Dating fatigue is real. Given the option, I think most people would choose to bypass the process entirely and skip directly to being in a meaningful relationship. But since science isn’t quite there yet, how can you manage your energy so the dating process—the part you need in order to FIND that relationship—doesn’t burn you out before you even GET to the good stuff? In today’s Rewind episode, I share 5 tips that will help you find an energy-replenishing relationship rather than an energy-depleting one. You’ll learn how to: • Ease into getting to know someone rather than pinning all your hopes and dreams on them. • Communicate from a place of strength rather than insecurity. • Match your investment and energy to the stage of the relationship you’re actually in. You’ll want to bookmark this video and rewatch it before any date. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Why do we chase the wrong people and even push away the relationships we say we want? In this week’s episode, I speak with entrepreneur and bestselling author Lewis Howes, and we unpack the surprising ways we can sabotage love without even realizing it. From being attracted to what feels exciting but unavailable to letting old wounds dictate our instincts, we explore why the “good ones” can feel less appealing, and how we can retrain our brains. If you’ve ever wondered why you’re drawn to the wrong people or why healthy love feels strange, this conversation is going to hit home. --  ►► Elevate your planning this month with the Big A## Calendar.
