107. Special Guest Katy Thompson-Health Care Executive, Cancer Survivor, Single Mom, & Creator of the New Dating App-LEAP MEET Discusses Online Dating After Being Ghosted While Remaining Resilient to Life’s Many Changes.

Jason Zuk, The Social Psychic™

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN GHOSTED? Is it difficult for you trying to find closure when you meet someone that you formed a strong connection but then they unilaterally decide that it's time for them to check out and go without letting you know? ARE YOU A SINGLE MOM WHO GETS OVERWHELMED TRYING TO FIND A DECENT DATE AMID THE SEA OF APPROXIMATELY 8,000 DATING APPS THAT CURRENTLY EXIST IN OUR OVERSATURATED ONLINE DATING MARKET? If any of these questions resonate with you, then check out this episode as Jason and Katy lament on the personal toll of feeling like a ping pong ball being bounced around the various online dating apps while being single yet feeling isolated in our digital age of hyper-interconnectedness from the plight of ghosting and feeling like you are unable to form true connections with other singles. (Jason shares his personal experience of being ghosted from someone that he met four years ago who he shared a special connection with, and how he gained appreciation, insight, and some partial closure after learning to forgive the person who ghosted him through the power of meditation and prayer).

Don’t fret! Remain optimistic and stay vigilant! Our Guest Katy Thompson has created an alternative solution to traditional dating apps with her new dating app, LEAP MEET which is set to debut in early July 2023! Thompson describes herself as a single mom of twins, divorced for 13 years, who experienced a grand epiphany after encountering a "no show" during a Tinder-date at a bar a few years ago which inspired her to transform how we approach online dating going forward! When Katy sat in a bar alone after being ghosted, she pondered 'why don't dating apps work?' She thought to herself, the concept of online dating seems sound, yet it felt like a chaotic dumpster fire!

As Katy sat in that large circular bar, she looked around and witnessed at least 10 other people at the bar scrolling through their smart phones with at least three of them swiping right and left on dating apps. Immediately, Katy started conceptualizing a new app called LEAP MEET. One that utilizes immediate active geo-location versus hours of mindless swiping. Katy’s new app, LEAP MEET is designed to help its users identify and network with other prospective singles while at their local gym, at a marathon expo, on the same cruise ship, at the grocery store, during their upcoming professional conference, or at a 3-day music festival-FOR FREE! Katy wants you to stop the mindless swiping & fishing for likes. Let LEAP MEET make your introductions while you get to live and enjoy your life! LEAP MEET is set to launch in July 2023! Please visit https://leapmeet.com/ to get early access and other information on this app before it launches. Use technology to meet organically—NOW!

You should also check out Katy’s Facebook Group, Dating Debacles! which helps online daters navigate the minefields of dating. In 2020, Katy originally used this platform to personally document her hair growing back post-chemotherapy from her cancer and it has since morphed into a group to share insight and knowledge on dating in our modern era. You can access her group here:https://www.facebook.com/groups/452301041993252/?ref=share_group_link

Katy’s initial goal was to mainly educate and helping newly divorcees and members of women's groups navigate the online dating scene. She has since expanded this goal to help the masses reimagine the online dating experience with Leap Meet!
