Description

Let’s be honest… modern dating feels hard. Between viral TikToks saying “having a boyfriend is cringe,” the rise of avoidant attachment, and an entire culture that glorifies hyper-independence. It can start to feel like relationships just aren’t worth it anymore. But what if I told you this collective cynicism isn’t the truth… Is it a trauma response?

In this episode, I’m breaking down what’s really going on beneath the surface of today’s dating world,  why so many women are leaning into avoidance and “high standards” that actually keep love out. And how to shift back into openness, trust, and secure connection.

Inside the Episode:

  • The truth about why avoidant attachment is growing fastest among women and what that means for your love life.
  • How cynicism and “high standards” can secretly be trauma responses that keep you disconnected.
  • The mindset and nervous system rewiring you need to attract emotionally available, securely attached love.

If you’ve been feeling frustrated with dating or losing hope that real love exists, this episode will help you see things differently. You can have the healthy, peaceful, passionate relationship you deserve… and it starts with your healing.
