EP#192 Why Dating Isn’t Working for You

In this episode of The Open Bedroom Podcast, I sit down with Veronica Lynn Clark, a transformative coach and spiritual teacher, to explore conscious dating, self-discovery, and intimacy. We discuss how beliefs and past trauma shape our relationship patterns, the importance of self-awareness, and embodying the qualities we seek in a partner. Veronica shares her personal healing journey, the value of vulnerability, and offers practical advice for authentic connection.
