Bonus throw back from 2022 - Choosing Single On Purpose

Send us Fan MailIf you’ve ever felt the pull to start dating again just to stop the ache, this conversation is your pause button. We dig into why jumping into a new relationship too fast can turn into “borrowed anger” and misplaced punishment, where a good person ends up paying for someone else’s damage. We’re honest about what it looks like to admit, out loud, that you are not ready, and why that can be the most respectful choice you make for yourself and for anyone you might date.We also talk about being single by choice and what that really means when you’ve spent most of your life in relationships. There’s a difference between wanting attention and wanting partnership, and we unpack how time alone can help you learn your standards, your triggers, and your real needs. That includes asking the uncomfortable question: what role did I play in the breakup, and what patterns do I keep repeating?From there, things get real about heartbreak as trauma, the fear of being hurt again, and the slow work of emotional healing. We get into co-parenting done right, keeping kids out of adult conflict, and why bitterness can quietly damage a child’s sense of safety. We also challenge the idea that men can’t be vulnerable, and explore how to share pain without letting fear control the future.If any of this hits close to home, listen through, share it with a friend who’s rebuilding, and leave a review. What helps you know you’re truly ready to love again?
