"Should You Date Men That Are Younger Than You?" That's the question I'm answering on this episode of the Thrive in Love After Podcast. Watch this episode on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/KGLewHWrSdI Key Takeaways from the episode: Challenge conditioning: Question societal expectations influencing your dating choices. There is no right or wrong: Understand there's no fixed rule for age in dating, just personal preferences. Trust your instincts: Follow your heart when deciding to date someone younger. Shared values matter: Ensure compatibility in life stages and values for a healthy relationship. Your choice, your life: Don't be swayed by others' opinions; make decisions that feel right for you. IMO, good and bad decisions don't exist!

Take my new assessment. here: https://thriveandmanifest.com/taketheassessment Hello friend, it's great to be back after a short break. Today, I want to dive into a topic that's been on my mind for a while – Cool Girl Syndrome in dating and relationships. I'm excited to talk about this because it's something I struggled with during my twenties and thirties, and I'm sure many of you can relate. Key Takeaways from the episode: Cool Girl Syndrome (CGS) involves being overly accommodating in your interactions, going along with everything the other person wants. It's driven by the fear of coming across as needy, desperate, or being rejected. Engaging in CGS prevents authentic connections and makes it hard to assess compatibility. The longer you stay in CGS, the more resentment builds because you abandon yourself. Over time, CGS creates an unhealthy relationship dynamic where your partner thinks their behaviour is okay. You block intimacy and genuine connections when you don't show your true self. CGS leads to overthinking and overanalyzing situations. Action Steps: Reflect on your past dating and relationship experiences to identify instances where CGS may have influenced your behaviour. Write a story about what you'll do differently in the future to break free from CGS. Ask yourself what feels light and authentic in situations rather than following norms or overthinking. Get clear on your wants, boundaries, and true needs, and practice communicating them in various areas of your life. Conclusion: I want to encourage you to be yourself and communicate honestly in your dating and relationships. Remember, relationships involve two humans with insecurities and vulnerabilities. Owning your side of the street and working through your fears can lead to personal growth and more fulfilling connections.

Hi, welcome back; in this podcast episode, we're going to dive into the impact of personal development on our romantic relationships. And more specifically, why you might still be struggling with success in this area even though you've been working on yourself for years. I'll be sharing my own personal journey of growth that began when I had to focus on mending my relationship with food and body after things took a negative in my late 30s. So, here's what we cover in this episode: Why, despite making progress in other areas of my life through personal development, I found it challenging to stop repeating unhealthy love habits and create healthy romantic relationships.

Welcome back to The Thrive In Love After 40 podcast! In today's episode, I delve into a thought-provoking topic - relationship advice! I discuss the importance of critically evaluating generalised advice before applying it to your unique situation. Join me as we explore the limitations of common advice seen on social media and embrace the complexities of human connections. Episode Highlights: The Generalized Advice: If They Liked Me, They'd Make Me a Priority Let's talk about that advice we often see - "If someone really cares, they'll make you their top priority." Recognising that relationships are multi-layered is essential, and blanket advice may not fit everyone's circumstances. Communication and Actions Matter We all know communication is key in any relationship. But how do we differentiate genuine efforts from excuses? Let's find out why actions speak louder than words and why open, honest communication is vital. Trusting Your Intuition Your gut feelings can provide valuable insights into a relationship. It's time to learn to trust yourself more. I'll share some personal experiences illustrating the importance of listening to intuition. Assessing Compatibility: Ready, Able, and Willing As you navigate the complexities of relationships, I introduce the "RAW" acronym (Ready, Able, and Willing) to assess a partner's capacity for a healthy partnership. Understanding that life circumstances may impact prioritization temporarily, I emphasize the significance of open communication and mutual respect. Conclusion: In this episode, I've highlighted the importance of avoiding blindly applying generalized relationship advice to every situation. I encourage you to explore your unique circumstances and trust your intuition. Remember that relationships are as diverse as the individuals involved, and what works for one person may not work for another. Focus on open communication and mutual respect, and assess compatibility based on readiness, ability, and willingness. Thank you for joining me for this chat.

Looking around social media there's definitely no shortage of people identifying with labels -- and while I'm of the mindset "you do you boo" I wanted to share with you my POV on the downside of getting attached to labels -- especially when you're trying to make any kind of change.

So my experience landing in New York was NOT quite the picture-perfect experience I hoped for -- in fact quite the opposite! What the sneaky universe did was it presented me with a variation of my worst-case scenario coming true!! In this episode, I share what happened, why I'm grateful it happened and what I feel it was reflecting back to me -- because things we experience are mirrors if we choose to perceive them that way -- which I do!! And I can honestly say I've had some of my biggest "aha" moments from figuring out the reflections from people I met in all areas of life and the experiences I've been through. I also talk (again) about what to do when the person you are dating pulls away from you -- this was a question from Instagram so wanted to touch on it again. Enjoy the episode -- and if you're over 40 and finding dating a complete struggle be sure to check out Love After 40

Have you ever stood in front of someone who makes you feel nervous - they ask you a very simple question - and rather than giving them the very simple truthful answer --you find yourself in the middle of a word vomit spiral concocting an answer that you think sounds better than the simple truth?! Maybe you have, maybe you haven't hit reply and let me know. I used to do this on dates all the time -- not so much the word vomiting -- but I used to put on an act and become the version of me I thought was going to please the guy I was on the date with -- you know to try and make sure he liked me. So for example maybe agreeing I was ok with a casual thing when I wasn't -- one of the reasons for that was I had a lack mindset and I thought if I said I wanted a relationship, that would scare him off and then NO ONE else would come along. Exaggerating how much I liked something he did -- in an attempt to create a greater connection. Or saying I wasn't busy when I was -- when a guy asked me out last minute -- or actually a bigger non-truth I told was telling a guy I like I just happened to be in Orlando so we should meet -- when I actually went to Orlando specifically to see him, convinced that I could get him to fall in love with me!! ( I told you, I've done some crazy man stuff!) NONE of these examples made me feel good -- because nothing feels good when it's not your TRUTH. And when you're dating -- what's going to attract the person for you to you -- is you being yourself and speaking your truth. What isn't going to help you meet someone and be in a relationship that feels good is putting on masks that hide who you are and your truth. If you want to learn more about this topic you can tune in to the latest Thrive in Love Podcast Episode here. I'm actually writing this email to you sat in 61D on a Virgin Atlantic plane 20 minutes away from landing at JFK to be reunited with my sweet man -- and the reason I felt inspired to talk on this topic was thanks to what happened to me at border control last time I landed in NEW YORK!!

Are you over 40 and can you relate to feeling fear about dating again? After 40, when you're really not where you thought you were gonna be in your romantic relationships-- you're not on the timeline that you had set for yourself - maybe you thought you were gonna be married, settled down, all of that but it's not happened. And it's not been through a lack of trying but every time you try it just doesn't work out -- and you've faced a lot of rejection and pain in the process. Or if you were on your timeline and you got what you wanted, you got married, you had kids. And then it all started to unravel. You got divorced or separated or maybe you've suffered a loss. Whichever one of these scenarios is real for you I understand the fear of actually dipping your toe back in the dating water is, is real. And the problem this creates for you is: 1. you don't date at all 2. Or you date but you struggle to be yourself so you date as a version of yourself that you think is more likely to be accepted and this energy is picked up on and can repel what you want away or you end up settling. Neither of which moves you towards the relationship you desire with the “perfect” someone for you who loves you for you. SO ultimately you have to find a way to move past it and in today's episode I share 10+ things you can do to move past the fear ( I lost count because there were so many pieces of gold in there so could be more than 10!)

Hello, my little sausages. Welcome back to another episode, please, if you haven't already. Grab yourself a brew or get your walking shoes on and get outside. Because today we are talking about something that I talk about in my programme, the secure and confident woman in love, which is the concept of outsourcing and self-sourcing your feelings. So it's gonna be a good un!! Back in the day - when I was still in my 30s - raving it up on the house party scene and generally acting like a bit of a nutcase - dating and men were a very toxic area of my life. I crashed from dating no one and swearing off men altogether to entertaining any guy that showed me the slightest bit of interest - and something that I did all the time - which is what I am talking about in today's pod episode - is what I now know as outsourcing. If you find yourself caught in any of these thought loops when you're dating someone: Do they like me? What does that action or what does that text mean? What do I have to do to get the outcome I want? When will they text? How can I get them to ask me out again? How do I need to act to get them to like me? This one is for you. In this episode, I explore the concept of outsourcing vs self-sourcing your worth and feelings of safety and security- the impact that has when you date - especially in the beginning stages - the power of learning how to be a self-sourcer and how this is connected to your masculine and feminine energy.
