In this episode, I delve into the power of embracing your circumstances when it comes to dating, particularly for women with children. I discuss the societal pressures and negative narratives that often discourage women from dating, especially those over 35 with children. By sharing my personal experiences, I aim to empower women to acknowledge their circumstances, identify what they want to change, and prioritize those changes to enhance their dating lives. I emphasize the importance of being intentional about the type of partner you seek and the necessity of reassessing your dating strategies to ensure they align with your personal goals and circumstances.
Additionally, I share a personal affirmation inspired by a quote from Audre Lorde, "Nothing I accept about myself can be used against me to diminish me." This affirmation underscores the importance of self-acceptance and living unapologetically, free from the judgments of others. I encourage listeners to write their own affirmations to reinforce their self-worth and navigate life and dating with confidence. By embracing who you are and what you want, you can create a more fulfilling and empowered dating experience.
