If you’re a woman over 40 looking for Mr. Right, this episode is for you. I’m wrapping up my three-part series on the best dating advice for women over 40, and today we’re diving into the hidden fears, anxieties, and habits that might be holding you back from the love you deserve. As an intuitive dating coach, I’ve worked with countless women (and done this work myself), and I know how powerful it can be to uncover and release these patterns. Let’s get into it.

Unpacking your dating fears:

• Fear of intimacy (being truly seen)
• Fear of rejection or heartbreak
• Fear of recreating toxic relationship patterns
• Fear of being trapped or stuck in the wrong relationship
• The underlying fear of ending up alone

How to confront your fears:

• The “Then what?” exercise to explore and release fears layer by layer
• Using emotional release techniques like tapping to clear emotional charges
• Turning your fears into new intentions that empower your dating journey

The 3 most common habits that hold you back:

Overthinking: Letting your mind take over instead of trusting your intuition.

Dismissing good matches too quickly: Judging potential partners based on surface-level details.

Playing it safe: Avoiding emotional vulnerability to protect yourself, which can prevent genuine connection.

Facing your fears and breaking free from unhelpful dating habits is essential to finding real, meaningful love. The goal isn’t to eliminate fear entirely—it’s to loosen its grip so it no longer controls your dating decisions. By building self-awareness, you can date with more clarity, confidence, and authenticity.
