187. Sad Doesn’t Mean Broken - Real Talk on Mental Health & Dating w/ Dr. Caroline Leaf
In this episode, Dr. Caroline Leif and I are bringing you the conversation about what it really means to “not be okay”, especially when it comes to dating and our mental health. We cover why sadness or anxiety doesn’t mean we’re broken, and how the pressure to be constantly happy or healed can actually make things worse. Caroline shared practical tools from her new book Help in a Hurry, including how to create a 63-second pause to calm spiraling thoughts and respond with more clarity and confidence. We also talked about how past dating experiences shape our beliefs and how to gently rewire those patterns over time. This conversation was such a powerful reminder that we all have the inner wisdom to navigate hard moments, and that growth starts by giving ourselves compassion.
