In this episode of Fishing Without Bait, we welcome back our imaginative, energetic returning guest Santina Grace for Part 2 of a deeply insightful conversation about mindfulness, self-awareness, grounding practices, and the inner battles so many of us face every day. Together, Santina and Jim dive into themes of anchoring thoughts, depersonalization, perspective shifts, emotional resilience, and reclaiming personal agency.  Santina shares a powerful example of using sensory-based anchors—in this case, strawberry essential oil—to help a client overcome cravings by reconnecting with a memory tied to freedom, comfort, and identity. The discussion expands into how grounding techniques and sensory awareness can support those dealing with derealization or feeling out of place in their own lives. Jim and Santina also explore how filtered media realities and comparison culture distort our self-worth, leading many to believe they don't belong. They remind us that turmoil has always existed in every era, and the real work is nurturing compassion—for ourselves first, and then for others whose perspectives differ.  Together they unpack: • The difference between worry (paralyzing) and concern (actionable awareness) • How every moment is a choice point • The importance of checking in with ourselves mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually • How meditation can look like focus, creativity, movement, or music—not silence • How the mind's chatter creates most internal conflict • The dynamic between the “I-self” and “my-self” • How befriending your “inner critic” or “inner witch” can reveal unmet needs and opportunities for self-care  This conversation is rich with humor, honesty, and the kind of grounded wisdom that encourages us not to “find ourselves,” but to create ourselves with intention, compassion, curiosity, and joy.

But it can also backfire if done without tact.Here are five tips to help you navigate the pros and cons of hardballing so you can decide if it's right for you.►Please subscribe/rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts http://bit.ly/lastfirstdateradio ►If you're feeling stuck in dating and relationships and would like to find your last first date, sign up for a complimentary 45-minute breakthrough session with Sandy https://lastfirstdate.com/application ►Join Your Last First Date on Facebook https://facebook.com/groups/yourlastfirstdate ►Get Sandy's books, Becoming a Woman of Value; How to Thrive in Life and Love https://bit.ly/womanofvaluebook , Choice Points in Dating https://amzn.to/3jTFQe9 and Love at Last https://amzn.to/4erpj7C ►Get FREE coaching on the podcast! https://bit.ly/LFDradiocoaching ►FREE download: “Top 10 Reasons Why Men Suddenly Pull Away” http://bit.ly/whymendisappear ►Group Coaching: https://lastfirstdate.com/the-woman-of-value-club/ ►Website → https://lastfirstdate.com/ ► Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/lastfirstdate1/ ►Get Amazon Music Unlimited FREE for 30 days at https://getamazonmusic.com/lastfirstdate

Afraid of getting hurt again? If you've experienced heartbreak, it's no wonder that opening your heart again can feel terrifying. Past breakups have a way of whispering, “Be careful.

A dating funnel might not sound romantic, but it's one of the smartest ways to date in today's world. Instead of dating one person at a time and hoping they're “it,” a dating funnel allows you to meet, talk to, and go out with a few people at once—so you can discover who's truly right for you without investing time, energy, and emotions too quickly. Think of it like a sales funnel, but instead of closing a deal, you're opening your heart to the right person.

Why should you detach from the outcome in dating? It's not about keeping the person you're dating at arm's length. The reasons for detaching from the outcome are all about not losing yourself or jumping ahead into a future that doesn't exist yet.Otherwise, dating can feel like a rollercoaster — one minute you're excited, the next you're spiraling into "what does this mean?" territory after a text or a look or an unanswered message. You want things to work out. But when you grip too tightly to a specific outcome — whether it's a second date or a fantasy future — you lose your ability to stay present. You stop listening, observing, and enjoying the moment. And you start performing, pleasing, or projecting.What does it look like to detach from the outcome in dating — not because you don't care, but because you want to stay level-headed? Here are five ways to start.►Please subscribe/rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts http://bit.ly/lastfirstdateradio ►If you're feeling stuck in dating and relationships and would like to find your last first date, sign up for a complimentary 45-minute breakthrough session with Sandy https://lastfirstdate.com/application ►Join Your Last First Date on Facebook https://facebook.com/groups/yourlastfirstdate ►Get Sandy's books, Becoming a Woman of Value; How to Thrive in Life and Love https://bit.ly/womanofvaluebook , Choice Points in Dating https://amzn.to/3jTFQe9 and Love at Last https://amzn.to/4erpj7C ►Get FREE coaching on the podcast! https://bit.ly/LFDradiocoaching ►FREE download: “Top 10 Reasons Why Men Suddenly Pull Away” http://bit.ly/whymendisappear ►Group Coaching: https://lastfirstdate.com/the-woman-of-value-club/ ►Website → https://lastfirstdate.com/ ► Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/lastfirstdate1/ ►Get Amazon Music Unlimited FREE for 30 days at https://getamazonmusic.com/lastfirstdate
