39. Breaking Cycles in Dating (and in life!) with Jessica Amos

In this episode of Flirtations, we're breaking cycles, y'all! Cuz you are what? A cycle breaker!

With our incredible guest for this conversation, mindfulness coach and TEDx speaker Jessica Amos, we’ll explore how to break free from three types of cycles that play out in our dating lives - and beyond.

First, we'll look at generational cycles, or the cycles that become familiar to us through our childhood. These cycles take hold because of how we are raised, they form by making observations of our surroundings growing up, and we can even inherit them! How do these cycles find their way into our dating lives and impact how we form relationships, how we attach, and how we love?

Also up for consideration are mindset cycles, or those thought patterns we get stuck in that can fuel self doubt and negative thinking. How do we develop these cycles and what can we do about it to have more mental and emotional liberation in our own minds?

Finally, we'll be getting into behavior cycles, or our patterns of action that sometimes have us make the same decisions that aren't the best for us, leading to repeat mistakes and "learning" the same lesson over and over. What can you do if you feel like you can't break free from yourself and your own behavior?

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a loop or struggled with patterns that seem impossible to break, I hope you'll stay right here as we learn how to embrace change, cultivate a more empowered version of ourselves - and break cycles!
