#277: 3 Ways to Not Move Too Fast in a New Relationship


Listen Later

In this episode of the Black Girls Heal podcast, we're diving into something that many of us struggle with—protecting our individuality when new love enters the picture. You know that excitement when someone new comes into your life and suddenly you want to share every moment with them? Today, we're talking about why that impulse, though natural, needs some healthy boundaries.


Through my years of coaching women through love addiction recovery, I've discovered three powerful strategies that can help you maintain your identity while building meaningful connections. These aren't just tips —they're practical tools that can transform how you approach new relationships and protect your emotional wellbeing.


In this episode, we cover…

  • 03:46 The importance of slowing down
  • 05:17 Tip 1: Share your joy with friends first
  • 14:52 Tip 2: Set scheduled times and dates
  • 19:46 Tip 3: Hold off on sexual intimacy
