We are often our own worst critic, especially when it comes to dating. Our negative self talk and how we care for ourselves during the process can sabotage our efforts and outcomes.

That’s why I’m ending my dating series with an episode on self-love. 

Whether you are dating or not, it’s important to notice when you tell yourself you’re not good enough or when you aren’t taking care of your own needs and emotions. 

In today's episode, I cover the importance of self-love, self-worth, and recognizing one's dating worth while dating in midlife. I'll share a story from my own life that might sound all too familiar – those dates that leave you feeling less than.

In this episode you'll learn:

• The definition of self-love and why it's essential while dating and in general.
• Why letting go of perfection is freeing and will set you up for more success.
• Learning what self-love really looks like and how it can change your dating experience.  
• Practical tips to boost your self-worth.
• 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 will 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. 

So grab those ear buds and press play so you can give yourself what you need whether you are dating or not. Because YOU are the most important person and YOU deserve more self-love!  

Remember, your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth, there’s does. 

Love, 

Laurie
