The ONE Secret that Will Change Your Love Life Forever

According to CBS Chicago, “of the 248.2 million people in the U.S, 124.6 are single, compared with 123.6 who are married”. That means there are more single people out there than married people.

And with all the different ways for singles to connect, dating has never been easier. But you might be wondering…why is it so hard for me to find someone then?

I hear women say it all the time; that there just aren’t any good men out there. You know, the standard mantra of, all the good ones are taken?

As a woman, I can relate and understand why most might believe this idea. Personally, before I met my husband, I used to say the same thing too.

Looking back in my single days, I had a successful career, lots of friends, a good life overall. But for some reason, I always struggled meeting someone that would treat me the way I deserved (can you relate?).

I pointed the finger at everyone else out in the world, but never took a good long look in the mirror, the choices I made, and the men I chose.

At first glance, it made sense, it’s my ex’s fault… he cheated, he was a liar, and he was a narcissist.

But deep down I always questioned… why did I ignore all the red flags? Why did I keep rationalizing his bad behavior?

Most importantly…why I didn’t think I deserved better?

Facing hard facts, here’s the ONE secret no one shares with you while your dating… “We are the common denominator of ALL our relationships.”

If we keep attracting the same type of person over and over again, then it’s something WE are doing and how WE are choosing our partners.

Once I figured this out, I deliberately used the Law of Attraction to work in my favor. What did I do? I realized I had to be an example of the type of person I wanted to attract because like attracts like.

So I made it my mission to work on myself because I knew if I wanted different results, my approach had to change.

I opened my heart and my mind to learn ALL that I could about dating and relationships like you’re doing right now.

My goal was to be the best version of myself and become fully conscious of my good and bad dating habits, develop skills in areas I struggled, and gain clarity of my ideal relationship.

And guess what? The process WORKED!

I reentered the dating scene again after years of struggling with finding a quality partner, within a short time, I met my soulmate, now husband.

This is why I became a Relationship Coach, I want to help singles like you find their forever relationship through Conscious Dating.

If you’re reading this and can relate, I promise you the Law of Attraction is working in your favor but first you just have to do a little work on yourself and learn new dating skills.

Through my Conscious Dating Programs, I help singles become conscious and aware of negative dating patterns and develop relationship skills in areas that need improvement.

Like anything in life, the more self- aware we are (aka conscious), the more power we have to deliberately change the direction in our love life. It’s a truly liberating and empowering approach.

If you’re struggling with repeating the same negative dating patterns, I can definitely help. Schedule a Relationship Readiness Review with me here.

Here’s something I want you to know: Love doesn’t have an expiration date. ❤️ I share my personal experiences with @fountain_hrt 

I don’t care if you’re 25, 45, 65, or beyond…your heart is just as capable of love as it ever was. Each chapter of your life brings something beautiful to the table.

Stop listening to people who say you’ve “missed your chance.” That’s nonsense. All those experiences you’ve had? They’re not holding you back - they’re making you better at love. You know yourself now. You know what matters.

So keep your heart open. Stay hopeful. Trust me on this one - it’s never too late. 💕

If you’re constantly wondering where you stand with someone, feeling like you’re the only one putting in emotional effort, or making excuses for why they can’t show up for you… that’s your cue to pause and reflect.

Here’s what conscious dating taught me:

✨ Notice the patterns early- Are they consistent with their words AND actions? Or do you find yourself analyzing mixed signals?

✨Your emotional needs aren’t “too much”- Wanting deep conversations, genuine connection, and emotional presence is normal and healthy

✨ Stop trying to earn basic respect- The right person won’t make you feel like you’re auditioning for their love

✨ Trust your gut- If something feels off, it probably is. Your intuition is protecting you

You deserve someone who’s excited to know your heart, not someone who treats your emotions like they’re inconvenient. Period.

What’s one boundary you’ve set in dating that changed everything for you? Drop it below 👇

As a dating coach who’s worked with thousands of clients over the years, I can tell you that the three-month relationship pattern is one of the most common issues I see.⁠
⁠
You meet someone, everything feels magical, and you’re convinced this could be “the one.” Then, like clockwork, around month three, something shifts. The spark fades, doubts creep in, and before you know it, you’re single again, wondering what went wrong.⁠
⁠
If this sounds like your dating story on repeat, I want you to know that you’re not broken, and you’re definitely not alone.⁠
⁠
There are very real psychological and biological reasons why this keeps happening, and once you understand them, you can start making different choices.⁠
⁠
Read the full article to discover what is literally working against you in early stages of dating (and how to outsmart it) ⁠

The Fine Line Between Compassion and Self-Abandonment

Learning to recognize when your empathy becomes self-sacrifice. It took me years to understand that constantly putting someone else’s needs before my own wasn’t love...it was a pattern that led to resentment and losing myself in the process. 

Real love doesn’t require you to abandon who you are. Sometimes the most compassionate thing you can do is maintain your boundaries and not enable harmful behavior. 

Growth means learning that you can care deeply for someone without sacrificing your own well-being.
