Episode Synopsis

Dating in midlife can feel overwhelming. I get it. You show up, go on dates, and follow advice — you are doing all the ‘right’ things. But nothing sticks. Nothing feels solid or lasting. it’s just draining. And deep down, you wonder, ‘What if I never find the right person? You’re putting in so much effort and still ending up empty. It’s kind of like eating soup with a fork. You’re doing the motions, but barely getting anything out of it. Now, imagine picking up a spoon instead. Same soup. Same you. But suddenly, it works. Because now you are using the right tool - self-awareness, calmness, grounded energy. You are not forcing. You are not overthinking. And instead of confusion and burnout, you finally feel nourished.In this episode, I talk about why dating feels so broken today, the emotional toll, the patterns you might not even realize you are stuck in, and what you can do to make dating feel less exhausting. I talk about how to shift from dating with anxiety to dating with clarity and how and why that shift can change everything.
