I Think I Like You
A counterintuitive approach to navigating dating and building relationships in the digital age. This is for the woman who feels disenchanted by more common dating rhetoric and sometimes even questions if she wants a relationship at all. She already lives a rich, full life. She would like to share that with someone, but not at the expense of herself. What gives? That’s where we’re digging in.

Part II: Why eldest daughters/hero children can remain chronically single or just have so much resistance to dating | Ep 119

The Breakup / Post-Divorce Review
We're back with part II of our eldest daughter/hero child series, and the impact this has on our dating and romantic lives. If you haven't yet listened to episode 118, I highly recommend going back and doing so before digging into this one.
In this week's episode I'm discussing:
- Why the very traits of being the helpful, accommodating, rule following, good girl, who always did well in school, can also be the very thing/things that hold us back from deep connection and fulfilling partnership
- How our conscious and subconscious brains work here — how we can consciously desire a relationships but subconsciously actually fear one, actually not want one
- How our attachment patterns show up within all of this
- How remaining single can feel really, really safe
- How the fear of losing ourselves can cause us to push away healthy relationships, or attract people we can't get that close to
- Why it's so difficult to operate authentically and express our wants and needs — but how we actually go about doing it
- How remaining chronically single or being resistant to dating is often a means of protection
