227 - Why I Pivoted

from Dating, Relationships, and Disability · host Kathy O'Connell

I recently pivoted my work in dating and relationships and began a new company, Relatability LLC. Our mission is simple but transformative: we believe love is for everyone, and we're dedicated to making relationships accessible for people with disabilities. We work at every level of the disability services ecosystem—training professionals, developing curriculums, and providing one-on-one coaching for individuals ready to pursue meaningful romantic relationships. Training Professionals in Disability Services Our professional training programs create significant ripple effects. If you work in disability services, you know that dating and relationships are often the least addressed aspect of the lives you serve, yet it's one of the areas they care about most. Our training equips you with knowledge, sensitivity, and practical tools to support individuals in navigating romantic relationships, including our Five Stages of Dating Success framework you can implement immediately. The Impact on Communities When professionals receive the right training, they create environments where people with disabilities feel empowered to pursue relationships with confidence and dignity. That transformation starts with investing in the people who do this vital work every day. Dating and Relationships Curriculums Our curriculum development includes our Empowering Relationships Curriculum and Five Stages of Dating Success, which will be published in a few months. These comprehensive, structured programs allow organizations to provide consistent, high-quality relationship education. They focus on building genuine self-worth that includes one's disability, increasing confidence in dating and relationships, and developing essential skills—deep dives into the mindsets and strategies that lead to healthy, fulfilling relationships. Personalized Individual Coaching I offer personalized one-on-one coaching for individuals ready to take action in their dating lives. We address specific challenges, fears, and goals each person brings. Whether you're just starting to think about dating, getting back into it, or working through obstacles, coaching provides accountability, guidance, and practical strategies to move forward with confidence. Creating a Comprehensive Ecosystem of Support Together, professional training, curriculum development, and individual coaching create a comprehensive ecosystem. Professionals facilitate conversations and create supportive environments. Organizations implement curriculums that normalize relationship education. Individuals receive personalized coaching to apply these principles. That's how we're making love accessible—through sustained, multi-level support that creates lasting change.
