11 Signs of Gaslighting in a Relationship + How You Can Stop It

February 24, 2021

My husband and I have been married for almost 8-years now and I’m very thankful for our relationship, but sometimes when I am coaching my clients I find my mind wandering back to my previous life as a struggling single. Most recently this happened when I was coaching a client who was working through some major issues she developed from a recent breakup with a boyfriend who was gaslighting her throughout her relationship. For those of you not familiar with the term “gaslighting”, it is a form[...]

5 Green Flags to Look For When Dating Someone New

February 2, 2021

Not everyone knows what good looks like in a relationship. A lot of people have grown up in environments where they never saw what ingredients are necessary to create lasting love between partners. Unfortunately, if you have never experienced what a good, healthy relationship looks like it can be nearly impossible to replicate those dynamics in your own love life. That is why I am sharing what green flags to look out for in a prospective partner that signals they are a keeper. Please keep in mind that love is a two[...]

How to Recognize and Break Free from a Trauma Bond Relationship

January 25, 2021

I am going to start this article by letting you know that I have a past that is chocked full of times of extreme trauma. The details of which I won’t get into for this article, but let’s just say that as a child and also as a young woman, traumatic events seemed to rain over my life in a way that made me feel like I had my own personal thunder cloud living over my head. This trauma greatly affected my relationships, both romantic and platonic, and caused me years of pain and inner turmoil. I often blamed mys[...]

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) ⁠
