27. Boundaries, Communication, and Dating as an Empath with Allison KT

In this episode of Flirtations, we welcome Allison KT on the show to help take on some of the most crucial aspects of dating that will help you date with much more clarity, confidence, and calm!

We start off by break downing what boundaries are, how you will use them in your dating life, and why you need them! Boundaries will be one of the cornerstones of your dating journey.

But we couldn't stop there. Cuz when it comes to setting boundaries, you'll also need communication skills, conflict resolution tools, and likely some strategies to work through people pleasing habits and thoughts! We have got you covered today as we get into ALL of this.

And if you're an empath (and people pleaser) like us, you know first hand how intense the dating process can be! What can you do when you feel EVERYTHING rather intensely? How do you manage your energy? (Spoiler alert: we'll talk about energetic boundaries here!)
