Amy Baglan is back on Untangle! She’s an entrepreneur with a personal mission to give people the tools they need to make meaningful connections and to live with purpose, joy, and a sense of belonging. Her new company is called Fabriq, a platform intended to help us prioritize, track and reconnect regularly with the people who matter most to us. We spoke at the beginning of COVID, but this discussion about how we build deeper connections and stamp out loneliness is always important.
Amy Baglan is on a mission to evolve the online dating world. Using her startup experience and her passion for yoga and the mindful life, she founded YogaDates in 2012, which grew into the online dating site MeetMindful. MeetMindful is a place where individuals can connect with people interested in health and wellness, mindfulness, personal growth, or spirituality. Our host, Andy Horning, sat down with Amy to learn more about the seeds of MeetMindful and how it has impacted her own dating life.
Amy Baglan is driven by a deep desire to help people find more meaningful connections in their daily lives. Listen to her describe the remarkable and winding path she traveled to start MeetMindful, a community for like-minded people who value mindfulness and wellness to meet and create meaningful romantic, platonic or networking relationships. Fast forward to now, another concept was birthed from Amy and the team at MeetMindful. Currently in public beta, Fabriq is a personal relationships manager designed to help people stay in touch and build stronger relationships with the people who matter most. Both companies embody the perfect combination of ethereal connections and today's technology of digital apps. Don't miss this inspiring episode.

What is Social Wellness? In the very first episode of Wellness 3.0, Amy Baglan, CEO & Co-Founder of Fabriq and MeetMindful, dives into her background, the meaning of “meaningful connection”, the social disconnection epidemic, and what she believes is the emerging third wave of health & wellness — something we like to call social wellness. “These days, most people find it easier to lock eyes with a screen than with another person, yet we are innately social beings. So what happened? And what can we do about it?” On the Wellness 3.0 podcast, we’re on a mission to answer that question through a weekly show that explores why we as humans have become more comfortable with locking eyes with our devices than with other human beings. In this episode, Amy takes us back to 1948 when the World Health Organization defined health a bit differently than it does today. Hint: It used to include social wellbeing! She’ll also discuss: What led her to investigate meaningful connections and start Fabriq The epidemic of disconnection, loneliness, and social isolation and how it’s detrimental to our health Why the third wave of health & wellness has everything to do with our social ties, social health, and community The importance of deepening existing relationships, building strong support systems, and interacting with your community Each week on Wellness 3.0 we’ll invite guests to help us dig deeper into the many areas of social wellness. We’ll play connectivity games, give you weekly challenges and activities to improve your social wellbeing and discuss everything from volunteerism to making new friends as an adult, to finding a sense of purpose and belonging in our community. Join us every week as we ditch disconnection and shift to social wellness.
Amy Baglan is both a Type A Entrepreneur and a committed mindful meditator. The founder of MeetMindful, an app and movement that connects spiritually engaged people for both dating and friendship, Amy drives hard for achievement, and also consciously aims for that "being OK in the moment" vibe that doesn't depend on external success. I wanted to talk to Amy about dating, and romance, and sex; topics highly correlated with health and happiness, and topics that I've managed to avoid pretty much completely over five years of this podcast.
Episode 196: Amy Baglan is the Founder and CEO of MeetMindful, where she’s on a mission to evolve the online dating world. MeetMindful is one of the fastest growing dating and networking platforms in the world, and is connecting the 36 million singles interested in mindful living, meditation, health and wellness, sustainability, spirituality, and personal growth. Amy started her own journey of mindful living after years of growing early stage startups in New York. She wanted to put that same ambition and drive inward towards herself so she quit her job, sold all her possessions, and bought a one-way ticket to travel through India, Thailand, Bali, and Cambodia for an entire year. She discovered the love of learning and finding new ways to expand her mind, body and spirit. After returning to the US and having a difficult time finding other like-minded people, Amy launched MeetMindful in 2014 to help mindful singles meet people in their “tribe”, find true love, and offer an alternative to the superficial nature of today’s popular swipe dating apps. Show notes: When I saw Amy Baglan's photo on the wall at Techstars in Boulder this past month Amy's history of interning with startups and working in sales, customer service and business development How Amy found herself in love with building something from nothing How her initial desire to connect with something greater led her to a Gabby Bernstein lecture where she met a sober runner named Courtney. ("and the rest was history!" so they say) Finding meditation, a nutrition program, yoga and mindful friends Tim Ferriss's 4-Hour Work Week (and the profound impact it has on so many people) When she sold all of her belongings and headed off to India/Asia with the goal of "self-exploration" Yoga Dates- a Meetup group Amy started in order to change the separateness of yoga and transform it into a dating experience Yoga and AcroYoga isn't only about the practice-- it's about the connection you create during the practice (both with yourself but also with others) The true pillar of Meet Mindful is bringing people together who have a deep value they can bring into a relationship How the pattern of breaking up with someone because "they don't have this one super important passion" (fill in the blank: is a yogi, rock climbs, has a bigger family, etc) can often be an excuse for not wanting to be vulnerable and loved by another-- and having a way out of it. How the abundance of dating options can influence us to bounce from one relationship to the next Qualities you want in your partner should not be surface level things-- they are deep but yet still allow room for different forms of expression. "There's always going to be work to do no matter who you're with. It's up to you do decide who you're going to do the work with."

Welcome to the Emerging Women podcast, where we hear from brilliant women leaders creating big change in the world. I’m Chantal Pierrat, your host, and today’s guest is Amy Baglan, Founder and CEO of MeetMindful, the dating app for conscious and meaningful connections. There’s a tendency in current culture to let the digital world act as a scoreboard for our worth as human beings. I myself may be guilty of letting the number of likes dictate my mood on occasion. Amy believes it’s important for tech leaders to upend that tendency by facilitating quality connections rather than quantities of connections. In our conversation, Amy connects the dots that made her an entrepreneur on a mission to evolve the dating industry. We’ll talk about what it means to look for “mindful connection” or a “conscious partner,” and the benefits of practicing intimacy beyond the context of romantic relationship. She even shares how she’s changed the way she dates lately - which she believes will call in a much bigger love than she would have found before she shifted her perspective.

Power Quotes From The Show "There's always going to be work to do in a relationship, but you get to choose who you want to do it with. You and your partner have to learn how to be in conflict together. So, if doing that work and being in conflict together always brings out the worst in both of you, that tells you something about your relationship." - Amy Baglan "I've always had this desire that people show up as their authentic self rather than put on a front or be superficial. I can't connect with others when they're not being true about themselves." - Amy Baglan "I always urge people to look at how a potential partner acts and not pay attention to what they say. The way that people show up in the world, their behavior, and how they treat other people including yourself cannot be filtered by words." - Amy Baglan "Dating apps are almost like a trigger happy, fast food style atmosphere where there's almost too many options and choices. This is teaching younger generations that this is all there is. They learn that people can be disposable and that the quantity of connections over quality is better." - Amy Baglan "If all a person does is share pictures of selfies on a dating app and they only care about what their body looks like, then they probably don't value anything else about themselves. If that's the case, then I certainly don't think they're going to value much else about myself either." - Amy Baglan Links From Today's Show: MeetMindful Facebook Instagram Twitter YouTube Amy Baglan: LinkedIn Twitter Amy Baglan - Mindful Dating on the Untangle Podcast Mindful Dating is Now a Thing - And This Buzzy New App is Here to Prove It 5 Rules for Mindful Dating & Relationship-Intention Setting this Holiday Season by Amy Baglan Variable Rewards: Want To Hook Users?

Speaking of Partnership: Personal Stories of the Power and Payoffs of Partnership
Amy is a passionate, cause-driven entrepreneur on a mission to evolve the dating industry. Five years ago, Amy left a thriving life in New York City to explore the world. She studied with masters of yoga, meditation, Buddhism and more and noticed that there was one common thread connecting the people she met: mindfulness. Amy moved to Denver, Colorado inspired to create something that brings those people together in an intentional, authentic way. Guided by her deep-rooted belief that authentic relationships and connections are the fastest way to personal growth, she founded MeetMindful.com for the millions of people who desire deep, meaningful relationships with a like-minded partner. Guiding Principle, Quote or Mantra If you and / or your partner are in a triggered state, nothing is going to go well. When you can find compassion for where your partner is, good or bad, then everything will fall into place. It is not easy. When you can ask what to do next from your heart instead of from the triggered ego / head state makes a huge difference. When You Tripped Up Amy did not know how to be in partnership until recently. She was trying to be the best person she could be, but that is different from being the best partner she can be. In the past Amy cared more about letting her partner know that she felt injured or that whatever they did wasn’t right and how badly that felt, than about remedying the situation. She felt compelled to walk them through what they did that made her feel so bad, because if they just understood, then maybe they wouldn’t do it again. This got her in trouble a lot. Proudest moment in partnership Amy’s relationship with her boyfriend, Joe, is definitely it for her. What she has experienced in her own personal growth is largely a result of their partnership. The appreciation they each show the other for all the daily stuff that has to happen in life is inspiring. And instead of taking it for granted, making sure they know how much they appreciate it. The more she appreciates Joe for what he does, the more those things happen. What is the best partnership / relationship advice you have ever received? Amy was talking with Arielle Ford asking where are all the conscious men? Arielle said, “guys are spiritual and conscious and mindful in their own ways and it is not always going to be what you do as a woman.” Best Partnership Resource Alison Armstrong's programs at Understandmen.com (http://understandmen.com/?SSAID=449360) Interview Links - MeetMindful.com (http://meetmindful.com) Amy's Facebook Link (http://facebook.com/meetmindful) Amy’s Twitter Link (http://twitter.com/meetmindful) (https://speakingofpartnership.com/092-amy-baglan/)
