Fix Your Life First: Dating During Survival Mode

In this episode of Lanterns in the Dark, Angelo Hopson challenges the idea that being single means being ready — especially in a culture where women are often encouraged to seek stability through relationships during difficult seasons. He explores how dating in survival mode — emotionally, financially, or mentally — can lead to attachment rooted in necessity rather than alignment. This conversation calls for healing, self-sufficiency, and intentional timing. Readiness isn’t about relationship status — it’s about wholeness.
