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.

2 on the surface helpful ways we can bypass the truth of our (romantic) lives | Ep 139

September 10, 2025

The obsession with healing ourselves is real, and these days, more often than not, I find myself guiding clients to pull back on all the materials and content they're ingesting in order to stop perpetuating this idea that they're "broken" or that there's always "more" to do.

From the endless cycle of self-help books and courses that promise to "fix" us, to using gratitude as emotional white-out, these well-intentioned strategies can become sophisticated forms of self-avoidance. Because really the medicine you need is hidden in the very behavior you're trying to avoid—whether that's having the really hard conversation, making the financial decision you've been putting off, or finally facing the rejection you've been running from.

If you're someone who perpetually feels stuck but also like you've done so much work or all the right things, etc etc, this episode is for you. Today's conversation will challenge you to look at where you might be choosing comfort over truth—and what becomes possible when you stop.
