We can want a relationship and also be resistant to intimacy, in ways that are really hard to see within ourselves. That's the crux of this week's episode. In it, I dive deeper into a period in my life (circa 2017) where I was "dating," someone. Really, we were just sleeping together. And while if you had asked me "Do you want a relationship?" I would have eagerly exclaimed, "Yes!" my internal world, my subconscious beliefs, were screaming the exact opposite. Largely because at the time, intimacy felt incredibly threatening. I didn't dare let another really see me. I wasn't even willing to really see myself.

This episode will be a great listen if:

• You find yourself not really connecting deeply with anyone— or primarily connecting with people that aren't emotionally available
• You're tired of more surface level dating advice, like "Just join a kickball league!" 
• You feel at a loss for what you can "do" when it comes to consciously moving towards partnership
• You have lingering insecurities in the realm of food, body image, self worth derived through work, etc.
• You feel generally lost in your pursuit of partnership.
