Standout Quotes:

“When you think you’re worthless, you dumb yourself down to stay with someone.”
“I used therapy to stay in touch with who I am and to realize it wasn’t all on me. It helped me understand that I have something of value to bring to the table.”
“It’s really about where you’re comfortable and the options available. I have too many clients who have spent a year working with the wrong people.”

Key Takeaways:

Reflect on your past relationships and identify patterns or behaviors that may have contributed to their demise. Use this self-awareness to guide your search for a healthier, more fulfilling partnership.
Prioritize your financial independence and be willing to walk away from an unhealthy situation, even if it’s scary. Explore ways to build your skills and income to support yourself.
Invest in yourself through coaching, counseling, or other personal development programs to rediscover who you are and what you truly desire in a partner.
When venturing back into the dating world, be selective about the platforms you use and don’t be afraid to switch sites if you’re not getting the desired results. Avoid free dating sites that may be rife with scammers.
Cultivate a vibrant, interesting life outside of your search for a partner. Pursue hobbies, travel, and activities that bring you joy and make you an attractive, well-rounded companion.
