How People-Pleasing Sabotages Your Chance at Love

February 15, 2024

In our quest for love and connection, we often become our own worst enemies without even realizing it. One of the most self-sabotaging ways we do this is through people-pleasing. You may think, "If I just make them happy, they'll love me, right?" But here's the truth: people-pleasing is a sabotage, not a strategy for finding true love. Are You Sacrificing Your Needs? Consider this: when you bend over backward to please someone, whose needs are you really meeting? Are you honoring your own desires, boundaries, and[...]

January 18, 2024

We all want to feel confident and beautiful, but the pursuit of perfection can be exhausting. Comparison culture, social media, and beauty standards that don't reflect reality make us forget that perfection is an unattainable goal. It's okay to be imperfect, and it's even better to embrace it. When you understand that your flaws and quirks make you unique and special, you can boost your self-confidence and attract the right people into your dating life. In the book The Gifts of Imperfection, Dr. Brene Brown shar[...]

5 Signs You’re Being Too Nice & What to Do About It

December 21, 2023

Being a kind and compassionate person is definitely a positive trait, but what happens when being "too nice" starts to negatively impact your life and relationships? Being too nice can lead to people taking advantage of you and not valuing your efforts.  This can lead to frustration and resentment as you can't understand why someone would treat you that way after all you have done for them.  If you're a single person who always puts others first, it's possible that being too nice is the reason why you're st[...]

You know that feeling when you’ve gotten *so* good at handling life solo that you start telling yourself “this is fine”? 🙃 I see you. We’ve all built that cozy little fortress where nobody gets to hurt us anymore. But can we talk about how exhausting it is keeping those walls up 24/7? What if all that energy we put into protecting ourselves could be channeled into actually *feeling* something real again? Your lonely era taught you strength. You were meant for connection too. 💫 The scariest and bravest thing? Letting someone see behind those walls. Terrifying? Absolutely. Worth it? Always. #RealTalk #HeartCheck #VulnerabilityIsSexy #ConnectionMatters #BraveryLooksGoodOnYou #LonelyEraGraduate #TimeToFeel #YouDeserveMore​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ .#datingadvice #datingtips

We’ve all been there – that moment when you want to open up and be vulnerable but worry if it’s too soon or how they’ll react. 😳 I’m sharing 3 questions to ask before you open up that helped me (and can help you) know the right time to share your past with someone new. 🫶 I remember how terrifying it felt to be vulnerable with someone I was just getting to know. That’s why I’m breaking down exactly what worked for me and what I wish I’d known sooner. Whether you’re dealing with past relationships, personal struggles, or life experiences that shaped you, this guide will help you navigate those conversations with confidence. 💪 💭 Share your experience below!

❤️ Looking at this photo, I’m reminded of just how blessed I am to have this amazing man by my side. Through every storm and sunshine, my husband has been my rock, my safe harbor, my best friend. It’s easy to smile in photos, but what you don’t see are all the moments that brought us here - the late-night conversations, the way he holds my hand through tough decisions, the strength we’ve found in each other during life’s challenges. That genuine smile he’s wearing? That’s the same smile that lights up my darkest days and makes every victory sweeter. In this snapshot, we’re just us - cozy and comfortable, but what makes it truly special is the journey behind it. Every laugh line tells a story of joy we’ve shared, every shared glance holds years of understanding, and every moment together adds another thread to the tapestry of our love. To my incredible husband: Thank you for being my partner in all of life’s adventures. For loving me not just on the perfect days, but on the messy ones too. For growing with me, dreaming with me, and building this beautiful life together. You make every day feel like Valentine’s Day just by being you. They say marriage is about choosing each other every day, and I choose you - yesterday, today, and all our tomorrows. 💑✨ #LoveOfMyLife #MarriedLife #MyForever #TrueLove #ValentinesDay2025 #MarriageGoals #MyRock #BlessedWife #RealLove #MyPerson #ThickAndThin #GrowingTogether #LoveWins #ForeverLove #GratefulHeart​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
