Dr. Alexandra sits down with Case Kenny – creator, mindfulness expert, host of the podcast New Mindset, Who Dis? and author of That’s Bold of You and The Opposite of Settling: How to Get Everything You Want Out of Love and Life Without Losing Your Spark – to discuss how societal “shoulds” around dating and relationships can create rigid expectations and fear-based decisions. Instead, they invite us to lean into curiosity, optimism, and self-awareness to get what we want out of love and dating. Together, they dive into: Why the concept of “settling down” needs an upgrade—and what it means to “settle up” instead   How understanding your “why” of dating shifts your whole approach   Using the peak-end rule to reframe past dating experiences   How showing up enthusiastically and with trust as the default right from the start can amplify your dating and relationship experiences             And so much more! “Your Midyear Refresh” on MasterClass: masterclass.com/yourmidyearrefresh Couple Therapy Certification Course from PESI: pesi.com/dralexandra The Opposite of Settling: How to Get Everything You Want Out of Love and Life Without Losing Your Spark by Case Kenny - https://bookshop.org/p/books/the-opposite-of-settling-how-to-get-everything-you-want-out-of-love-and-life-without-losing-your-spark-case-kenny/2910bd11dd7d34db?ean=9781401995911&next=t&next=t Instagram @case.kenny Learn more about Case Kenny: https://www.casekenny.com/ Order Dr. Alexandra’s book, Love Every Day - https://bookshop.org/p/books/love-every-day-365-relational-self-awareness-practices-to-help-your-relationship-heal-grow-and-thrive-alexandra-solomon/2e7045884bea4a5f?ean=9781683736530&next=t Subscribe to Dr. Alexandra’s Newsletter - https://newsletter.dralexandrasolomon.com/sign-up Submit a Listener Question - https://form.jotform.com/212295995939274 Learn more about the Options Transition to Independence Program which offers education, vocational, independent living, and emotional support for young adults with complex learning needs. https://www.experienceoptions.org/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
