Self-care is the most powerful tool I have found for rebuilding confidence and creating real connections in the dating world after divorce. I want to take you beyond the usual ideas of self-care and explore how to truly care for your whole self. How often do you check in with your values before saying yes to something? Have you noticed how old wounds from past relationships can still influence the way you show up today?

In this episode, I talk about healing unresolved trauma, tending to the parts of yourself that still feel unseen, and making choices that keep you aligned with who you are at your core. I walk you through the key pillars of self-care: spiritual, social, mental, physical, emotional, and financial, and share ways each one can help you feel more confident and grounded in dating. You’ll hear tools you can use to set an intention before a date, reflect afterward with honesty, and stay rooted in your truth no matter what.

More than anything, I want you to remember that the relationship you have with yourself sets the tone for every other connection in your life.
