- Learn why healing must come before dating, not during it

- Receive permission to slow down and choose yourself first
Episode Description:
Imagine if women were given a “dating boot camp” before ever stepping into the dating world.
A place where we were taught the red flags.
The texts that sound good but mean nothing.
The patterns that repeat.
The behaviors that slowly erode our self-worth.
In this deeply vulnerable solo episode, Nicole shares how online dating nearly broke her emotionally and spiritually. She opens up about the pain, anxiety, and stress that led her into blackout behaviors and emotional numbness, and how dating became a way of coping instead of connecting.
She talks about discovering the hidden side of online dating, including women’s safety groups that expose repeated patterns of dishonesty, manipulation, and emotional unavailability. What shocked her most was realizing how many of the same men, with the same behaviors, were still showing up years later with different women.
This episode is a warning, a mirror, and a call to self-respect.
If you are newly out of a relationship, feeling unhealed, or looking for dating to fill an emotional void, this conversation is your invitation to pause. To protect your heart. To honor your body. And to remember that your worth does not come from being chosen.
Your body is sacred.
Your heart deserves safety.
And love should never require you to abandon yourself.
