98. My 6 Month Dating Myself Experiment

from Deep Within with Marina Triner, The Compassionate Somatic Coach · host Marina Triner

In this episode, I share the truth behind my commitment to six months of dating myself, and why this isn’t just about being single, but about radically choosing me.After a lifetime of being in relationships, I’ve never truly had the space to be with myself, listen to my needs, and unlearn the patterns that kept me disconnected from my voice, my desires, and my boundaries. This journey is about making space for grief, pleasure, community, and nervous system healing. It’s about asking myself: What feels most nourishing right now? and actually listening.I open up about growing up in a narcissistic home, the guilt I carried around having needs, and how those dynamics shaped my relationships. If you’ve ever felt like you lose yourself in love, or if being single feels terrifying, this episode is for you. I promise it’s not about perfection—it’s about presence, permission, and finally becoming your own source of safety.❥Join HeartSpace monthly community with a free trial: ⁠⁠https://marinayt.com/community⁠⁠❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: ⁠https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go⁠ ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here:⁠ ⁠https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Top Episode Quotes:"Dating myself has become pleasant the moment I decided to radically stand up for myself and my needs.""I’ve never properly been single since I was 14, and I’m 37.
