Boss Moms, let’s get real for a second—balancing a thriving business, family life, and maybe even a little romance can feel overwhelming, right? Whether you’re single, separated, or just curious about how to keep the spark alive, this episode with Jenn Burton is exactly what you need.

Jenn, a self-proclaimed Romantic Fairy Godmama, joined us to talk about how ambitious women can take charge of their love lives while staying true to themselves. And let me tell you, her advice is game-changing.

Can Boss Moms Have It All in Love?

Let’s start with the million-dollar question: Can you be a successful, ambitious woman and still find love or keep the spark alive in your relationship?

Jenn says, “Absolutely!” But here’s the catch—love and dating can’t be approached the same way you tackle your business goals.

Here’s why:

• Running a business is about strategy and execution. Love, on the other hand, thrives on connection, vulnerability, and authenticity.
• Many of us are conditioned to be the “doers” in every aspect of our lives, but in relationships, it’s okay to step back and let things unfold naturally.

Jenn’s Journey: From Romantic Hot Mess to Fairy Godmama

Before she became a love guru, Jenn was a self-described “romantic hot mess.” She’d lose men in 10 days, turn relationships into a dysfunctional mess within six months, and generally felt lost in love. Sound familiar?

After ending a marriage that wasn’t the right fit, Jenn decided to rewrite her love story. She ditched the outdated dating rules, got real about what she wanted, and developed her own method for dating that was empowering and fun.

The result? She met her now-husband—a man who’d never said “I love you” to anyone before meeting her—and within seven months, he was proposing, asking her to move in, and wanting to start a family.

Talk about a glow-up!

The Power of Self-Discovery

One of the most eye-opening parts of my conversation with Jenn was how much dating and relationships are tied to self-discovery. Jenn’s approach isn’t about “fixing” men or figuring them out—it’s about understanding yourself first.

When I started my business, I discovered so much about who I was and what I wanted. That clarity was a gift, but it also highlighted how my marriage wasn’t aligned with my new self. It’s a common story. Jenn explained that:

“Your business isn’t causing a relationship to fail. It’s helping you discover who you are. Once you know yourself better, it becomes clear if your relationship is still serving you.”

What Is Mantourage Dating?

Okay, let’s talk about the most genius concept ever: Mantourage Dating.

If you’re single, this is your new favorite word. Jenn encourages women to date multiple men (yes, at the same time!) until they find someone truly aligned with their needs.

Here’s what Mantourage Dating is not:

• It’s not about playing games.
• It’s not about breaking hearts.
• It’s not about sleeping with everyone you meet.

Here’s what it is:

• It’s about exploration and keeping your options open.
• It’s about learning what you want and don’t want.
• It’s about taking back your power and making dating fun again.

The Secret Sauce: Stop Trying to “Fix” Men

One of the biggest mistakes Jenn sees successful women make is trying to figure men out—reading all the books, watching the videos, Googling endlessly. Spoiler alert: It’s not about them; it’s about YOU.

Instead of obsessing over what men want, Jenn teaches women to:

• Set clear boundaries.
• Embrace their romantic side.
• Communicate their needs without guilt or fear.

When you prioritize your happiness and show up authentically, the right people will naturally align with you.

A Boss Mom’s Dating To-Do List

Whether you’re single or looking to reignite the spark in your relationship, here are a few takeaways from Jenn’s conversation:

1. Know Yourself First
   Take time to reflect on who you are and what you truly want. Happiness starts with you—not with someone else.
2. Date Without the Pressure
   If you’re single, take Jenn’s advice and try Mantourage Dating. Give yourself permission to have fun and explore your options.
3. Communicate Your Needs
   In any relationship, be clear and confident about what you want. Boundaries are a form of self-love.
4. Stay Open to Discovery
   Romance isn’t always linear. Be open to unexpected connections and let the journey unfold.

Stop Short-Circuiting Their Ability to Love You

Here’s where a lot of us get tripped up: we meet someone we like, and before they’ve even earned our undivided attention, we drop everything and focus solely on them.

Sound familiar? Jenn explains that this can actually short-circuit a man’s ability to fully love, adore, and cherish you. When we give too much, too soon, it can feel overwhelming and, frankly, unearned.

Jenn’s advice? Pace yourself.

• Keep your options open.
• Don’t feel guilty about dating multiple people until someone proves they’re worth exclusivity.
• Trust that emotionally stable men will respect your process—and might even step up their game to win you over.

Slowing Down the Tinder Era of Dating

Let’s talk about online dating. Jenn’s take? It’s a tool—but only if you use it the right way.

• Don’t rush into meeting someone. Just because you matched doesn’t mean you need to meet immediately. Let them earn the opportunity.
• Create a killer profile. Jenn says your dating profile should reflect the same thought and effort you put into your business branding. A standout profile attracts the right people—and weeds out the ones who don’t align with your values.

“I’m Too Busy to Date” – Think Again

If you’re thinking, “Jen, I don’t have time to date multiple people,” you’re not alone. Many of us feel like we barely have time to manage our day-to-day lives, let alone explore new relationships.

Jenn’s response? Dating doesn’t have to be exhausting.

• Think of it as a system—just like the systems you use to run your business or parent your kids.
• With the right boundaries and mindset, dating can actually energize you and enhance other parts of your life.

Take the First Step

Ready to dip your toe into the dating pool? Here’s where to start:

1. Get Clear on What You Want. Define your romantic goals and be honest about what you’re looking for (and what you’re not).
2. Craft a Standout Online Profile. Treat it like your business: put effort into the presentation so you attract the right people.
3. Stay Open and Curious. Think of dating as an exploration of what makes you happy—not a chore.

Final Thoughts from Jenn and Dana

Romance doesn’t have to be this scary, all-consuming thing. It’s about finding someone who contributes to your happiness—not someone who completes you. And remember, you don’t need to follow anyone else’s timeline.

Whether you’re looking for your forever person or just want to have some fun, you deserve love that feels empowering, exciting, and true to who you are.
