’
Those were the moments that I ignored.
Not until I was fired from a toxic corporate job.
That was the turning point.
It forced me to get honest with myself and to start being intentional about dating and going after what I truly wanted, instead of pushing it aside.
And if this resonates with you, I can help you take the first step.

What a fantastic way to start the week!
On 30 March, I had the pleasure of being the “Star of the Show” on @bbcsounds – Radio Gloucestershire, joining the Jon Smith morning program for a live interview with David Smith.
We were joined by Todd from the BBC Gloucestershire team, who bravely volunteered as the show’s dating guinea pig, largely because his colleagues are already happily partnered up. Todd took it all in great spirit as we explored what it really takes to date with intention.
Our conversation covered the importance of getting clear on your dating goals, understanding what truly matters to you (your values), recognising compatibility, and finding ways to move past first-date nerves.
There were plenty of laughs along the way, including David sharing his own first-date story, one that ended with a parking ticket after hours of conversation. We all agreed that it was good that he didn’t ask his girlfriend to pay her fair share!
If you’d like to hear more of the discussion, you’ll find the link to the broadcast and time codes below.
Time codes:
1:22:32– 1:26: 30 or (7:22:32 - 7:26:32)

Back to the Future taught us everything we need to know about dating.
This is what I’d tell my sisters and myself if I could hop into a DeLorean and head back to the 80s.
💻Don’t waste time chatting online. When Lorraine kissed Marty, something just didn’t feel right. Her body knew before her brain did.
🫶🏼Tell yourself the truth that aligns with your goals. Yes, there are many Biffs in the world. But there are also plenty of Georges, people who are kind, who see you, who want to show up.
📖Be careful not to fall in love with the story instead of the person. Lorraine imagined Marty as “Calvin Klein,” mysterious, adventurous, irresistible. But that was a story, not who he actually was.
🌌Always choose courage. You don’t need a sci-fi crisis to be brave. It took George believing a Martian was about to melt his brain before he finally asked Lorraine out.
💪🏽Ask yourself, “Does this person share my values?” One new belief changed George and Lorraine’s future. “You can do anything you put your mind to.”
🎸The people who truly belong in your life will love your gifts and encourage them. Marty’s girlfriend supported his music. Marty supported Doc with his endless curiosity and refusal to give up on his dreams.
I’m willing to fight for your dreams. Just like Marty fought to make sure his parents found their way back to each other.

You don’t need a time machine to create a new future.

On Sunday, the clocks go forward one hour in the UK.
We’re going Back to the Future.
I absolutely love this film.
My sisters and I have watched it dozens of times.
I probably dated several engineers in hopes they would recreate the flux capacitor.
When we started dating, I asked Leo if he liked the film.
He said yes.
Which is a good thing because I may have dumped him if he said no.
Not kidding.
There is so much gold in this movie that applies to dating.
Stay tuned for more.
