Get ready for a realistic look at what's happening in the dating world and how to navigate it confidently and get the results you deserve.
Many people ask me how to get back into the dating scene after a divorce. It's a common question, and the answer is often complex. Divorce can be a challenging experience, and the level of difficulty can vary depending on the circumstances.
Whether you were the one who initiated the divorce or it was unexpected, you may be feeling a range of emotions. This can include feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or mixed emotions.
One of the biggest challenges after separation is loneliness. Having so much free time can be overwhelming, and you might crave companionship. However, the thought of dating again can be daunting.
It's completely normal to have mixed feelings about returning to the dating world. You might be excited about a second chance but also nervous about the unknown or the possibility of failure.
Today, I want to focus on the practical aspects of dating after divorce, based on my own experience.
While it might feel scary at first, I promise you dating can be fun and rewarding. Let's explore some practical steps to help you navigate this new chapter in your life.

You know how we love a good shortcut, right? Relationship theories/tests on social media
are like that - bite-sized explanations for complex situations. They're catchy, relatable, and promise a quick fix for our love lives – which EVERYONE wants.
Plus, they spark conversation and debates, which keeps people scrolling and sharing.
But do they work and are they true? In my
opinion, they are fun but oversimplified. I see people taking advice from social media that they thought they understood but got it wrong – often people
don’t see what they are doing. There is some great advice on SM and some terrible advice out there. In this week's podcast, I talk about:
Are they fact or fiction?
Is reality TV a reflection of real-life dating? This week's episode dives deep into shows like Married at First Sight to expose the surprising truth: the drama you see on screen is often a mirror reflecting the challenges singles face every day.
