A lot of people say they’re single by choice — but what if that mindset is quietly keeping you stuck in the same dating cycle? If dating feels exhausting, disappointing, or like it never quite works out no matter how much advice you consume, this episode is for you. In this conversation, I break down the critical difference between being single by choice and being intentionally single — on purpose, with purpose, and why one protects you while the other actually changes you. You’ll learn why blame and avoidance feel comforting but drain your power, how responsibility (your ability to respond) becomes the gateway to real growth, and what it actually looks like to prepare for a healthy relationship instead of just waiting for one. If you’re ready to stop repeating what hasn’t worked and start becoming the kind of partner and presence you want to see more of in dating, your first step is clarity. You can book a Dating Diagnosis & Success Session to understand exactly what’s been blocking your results and what to work on next, and download my Dating Advice Discernment Guide to stop following advice that’s sabotaging your chances at love.

You’re not still single because you’re doing dating wrong — you might be under the influence of bad dating advice. Advice that sounds confident and empowering, but quietly trains you to stay guarded instead of connected. We live in a time where anyone with a platform can position themselves as a dating expert, and over time, we absorb beliefs about love, men, women, and relationships without realizing how deeply they shape what we expect, what we tolerate, and how emotionally available we’re able to be. That’s how so many people end up doing “everything right” in dating and still feeling stuck, exhausted, or disconnected — not because they’re broken, but because the advice they’ve been following was designed to help them protect themselves, not prepare for love. In this episode, we break down how influence actually works, why certain dating advice feels true even when it’s costing you connection, and how to discern whether the voices you’re listening to are expanding you or quietly keeping you stuck.

If early dating feels emotionally exhausting — like every pause, delay, or moment of uncertainty sends you spiraling — this episode is for you.

In this conversation, we talk about why control can start to feel safer than love, especially if your past has taught you that uncertainty usually comes before disappointment. You’ll learn how seeking clarity, reassurance, or certainty can look like emotional maturity — while quietly keeping you stuck in familiar patterns that never lead to the relationship you want. We unpack why “just trusting” doesn’t work, how meaning gets assigned to dating situations without you realizing it, and what actually has to shift so dating doesn’t feel like something that keeps happening to you.
