Do You Know The Key to Healthy Dating? | Season 1 | Episode 2

In this episode, we dive deeper into the journey towards finding healthy love and true partnership, building on our discussion from Episode 1 about casual hookups versus intentional intimacy.

We explore the nuanced difference between guilt and shame, particularly how guilt can serve as a productive tool for those who tend to people-please. Many of us find ourselves making “pit stops” in our dating journey, not always honoring our deepest truths, leading to feelings of guilt. This episode encourages you to ask, "Why do I feel guilty?" Often, it's because our actions haven't aligned with our highest and best good. By acknowledging this truth without judgment, you'll start to feel better and more in control of your dating life.

Our culture frequently advises against dwelling on negative emotions, but when we investigate them, they can offer invaluable insights into our future choices. Feelings of sadness, despair, and anxiety can often be mitigated when we truly honor ourselves. Yet, sometimes, it's the mistakes that teach us the most about what we want and where we're headed.

Furthermore, we discuss making “pit stops” in a mindful, helpful, and intentional way to propel us closer to our desired outcomes. With the overwhelming world of dating apps causing frustration, we underscore why having tools and strategies is paramount in dating. Whether you're navigating casual encounters or seeking deep, meaningful connections, we provide the roadmap to help you find what you're looking for in relationships.

Tune in to gather insights and strategies that empower you to navigate your dating journey with more intention, self-respect, and clarity. Remember, every experience shapes your choices and can lead to better decisions in the future. Join us in Episode 2 as we guide you through making intentional pit stops on your journey to love.

Your roadmap to healthy love and true partnership starts here.
