146. "I'm 37 and haven't been on a date. Am I too late?"

We are back with another listener Q&A episode. This week, Lily answers a question about feeling anxious and embarrassed about being "late to the dating party." The listener's question went something like this:

"I'm 37 and have no dating experience. I haven't even had a first kiss yet. It's been an area of great stress for me. How do I break out of this unhelpful mindset and cycle of inaction and start the process of dating while also protecting my well-being?"

This is such a juicy and common question! Lily offers coaching and advice on overcoming hard feelings about being late to the party, explains how to practice self-compassion, and shares steps to creating a clear and courageous path forward.

Hot-takes and how-tos covered in this episode include:

  • What if your no-dating experience didn't mean anything about you?

  • A reminder that thoughts are not facts

  • How to take care of your nervous system and feel your feelings effectively
