❓ What to Expect in This Episode:

🌈Discussion about finding yourself and getting clear about values after a long term relationship, and why this is an important step before dating.

🌈Clues on how to recognize limiting beliefs - and how to counter them.

🌈Reflection on setting boundaries and how to hold them.

🌈Tips for mindfulness practices to beat dating anxiety.

🌈Thoughts on what to do when you encounter a 'dating disaster.'

✨ Why This Matters:

Taking the next step into dating represents a major shift for many women that can feel very uncomfortable. Dating requires a willingness to try and to fail, and failure can sometimes feel very personal or painful. By adjusting our mindset around dating, we can create a much better experience for ourselves, one where we can meet people without pressure of expectation and shrug off negative experiences without taking rejection personally.
