The Adventures of Self Podcast

All About Love with Sarah Louise Ryan

Listen Later

This week's adventure is taken in the company of dating and relationship expert and coach, Sarah Louise Ryan, to talk about all things love, from what society has told us it means to the everyday struggles of maintaining it as well as how to nourish it and even love in the business space.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • We romanticise love and idealise love in a way that it’s out of reach or hard to attain, but it doesn’t have to be as long as we’re present in ourselves.
  • We have unconscious thoughts about where we are and assuming where the other person is from the first moment you meet somebody, sometimes bringing decades of experience, disappointment, and expectations of what society has told us about people.
  • People are onto the next always on the search for that one perfect person for them, we’re always exploring while always wanting more. If we can eradicate the idea that one true person exists, we might seek connection with the people we’re meeting and discarding.
  • In the world we live in today we’re oversaturated with everything and that applies to the world of dating too, it’s the paradox of choice: When you look at how people can connect there are so many choices of how to meet people that we struggle to make a decision.
  • So many people build businesses because they want to help others, especially dating agencies. They don’t come in with a business mindset so the consultancy side of what I do is helping people turn their passion into their business because managing people and expectations is a really tough job. 

    • BEST MOMENTS 

    ‘TV shows like Love Island are putting out an unhealthy idea about how to attain love today’

    ‘My perception of you is a reflection of me’

    ‘The idea that ‘The One’ exists is really unhealthy because we’re compatible with so many different people, we change, grow, evolve and learn’

    ‘People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime’

    ‘People need to communicate better because by doing so you’ll sieve out all the people that will waste your time otherwise’
