Our self-perception significantly influences our approach to dating and finding love.

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.

Misunderstandings will happen. Conflict will happen. That’s part of being human. You can explain yourself, open your heart, and speak your truth but you can’t control how others receive it. If someone chooses to walk away even after you’ve tried to explain yourself... let them. 

Their departure isn’t your failure…it’s their choice. Your peace isn’t found in making everyone understand you; it’s in knowing you showed up authentically. Some doors are meant to close so better ones can open. Trust the process. Trust yourself.
