In this episode of the podcast 'How to Love Successfully', Dr. Mari Kovanen, a registered psychologist and a conscious dating coach, explores the concept of vulnerability, particularly in the context of dating and relationships for strong female leaders.
Dr. Mari notes that successful relationships require certain ingredients, including emotional safety, connection, shared values, and mutual compassion. She underlines the fact that we all long to be seen as we are and underscores the importance of vulnerability in this context. The episode places a particular emphasis on the need to embrace all parts of ourselves, even the uncomfortable ones, and how these aspects can determine the depth of our relationships.
Dr. Mari offers tips for successful dating, including resilience against rejection and mindful communication. The podcast episode is designed to guide listeners on how to navigate vulnerability and build meaningful, emotionally safe relationships.
