Anxious attachment

Do you find yourself falling in love quickly?

Texting etiquette

Alright, I’m going break down texting and dating once for all. It was always confusing to me before I figured out my philosophy on it but once I did, it made the whole texting debacle a lot easier.

We are the rule

How many times have we heard a potential partner tell us what they want (or don’t want) but because we wanted another thing from them we thought we could change them and they would eventually want the same?

New love for your old love

Break ups are hard. Obviously! We all process them differently but, I think we can agree breakups are sad.

Testing, testing 1,2,3

How do we know when we are faced with a romantic test? Well, I just experienced one so, I have fresh perspective to share.

New year, same sobriety

The New Year is special for many reasons. I love the feeling of a fresh start, a new page and a new beginning.

Dunking and bleaching

2017 was a big high for me. I got sober. I started long distance running.

Stop looking. No really.

When I was single for 8 years, I was pretty desperate for a relationship.

I’ve been single again for about 7 months. And I’m loving it.

Single and the Holidays

Being single around the Holidays tends to get a bad rap. Movies depict this scenario as being sad and the single person (it’s usually a woman) longing for love. And the trope has stuck. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. Being single isn’t a curse or something we are afflicted with or a burden. Being single is a time of self discovery, exploration and being selfish.

The new relationship anxiety

So, you meet a guy. First date went well. He asked for a second date on the first, score. Second date went great too. There’s been some fun playful banter over text in-between seeing each other. Third date is even better. And now, you’re not really hearing from him. He’s still reaching out but, maybe there’s more time in-between his responses to you. The anxiety sets in. Is it me? What happened? Is he bailing?

Foolish games

One of the biggest complaints I hear about dating as a love coach is the amount of games involved when seeing someone. I understand the complaint and I used to have a similar one even though I was out there playing all sorts of game too. Now, I recognizes games are useless and not needed. What is sorely need in place of games is radical vulnerability and boundaries. What’s the difference? Glad you asked!

Aging

I am starting to see the effects of aging. It’s a new phenom for me and one that will continue, God willing.

How to get over an ex

Whew. This is going to be one my most venerable posts. Why? Well, the stories I share here used to create a lot of shame within me. And though, I don’t feel that shame presently, sharing this still feels raw. It feels really important to share though because I know other humans go through this too. How do we get over an ex we can’t seem to get over?
