In this episode of the Deep-Rooted Self-Love Podcast, I talk about dating, emotional availability, and the fear of being “too much” in relationships — especially when it comes to sharing your feelings.
So many hold back in dating because they are afraid that expressing emotions, needs, or desire for commitment and intimacy will push the other person away.
In this episode, I share why being honest about your feelings is never the problem, and how someone’s reaction to your vulnerability is actually one of the clearest indicators of emotional maturity and relationship compatibility.
I talk about my own dating experiences with avoidant partners, situationships, and unbalanced relationships, as well as how things shifted when I learned to trust my emotions and prioritize the relationship with myself.
I also share personal insights from the beginning of my relationship with my husband — and why the right partner leans in when things get real rather than pulling away.
In this episode, I share:
Why sharing your feelings early in dating is a powerful act of self-love
How attachment styles and emotional avoidance show up in modern dating
The cost of downplaying your needs to keep someone interested
Why being “low maintenance” often disconnects you from your authentic self
How to stop taking someone pulling away as a reflection of your worth
This episode is for you if you’re navigating dating, a situationship, or a relationship where you’re afraid to ask for more, and you want to build secure, emotionally available relationships without abandoning yourself in the process.
Your feelings are valid. Your desire for deep connection is not too much. And you don’t lose the right person by being honest about what you want — instead you find alignment.
Sending love & enjoy the episode!
