She's Going Places

💗 SINGLE NIGHT SCHOOL 💗

Planning to hit some of the many singles nights and social events coming up, but quietly freaking out? Singles Night School is here to help. 😊

Singles School is coming to She's Going Places, but with Social Season coming up, I'm starting with a special 6-week version specifically for single women heading to singles nights, parties and social events.

Whether you're returning to dating, or have been in it for a while, are looking seriously, or just dabbling, we'll look at the practical stuff that can make singles nights easier and more enjoyable.

The idea is to get you from “I've decided I'm going” to actually getting through the night, looking at the befores, durings and afters.

We'll cover things like presenting yourself and getting ready, expectations, safety, communication, seeing and being seen, handling awkward moments and adjusting when things don't go to plan.

The sessions will be online, (with plans for in-person Melb sessions in the future), so you can join from anywhere in Australia.

Distance doesn't have to stop you from being part of the She's Going Places world, or from using the Singles Night School lessons wherever you live.

I'm a Life Coach, I've been to plenty of singles nights and social outings, I've been through the awkward moments, and I've learned a few ways to get through them. I'm passing my tips on to you, should you want to date again, or just make the most of the social season. 💗

Singles Night School is for single women who want to feel more prepared, more confident and more capable of getting out there and making the most of these nights.

I'll be sharing details of the first session here soon.

If you're planning to hit the singles nights and social events this spring, summer and into the festive season, this is for you.

Got a worry or concern about going to a singles night? Drop it in the comments. I want to know what you're thinking about, and I'll be using your questions to help shape the Singles Night School sessions.

This isn't about deception.
This is about safety.

You don't owe a complete stranger the absolute truth about yourself.

If your safety during your life matters to you, it matters at a singles night too. Utilise this top tip.

Don't worry, if you see that guy again and you like him, you can tell him your real name.

If he's a decent guy, he'll completely understand.

It's always worked for me. 💖

The people have spoken.
The George Hotel in Ballarat has cancelled its Ben Cousins speaking event, which was due to happen tonight.

There are still other events of his planned, let’s see what happens with those.

To all those who shared my anger at the recent speaking events of Ben Cousins, which were being advertised all over Melbs and nearby, we have a little win today.

One of my fabulous followers forwarded me this article, and The George Hotel in Ballarat saw reason and cancelled their Ben Cousins event, which was due to happen tonight. Furthermore, they've posted a statement on their page.

This is all over the media today. Many have stood up against these events happening around our state, and it's gratifying to see the results we've been able to make.

We women must look out for each other, and speak up when we can.

The Seaford Hotel is hosting Ben this Friday 18th September, with tickets still on sale via their events link.

The Olympic Hotel event is on Wednesday 23rd Sept but isn't mentioned on their page, and the link I found doesn't work anymore. ✅ Perhaps they've quietly cancelled.

The Sunbury Social Club event is Thursday 24th September, is still advertised on their page (monthly events post) and the link still works.

Do with that info, what you will.

I'd like to think that the comments I, and several of my followers, have made so far on the promo posts for these events inspired other women and men to speak up about their thoughts on the matter.

We women must look out for each other, and speak up when we can.

And look. Results can come from that. 💗

Being the new girl can feel bloody awkward.

You don’t know anyone.
What if you embarrass yourself? Will you fit in? And do you want to?

But you can feel all of that and still stay.

School for single women who are new to dating or getting back into it, and want to feel more prepared before heading to a singles night.

Choose from:

💗 A group online session ahead of your night out, where you’ll learn the prep parts of going to a singles night.

💗 A pre-event session where you can meet other women attending, get comfy, get some last-minute tips and head in together.

No nervy solo walk-ins!

I’m Marie-Louise, founder of She’s Going Places, and I want to make singles nights easier to navigate, more enjoyable and a whole lot less awkward.

A little shopping with my client before tonight’s Singles Social Dinner!

If you haven’t hit Going yet, there might not be enough seats at the table. So get hitting, and I’ll adjust the sitting 🤪

Magical things can happen when you cross the road.

You’ll see new things, have new experiences, gain insights.

And you might just learn how to dance through your loveable life. 💖
