Life Happens: The Dating Mindset Shift You Didn’t Know You Needed

Life happens, and when it does, how you respond can change everything. In this episode, Dr. Rachel returns to talk about her new book When Life Happens, and why small, intentional shifts, not major life overhauls, are often what create the biggest change. We talk about dating burnout, confidence, body image, reacting vs. responding to stress, and why connections don’t always spark instantly. Dr. Rachel also shares the unexpected story of how she met her husband, and why a “boring” first date can still turn into something meaningful.
