    10. 231. The Talking Stage, Getting Ghosted and Safe Online Dating with Charlotte Warren

      On this week's episode of the podcast, I am joined by Charlotte Warren to talk all things ghosting in the modern dating era.  What is ghosting?  We dig into the timeline of when ghosting is acceptable and when it's not at all justifiable.

      If you're single in 2022, you've been ghosted.  You may have even done some ghosting yourself.  Hell, I have experienced both and today we get clear on what the definition of ghosting really is.  Charlotte and I even expand on a few questions submitted by our audience members.  Here they are:

      1. A definition. I see this term used so often and it seems to mean different things to all.
      2. Why (would someone ghost)?
      3. Where did this trend come from?  Is it a lack of accountability in dating?
      4. What do we do to recover from the shock and heartache?
      5. When is ghosting a YOU problem?
      6. If Charlotte's message resonated with you today, please connect with her on Tiktok @welcometothepeasantparty and to read her entire blog with the Ghosting chart mentioned in today's episode, click here now.

      7. 230. What to Look for On a First Date with Dr. Carrie Johansson

        On this week's episode, I welcome back Dr. Carrie Johansson to speak with me about psychological flexibility, modern marriage and what to look for on a first date.  We both believe that fear and anxiety hold people back in relationships and I cannot thank Dr. Carrie enough for joining me to provide a reflection for me about my recent break up.

        We dig into so many awesome topics on this podcast and here are a few of the biggest takeaways:

        Psychological flexibility is the ability to notice the things around you while putting less weight to it.

        Spinning in outrage keeps you in the stance of the victim.

        A lot of modern daters want everything to move quickly and the point of a first date is to determine if you want a second.

        If Dr. Carrie's message resonates with you today, please listen to her previous episode and reach out to her via her website at selfhelponthego.com and pick up a copy of her new book!
