230. How To Get Over The Fear Of Dating
Dating can feel like a rollercoaster of emotions—excitement, hope, fear, and sometimes, pure panic. In this episode, we’re tackling the fear that keeps so many incredible people stuck on the sidelines. If you’ve ever thought, What if I get rejected? What if I say the wrong thing? What if I’m not enough?—this one’s for you. I’ll walk you through how to move through dating fear with self-compassion, community, and a whole lot of self-trust. Because here’s the truth: fear is normal, and it doesn’t have to be in the driver’s seat. You don’t have to be fearless to find love—you just have to be willing to take messy, brave action toward what you want. Hit play, and let’s reframe your fear into power. Takeaways: ✨ Self-compassion isn’t just nice; it literally helps your body handle stress better. ✨ Feeling afraid to date? That’s human. You’re not alone. ✨ Messy action beats overthinking every time. ✨ The right person won’t need you to perform or say the perfect thing. ✨ If you desire more, it’s because it’s possible for you.
