In this uplifting and practical episode, Leah Hadley welcomes friend and renowned relationship expert Bari Lyman to discuss how to truly prepare for love after divorce. If you’re frustrated by the dating world or afraid of repeating unhealthy patterns, this conversation brings hope, actionable steps, and inspiring real-life stories.

Key Takeaways:

- Get intentional about love: The process starts with a decision and vulnerability about wanting love again.

- Clear past patterns: Healing is about moving beyond analyzing the past—think forward and design the future you want.

- Readiness over availability: Being ready for love goes deeper than “putting yourself out there.”

- You don’t have to settle: Success, emotional security, and healthy, uplifting partnership can absolutely go hand in hand.

- Online vs. in-person dating: The method matters less than your energy and self-readiness.
