10 Meaningful First Date Questions that Spark a Deeper Connection

August 30, 2021

I think it is safe to say that almost everyone thinks they are great conversationalists. That they know what questions they want to ask their dates. In reality, I find that far too many singles out there really know how to properly engage their dates in a way that is most likely to lead to an authentic connection. Today, I want to spend some time writing about the seemingly simple, but often underutilized dating tool… “the question.” Spending less time talking about yourself and instead of asking[...]

10 Signs of a Taker in a Relationship and How to Deal with Them

August 17, 2021

Do you feel like you are giving too much in your relationship? Do you feel like you are being used or even worse are you so exhausted from giving that you are completely drained of your energy? If so, then you may be in a relationship with a taker. A taker is someone who engages in relationships conditionally. This means that relationships with a taker or user require your efforts, time, planning, and often money in order for the relationship to be maintained. Takers tend not to offer an element that is necessar[...]

Dating Apps Predict The “Summer of Love” with Survey Statistics

August 2, 2021

With the pandemic not fully in our rearview mirror, dating continues to ebb and flow in ways that for some are freeing and for others maddening. There’s no question that the past year-plus has forced many singles to not only reconsider how they meet other people but also what they want to do when they do meet them. For many of you reading this, the pandemic was a time of reflection. A time to consider what is most important to you and how you want to go about living the rest of your life. So I ask you, if find[...]

Here’s the truth about attachment styles that I wish someone had told me sooner: they’re not your permanent sentence.

In my recent interview with @fountain_hrt , we dove deep into this myth that your attachment style is just who you are forever. But here’s what I’ve learned and what the research actually shows…attachment styles can absolutely change when both people are willing to do the inner work.

I used to think I was just “anxiously attached” and that was it. That my partner was “avoidant” and we were doomed to this endless cycle. But when we both started looking inward, doing our own healing, and showing up differently for each other, something beautiful happened. We started creating new patterns together.

It’s not easy work. It means sitting with your triggers instead of reacting from them. It means your partner doing the same. It means having those uncomfortable conversations and choosing connection over being right. But it’s possible.

Your nervous system learned these patterns to protect you, and with patience and intention, it can learn new ones too. You’re not broken. Your relationship isn’t doomed. Change is possible when you’re both willing to grow.

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) ⁠
