    Here’s a little snippet from when I was invited on Here’s a little snippet from when I was invited onto @singleladiespod with comedians Amy Gledhill and Harriet Kemsley, where we spoke about dating, vulnerability, relationships, and the emotional parts of ourselves that can unexpectedly show up.

Dating can awaken younger parts within us.
The part that wants to feel chosen, wanted, and truly seen.

So when dating feels emotional, it is not always just about the person in front of us.
Sometimes it is an older wound quietly asking,
will I be wanted this time?

The real work is learning to stay connected to ourselves whilst we date, rather than losing ourselves trying to prove our worth.

What younger part of you sometimes shows up in love?

    I was reminiscing about the time I was invited ont I was reminiscing about the time I was invited onto @singleladiespod with comedians Amy Gledhill and Harriet Kemsley, two single women in their 30s navigating the world of dating, relationships, vulnerability, and everything that comes with it.

We spoke about dating in general, but something that came up in the conversation has stayed with me ever since.

Dating can awaken parts of us we thought we had already outgrown.

The shy part.
The uncertain part.
The part that wonders,
am I attractive enough?
Interesting enough?
Too much?

And suddenly, we can feel much younger than we are.

Not because we are immature.
But because dating has a way of touching older emotional places within us.

The parts that longed to feel chosen.
Wanted.
Delighted in.
Met with warmth and care.

So when dating feels emotional, or a crush suddenly feels overwhelming, it may not only be about this person in front of us.

It may also be a younger part inside asking,
will I be wanted this time?

And this is where tenderness matters.

Not shaming those feelings.
Not forcing ourselves to “be more confident.”
But learning to stay connected to ourselves whilst we date.

To gently remind ourselves,
I’ve got you.
You do not have to go into this alone.

Because dating becomes very different when it stops being about proving our worth,
and becomes more about meeting someone whilst staying rooted in ourselves.

What younger part of you sometimes shows up in love?

#InnerChildHealing #ConsciousDating #AttachmentTheory #EmotionalAwareness #SelfWorth
    Dating can feel like everything is on the line. N Dating can feel like everything is on the line.

Not just “do I like them?”
but
“Will they choose me?”

And often, that pressure isn’t only about the date itself.

It’s older than that.

Parts of us can show up feeling unseen, unchosen, not quite enough…
hoping this new person will finally give us the validation we’ve been longing for.

That’s a lot for one interaction to carry.

So the deeper question becomes:

Can I stay connected to myself while dating?

Can I be present with my feelings without abandoning myself for approval?

Because when you stop asking someone else to decide your worth, something shifts.

There’s more ease.
More curiosity.
More choice.

What tends to come up for you when you’re dating?

#ConsciousDating #EmotionalAwareness #AttachmentTheory #SelfConnection #RelationshipHealing
    Have you ever felt like you and someone else are j Have you ever felt like you and someone else are just missing each other completely?

Like no matter how much you try, it turns into confusion, distance, or frustration.

It’s exhausting. And it can make you want to give up.

But sometimes, what’s needed isn’t something big or complicated.

It’s a few more words.
A little more space.
A bit more willingness to really hear each other.

To let someone into your world.
And to be brave enough to step into theirs.

That’s often where things begin to shift.

If you’re feeling stuck in this kind of dynamic, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Would you be open to trying something different?

    Okay, so now you know what a “gasm” is… but how do Okay, so now you know what a “gasm” is…
but how do we actually experience it?

Here I am coaching Liz O’Connor on reconnecting to aliveness after being ghosted. @elizabethpmoynihan 

A gasm is not only sexual.

It’s any moment where you feel fully in the flow of life again.

An orgasm.
A friendshipgasm.
An artgasm.

Like walking through a gallery and suddenly standing in front of a Picasso that moves something in you.

That moment where you stop thinking for a second and simply feel.

Wonder.
Connection.
Presence.
Aliveness.

A laughtergasm.
A creativagasm.
A moment where your body softens and your nervous system remembers joy again.

Because healing after ghosting is not only about processing pain.

It’s also about reconnecting to experiences that bring you back to yourself.

Back to your body.
Back to pleasure.
Back to life.

And sometimes, that’s the moment you realise…

“I don’t care if she calls anymore.”

Not because you shut down.
But because you came home to yourself again.

What gives you that feeling of flow lately?
