If you aren't careful, the dating scene can lead to self-doubt, neglect of emotional needs, and a depletion of self-worth if you feed into your negative thoughts. But it doesn't have to be that way and you DON'T HAVE TO BE DATING TO LISTEN!

This episode can apply to anyone who needs more self-love in their life.

Today, I'm diving into why self-love and setting boundaries, are essential for successful dating in midlife or any relationship.

Whether you’re just starting or you’ve been navigating the dating scene for a while, this episode is packed with insights and practical tips to help you thrive.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• How practicing self-compassion, acceptance, and kindness can transform your dating experience.
• What do self-love and self-care mean?
• How to be more loving to yourself during difficult times.
• Setting boundaries is crucial for your well-being and how they can empower you to stand firm in your values.
• What dating worth is and how it can transform the way you view potential partners.
• How setting healthy boundaries helped me become stronger when I was dating and can help you too.
• Simple somatic exercises that can help you feel more connected to yourself and calm your nervous system before, during, and after a date.

Grab those earbuds and take a listen as I share how you can show up more authentically, take care of yourself, and keep your heart open to dating in midlife. 

You are worthy of love and respect, and I’m here to support you on your journey.

Most importantly…your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth... theirs does.
