Ep. 28 - How to Date Without Settling: The Truth About Standards, Attachment, and Self-Worth with Emily Freeman
Have you’ve ever wondered, “Am I asking for too much in my relationship?” or “Why do I keep attracting the wrong people?”—if so this episode is for you. Today, I’m joined by Emily Freeman, a sought-after dating coach who helps women break free from toxic patterns and start dating from a place of alignment and healing, not fear.
In this conversation, Emily shares how her own story led her to this work, what attachment styles reveal about the way we love, and whether an anxious-avoidant relationship can actually work. We talk about high standards vs. unrealistic expectations, the lie that you’re too much, and the power of not settling—even when it feels like everyone else is.
Whether you’re single, dating, or healing from heartbreak, Emily’s wisdom will help you feel seen, grounded, and more hopeful about love than ever before.
