You're Not Dating Him. You're Dating Your Pattern.

You're Not Dating Him. You're Dating Your Pattern.

Have you ever found yourself further along in a relationship in your head than you actually were in real life?

In this episode, Coach Ivy shares a personal story about dating her imagination instead of reality, introduces the five relationship archetypes, and explains why you keep choosing the same dynamic — even when you know better.

Because here's what most women don't realize: you're not choosing bad men because you have bad taste. You're choosing familiar men because your pattern recognizes them. And until you name the pattern — you'll keep dating it.

→The five relationship archetypes — the Seeker, the Lioness, the Matriarch, the Valkyrie, and the Empath
