How to Date Yourself: A Guide to Self-Love

July 6, 2022

When was the last time you had some solo time? No, not Netflix and chill solo time (although that can be nice too). I mean real quality, uninterrupted me-time. Chances are, it's been a while. And that's okay! We're all busy people, and it's hard to find the time to focus on ourselves. But what if I told you that date night doesn't always have to involve another person? You can date yourself. Going on a date with yourself can be a great way to recharge and connect with your own needs and desires. It can be eas[...]

How to Stop Sabotaging Yourself in Dating: Tips for a Better Love Life

May 17, 2022

Do you think you might be sabotaging your love life at times? If you're not getting the results you want in dating, it's possible that you're self-sabotaging. As a Dating Coach, I often share with clients this behavior isn't done on purpose and may be a habit they are unaware of. This means that you're unconsciously doing things that prevent you from finding love like canceling a date last minute because of cold feet saying you are busy with work. In this blog post, we'll discuss some tips to create self-awarene[...]

Speak Up to Express Your Needs! Ever notice how waiting for “the right time” to express your needs often means they never get addressed? I share my journey of realizing that while we should avoid conversations when emotions are flooding, consistently postponing our needs leads to dangerous resentment.

When we truly become still and listen to understand others, something magical happens. By setting aside our mental chatter and focusing completely on what someone else is saying, we create a space of genuine connection.

Active listening isn’t just waiting for your turn to speak. It’s being fully present—noticing not just their words, but their tone, their body language, what remains unsaid. When we listen this deeply to others, we’re actually strengthening our ability to tune into our own inner voice.

Think about it: each time you quiet your mind to truly hear someone else, you’re practicing the very skill needed to hear yourself clearly. The mental stillness required for deep listening becomes a pathway to self-understanding.

Try this today: in your next conversation, take a deep breath and intentionally slow down. Notice when your mind starts forming responses before they’ve finished speaking. Gently return to simply being with their words. This same practice of quieting the noise helps us recognize our own inner wisdom when we need it most.

The gift of your complete attention is precious—both to others and to yourself.

Ever noticed someone who wasn’t “traditionally attractive” yet somehow drew everyone’s attention? It wasn’t luck or accident—it was something much deeper.

The most magnetic people aren’t worried about looking perfect or saying all the “right” things. They’ve mastered something far more powerful... and I’m sharing my top 5 attraction secrets in my latest blog.

Want to know what singles consistently tell me are the most attractive qualities they find in potential partners? The answers might surprise you (and free you from so many unnecessary insecurities!)
