Register for my March 29th Masterclass: For the High-Achiever Who Struggles in Dating
Like many of you, I've been completely obsessed with Love Story, the dramatized JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette series. Along with making me want to revamp my entire wardrobe, rock a red lip, drill a land line into our wall, it's also completely lit up my intimacy with my husband ; ).
I've had to ask: What is that about?
In this episode, I'm unpacking that question — because I think you're hungry for it too. We've optimized, predicted, and controlled our dating lives so thoroughly that we've sterilized them. No feeling. No aliveness. No beautiful, terrifying uncertainty.
So today I'm walking you through three concrete ways to bring some of that back — without throwing your phone in the garbage. It starts with sending the bolder message, saying something out loud to a stranger, and finding one place in your life where you let go of the outcome entirely.
This one is a little bit of a manifesto. I hope it lights something up for you.
