that's not so bad.

I can accept that.

So I want to talk to you today about the four biggest dating mistakes I still see women making and a lot of the ones I made myself.

And this is not to shame anybody, but this is just to let you know why they happen and more importantly, what you can do to break them.

Here's my promise.

By the end of this episode, I hope you're going to walk away knowing exactly where you might be holding yourself back, how you can stop repeating the same old cycles, and then how to start dating in a way that makes you feel stronger, clearer, and more true to you because that's what you deserve.

And by the way, you're not just going to hear what the mistakes are.

You're going to have tools to finally break free of those and move a little bit closer to the relationship that I know you should be having and that you deserve.

Before we dive in, if this podcast has ever helped you, the best way you can help me back is by leaving a quick review.

That's all I ask.

It's how other women find these conversations when they need them the most.

Okay, mistake number one, dating for validation, not connection.

I've done it all.

I went on dates with men who didn't ask me a single question, who left me feeling like I wasn't visible.

And yet they wanted to see me again.

And I treated it like it was some kind of victory, like, oh, thank goodness they wanted to see me again.

I completely ignored the fact that I didn't even enjoy myself because in my head, being wanted meant that I mattered.

And this is where so many women get stuck.

We confuse attention with affection.

So let that just sit for a minute because if you're looking just for attention versus the affection, that can be a big problem.
