Welcome back!! This episode is in 2 parts.

You guys asked the questions (via insta story) and WE ANSWERED!

In this episode, I chat to Katie McNamara from Single Sounds Podcast for a candid chat about modern dating. We explore everything from approaching people in real life to dealing with ghosting and maintaining healthy relationships. We share our own experiences and practical advice - this episode will help you navigate the dating world with confidence and help you feel less alone in the sometimes chaotic world of modern dating!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Approaching people in real life: Be bold and remember you have nothing to lose. If you get rejected, it's not necessarily about you.
• Multi-dating can help reduce dating burnout and provide perspective on potential matches.
• How do you deal with being the only single friend in a friendship group?
• How to deal with the fear of being ghosted?
• What to do when your boyfriend's best friend makes no effort with you?
• How do you know when you've found "the spark" on a date?
• What to do when the person you are dating says they aren't ready for a serious relationship but will "get back to you" in a few months?
• Healthy relationships involve maintaining individual identities, consistent behaviour, and open communication.
• The "spark" is often misunderstood. A good connection should feel like getting into a warm bath - safe and comfortable!
• Give potential partners a chance beyond the first date, as nerves or circumstances may affect initial impressions.
• Understanding attachment styles can provide insight into dating behaviours and help build more secure relationships.
• Balancing time between friends and romantic partners is crucial for maintaining a healthy social life and relationship.

QUOTES FROM ME:

"I always knew that he was gonna tell me what the date would be the next week. When you do meet the right person that's as keen on you as you are them, you actually are never questioning if they're going to ghost you."

"I romanticise my solo time a lot. You have to do that. “

"Butterflies are horrible. I really hope I never ever have to feel like that ever again. It's the one of the worst feelings I think when you're dating. I think that's worse than being ghosted."

Hello! Long time no chat! Sorry for the delay - LIFE HAS BEEN BUSY! I have completed the first year (out of 3) of my hypnotherapy and counselling course, so I recently finished a HUGE assessment! I have started a new role, all whilst trying to be a great friend, girlfriend and all whilst staying cute! It's hard x

This podcast is for everyone, whether you're single, dating, uninterested in a love life right now or in a relationship! There's lots of little nuggets in this episode you can take away in various aspects of your Life!

Joining me today is Lauren Josephine, who brings her unique insights and experiences to the table. We really HONE IN on the 'ICK' in this episode and talk about why we feel icks, where they're reasonable and how to overcome them - when we are truly honest with ourselves and know that we NEED to!

Since recording this episode earlier this year, Lauren has since gotten engaged and has a wedding in 4 months at time of posting!! In this episode, she talks about meeting her now partner on REDDIT!! Remember it is an international website - but the guy that commented on her dating chat Reddit chain, happened to live round the corner!!

We discuss dating apps, knowing how to enjoy that 'safe, comfortable' feeling with someone and not going for the one you have to 'chase.'

So, cozy up, enjoy whilst getting ready for a date, or make your car journey go A LOT quicker & get ready for some thought-provoking discussions.

Let's navigate this weird and wonderful doesn't-come-with-a-handbook-World of dating and relationships. Enjoy & remember to rate it if you like it!

Thanks for coming back for another episode!

This podcast is for everyone, whether you're single, dating, uninterested in a love life right now or in a relationship! There's lots of little nuggets in this episode you can take away in various aspects of your Life!

Joining me today is Pippa May, who brings her unique insights and experiences to the table. Get ready for an enriching conversation as she shares more about the incredible work she does with her clients and the lessons she's learned dating and falling in love, too. She's very open about her own journey in finding love, the boundaries she put in place for herself, the self-confidence journey she went on and when she really felt that her current partner was THE ONE!

I also chat about some of my past bad dating decisions and where I've completely deterred nice men away, through hyper independence!

We dive into feminine and masculine energies and the different dynamic between these energies.

We're also delving into some soul-nourishing topics. We discuss the importance of not punishing ourselves if we want to improve something about ourselves—let's ditch the "I'm too much this" or "I'm not enough that" mindset!

Also - dating apps aren't necessarily the enemy—as long as we use them mindfully and not when we're feeling hungover, tired, or anxious, etc...

So, cozy up, enjoy whilst getting ready for a date, or make your car journey go A LOT quicker & get ready for some thought-provoking discussions.

Let's navigate this weird and wonderful doesn't-come-with-a-handbook-World of dating and relationships. Enjoy & remember to rate it if you like it!

Hey you, welcome back!

This feels like quite a NAKED episode to be honest. In this episode, I chat about my views on 'chatting to multiple people in the dating stage...' there's so many different opinions on this, so it really varies from person to person... I share my most recent experience with you in this episode!

Hey you,

If you've just come off a date, come listen RIGHT NOW!

Welcome to this mini episode where I chat about being VULNERABLE when dating - I know, scary right?! Remember, the other person will be feeling the same as you - it's always daunting to send that check-in text, so TAKE THE PLUNGE and do it first. I chat about why that'll then help put the ball in THEIR court for asking you on that next date ;)

WELCOME TO Season 3, episode 1 or episode 21 overall!

This episode is SO good if you're feeling a little too guilty about treating yourself a lot right now. SPOILER ALERT: I'M SO HERE FOR IT! This is all about taking control of your life and romanticising it, ESPECIALLY whilst your single - that's when you have all the time to build your life and create all your tools that you need when navigating different emotions. I chat about what romanticising your life looks like, how it feels and WHY it's important, both in and out of a relationship.

Grab a cuppa (or wine!) and enjoy!
