Every Man You Date Is Being Asked to Prove You're Not Broken

Every Man You Date Is Being Asked to Prove You're Not Broken

For years I dated as proof I wasn’t broken. Every man was evidence for a case I didn’t know I was building. This week I’m telling the origin story behind all of this work — the pattern I ran in dating, and the same pattern I found running everywhere else in my life.

IN THIS EPISODE

→ A Red Light Green Light on liking him vs. liking that he likes you

→ Why "the work" I did after my divorce didn’t touch the actual pattern

→ The sentence that cracked it open: it wasn’t the men, it was my pattern, my frame, my belief

→ Where this same pattern showed up outside of dating — brain fog, work, asking for help

→ Why I believe dating, leadership, and every role you play are the same subject wearing different clothes

IF THIS EPISODE RESONATED

Send it to a woman who’s still building a case for the defense. She doesn’t need a better man. She needs to see the pattern.
