Why Dating Feels So Hard Right Now (And What to Do About It)

Brandi Davis (@backpocketcounseling) joins the podcast for a deep dive into modern dating, relationship anxiety, communication, attachment styles, and the patterns that keep us stuck.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist and founder of Back Pocket Counseling, Brandi shares why so many people feel exhausted by dating, how social media fuels comparison and self-doubt, the signs of emotional unavailability we often ignore, and why breaking unhealthy relationship cycles is harder than simply knowing better. We also discuss confidence, communication, mixed signals, attachment theory, and what healthy relationships actually look like in practice.
