Figuring Out How To Shoot Your Shot
According to Urban Dictionary, to shoot your shot is "to let go of your pride and pursue someone you are interested in"; "to take a chance no matter if you fail or not."

In this episode of Figure Out Your Life with Toya T, I discuss why women should shoot their shots, and share what I have figured out from my own experiences approaching potential baes, including tips on how to shoot your shot the right way.
