Are You Dating From Survival Mode? Fear vs. Joy in Dating
Do you date from survival, fear, or joy? If you’ve ever spiraled over a text, accepted crumbs because something felt better than nothing, or cut off a good man before he could get close, this episode is for you. In this episode, I break down the 3 modes of dating: survival, fear, and joy. Your dating mindset shapes who you choose, what you accept, and how you feel the whole time. I’m getting real about dating anxiety, how to stop settling, and how to attract a high-value man by dating from curiosity and confidence instead of scarcity and self-protection. This is the kind of dating advice for women that I give my clients every day, because getting a boyfriend who’s right for you starts with the mode you’re in.
