5 Secrets to Finding Love Even If You Hate Dating | Rewind

Dating fatigue is real. Given the option, I think most people would choose to bypass the process entirely and skip directly to being in a meaningful relationship. But since science isn’t quite there yet, how can you manage your energy so the dating process—the part you need in order to FIND that relationship—doesn’t burn you out before you even GET to the good stuff?


In today’s Rewind episode, I share 5 tips that will help you find an energy-replenishing relationship rather than an energy-depleting one.


You’ll learn how to:

• Ease into getting to know someone rather than pinning all your hopes and dreams on them.

• Communicate from a place of strength rather than insecurity.

• Match your investment and energy to the stage of the relationship you’re actually in.

    Heartbreak has a way of convincing us that what we're feeling is unlike anything anyone else has ever experienced.But not all heartbreak is the same.The pain of losing someone you never really got to have isn't the same as the pain of losing a long-term relationship. And neither of those feels like the heartbreak of someone walking away without warning.The truth is, different kinds of heartbreak keep us stuck for different reasons.That's why, in this week's episode, I talk about the four kinds of heartbreak I see most often, why each one is so uniquely painful, and what it takes to move through it.If you're going through heartbreak right now, or you're still carrying one from years ago, I hope it gives you a little clarity, a little hope, and reminds you that you're not alone.---►► Your Healing Starts Here.
