The Dating Conversation I Keep Overhearing- Ep. 49
I keep running into the same conversation lately - overhearing it, seeing it online, hearing it from clients. People saying they just don't have anything left to give to dating or relationships right now. This episode is me unpacking that from a few different angles: why recognizing your own capacity is actually healthy, why I don't think we have to have ourselves fully figured out before we can be in a relationship, and how much of this comes down to how overworked, overstimulated, and oversaturated our lives have become. I talk about the real cost of being constantly plugged in, what it actually takes to open up emotional space for connection, and how to tell the difference between protecting your energy and just staying closed off.
Key Themes:
