Self-Trust, Standards, and Not Settling for Mediocre Love | EP.101
from Single (not spiraling) · host Lauren Samantha
In this episode of Single, Not Spiraling, we’re talking about self-trust, standards, and what it actually means to stop settling for mediocre love. Decentering men isn’t about rejecting partnership — it’s about building enough internal safety that you’re no longer making decisions from anxiety, desperation, or fear of being alone. Self-trust is confidence, intuition, and believing your own thoughts, needs, and wants without immediately outsourcing them. It’s the steady feeling that even if a decision changes your life, you’ll be okay. We unpack how self-trust sharpens discernment in dating, how anxiety gets confused with intuition, and why raising your standards has less to do with attracting a man and more to do with not abandoning yourself. If you’re learning how to trust yourself, hold your standards, and choose partnership from alignment instead of panic, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram Please email me here: [email protected] for coaching HEREWould You Date You?
