Taking a break from dating IS NECESSARY at times, but it is only helpful if you work on yourself during the break.

Inside today’s episode I discuss:


  • How becoming the best version of oneself is crucial for attracting and maintaining a healthy, loving relationship.
  • Acknowledging that current dating approaches may not be working is the first step towards making positive changes.
  • Taking a break from dating allows for intentional work to rewire the brain for healthy love.
  • Seeking support and guidance is essential in the process of creating the desired relationship.
  • It is never too late to change and create the kind of relationship one desires.
