What if the “worst thing” that happened to you was actually God protecting your future? In this episode, Elizabeth sits down with Taylor from Candid Dating to talk about a broken engagement, the freedom to keep discerning even after the invites are sent, and how healing in front of the Eucharist can rebuild hope. Then they go straight at modern dating culture—why we’ve lost the art of conversation, how to stop treating people like commodities, and what it looks like to date in a way that’s truly human (and truly Catholic).
