The Relationship Circle

In this final episode of season three, I’m reflecting on the biggest dating shifts we’ve witnessed in 2025 - and what they’re revealing about where we’re headed when it comes to love, connection, and self-worth. From the rise of boundaries and values-based dating to the growing role of AI, dating burnout, and the return of in-person connection, this conversation is a deep breath for anyone feeling...

Have you ever caught yourself labeling someone a narcissist after one bad date? Or said you were “setting a boundary” when really, you were just avoiding an uncomfortable conversation?

From gaslighting to attachment styles, these terms can help us understand ourselves… but t...

If you’ve ever spiraled into anxiety over something your partner might be thinking… or held back from speaking your truth because you were “pretty sure” how they'd react - this episode is for you. Today we explore how assumptions quietly sabotage our relationships.

If you’ve ever found yourself swiping left over something as simple as height, this episode is for you. Today, we’re diving into Tinder’s new height filter - but more importantly, what our dating preferences really say about us.

If dating has started to feel more draining than exciting, you’re not alone. In this episode, we’re unpacking the very real (and very common) experience of dating fatigue - what causes it, how it shows up, and what you can do to move through it with more clarity and self-compassion. From the addictive nature of dating apps to the pressure to “keep trying” without a real plan, dating can quickly be...

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in the same painful dating patterns, emotionally unavailable partners, one-sided connections, chasing love while abandoning yourself - you’re not alone.

Do you really need to be fully healed before dating again? Or is that belief actually keeping you stuck? In this episode, we’re breaking down the myth that you have to be perfectly healed to start a new relationship.
