Inside this episode I debunk the myths around “settling”! 


I go deep on: 


  • Why I don’t believe in the traditional idea of “soul mates” 
  • Learning how to prioritize what truly matters in a relationship (instead of arbitrary items on a checklist that don’t matter) 
  • Learning to accept emotional availability when you’ve experienced insecurely attached relationship dynamics in the past
