Slow dating and fulfilling love starts with enjoying your own company. Georgianna and Steph make the case that until you can enjoy being on your own, you'll keep reaching for whoever's available to fill the silence — even when it's not a good fit.

They trace how the discomfort of an empty evening sends us to the phone, the plans, the next person, and how the inner critic gets loud the moment things go quiet. From there: why you can't really like yourself if you don't know yourself, what a "battery relationship" is, and why the parts of yourself you reject show up amplified in the people you attract.

Georgianna shares the six weeks she spent deliberately alone, and Steph her much slower, seven-year version. Then Georgianna walks through a simple hands-on practice for collecting evidence that your own company isn't as awful as you fear. In fact, you can even really enjoy it.

What you'll learn:

• Why filling silence with busyness is a pattern worth noticing
• How your inner voice was built, and how to rebuild a kinder one
• Why you can't really enjoy yourself until you actually know who you are
• What a "battery relationship" is, and why it drains you both
• How the traits you reject in yourself get amplified in who you attract
• Why dating from a place of single and empowered changes who you say yes to
• A body-based practice for enjoying your own company

Learning to be content on your own is the groundwork the rest of dating is built on — which is exactly what this season is all about.
