(Rewind): 5 Secrets to Finding Love Even If You Hate Dating
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. You’ll want to bookmark this video and rewatch it before any date.
