Attracted to Emotionally Unavailable People? The Psychology Behind Why (& How to Stop)

January 16, 2025

When you find yourself repeatedly drawn to people who can't fully love you back, it's not because you're broken. Often, it's because there's a deeper story within you that needs to be heard and healed – a story that lives in your shadow self, those parts of you that you've learned to hide, deny, or push away. Let's explore why your heart keeps reaching for those emotionally unavailable partners who keep their own hearts just out of reach. Recreating Familiar Patterns from Your Past Think back to your earliest e[...]

4 Signs of Love Bombing and How to Protect Yourself

January 9, 2025

Love bombing feels like finally finding your soulmate who "gets you" completely. They mirror your dreams, finish your sentences, and make you feel more seen and understood than ever before. It's the romance you've dreamed of. That rush of constant attention and promises of the future... it's intoxicating. But there's a fine line between genuine connection and manipulation - and today, I'm sharing my personal insights on spotting the difference. Let's talk about love bombing - a tactic that can sweep you off y[...]

5 Steps to Be Emotionally Vulnerable and Open Up in Dating

December 11, 2024

Dating often feels like a performance, doesn't it? Before changing my approach to Conscious Dating and meeting my husband, I used to be a chameleon - sitting across from someone interesting yet presenting a carefully curated version of myself instead of showing who I really am. Through my own journey, I discovered that true connection only happens when we dare to be vulnerable and show up as our authentic selves. Here's what I learned about dropping the mask and building genuine relationships. Why We Hide Our True[...]

How to Stop People Pleasing and Bring in Authentic Love

December 4, 2024

Do you find yourself exhausted from trying to keep everyone happy? Maybe you're constantly walking on eggshells, overthinking every interaction (anxious attachment), or perhaps you maintain a perfect facade while keeping everyone at arm's length (avoidant attachment). I've been there - trapped in the exhausting cycle of people-pleasing from my own anxious attachment. But here's the truth I discovered: the key to finding genuine love and deep connections isn't about being liked by everyone. It's about having the co[...]

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.

✨ A day late but the love is just as strong! Happy Mother's Day to my beautiful mom! ✨

Couldn’t let today pass without shouting out the woman who’s been my rock through it all. Thanks for always believing in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself.

Your wisdom, your laugh, your incredible strength – you amaze me every day. So blessed to call you Mom.
