Hi Friends!
Have you ever felt like you wasted your 20s because you didn't do what your friends were doing? Peer pressured into attending an event because of the hype? Felt like you could have been at a particular stage in your career or love life if you simply did x, y, and z?
The fear of missing out (FOMO) is a real phenomenon that people of all ages have felt at one time or another. I can proudly say that I have overcome it through my most recent experience this past summer.
Tune in to hear my story and what I've done to put FOMO at bay.
Enjoy!
Jules

Hey there, friends!

After a brief hiatus, I'm back and ready to roll! No need to fret, because I'm back in the game, stronger than ever!

In today's episode, I delve into the reasons behind my decision to bid farewell to dating apps. They're chock-full of subpar matches and bots, and frankly, the whole experience feels anything but authentic when searching for that special connection. But fear not, for if I'm giving dating apps the old heave-ho, what's the plan? Tune in to discover the alternatives.

Cheers,
Jules

Ep.006 - Don't Lose Yourself In Your New Relationship!

Send us a text

Hi Friends!
The excitement of a new relationship can be fun and a euphoric experience. We want to put our best foot forward and prioritize our partners. However, the dark side to this experience can lead to resentment, unsustainable expectations, and (in a worst-case scenario) premature endings, if we aren't careful in knowing how to set healthy boundaries to keep our identity and have a strong sense of self.
In this episode, I share my thoughts, reflections, and my two cents on the importance of keeping your identity, ways I've chosen to maintain individualism, and the questions and conversations you and your partner (or with anyone that is special to you) can use to sustain your sense of self and keep your relationship strong and healthy.
All the notes and links mentioned in this episode are down below:
Enjoy!
