Description

Are you obsessing over getting your ex back, finding "the one," or stopping the pain after a breakup? In this episode, I reveal why our outcome-focused thinking is actually sabotaging our success in love - and what to do instead.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why focusing on outcomes keeps you stuck in breakups and dating
  • The counter-intuitive truth about getting an ex back
  • How to shift from desperate outcome-chasing to empowered process-building
  • Why dating with a "find the one" mentality backfires
  • My personal story: How my husband and I broke up, grew apart, and came back together as different people
  • Practical steps to become process-focused instead of outcome-obsessed

Key Takeaways:

The Breakup Paradox: The way to get your ex back is to become someone who doesn't need them back. When you focus on healing and growth instead of reunion, you either attract them back as a choice (not a need) or you become ready for someone better.

The Dating Trap: When you're so focused on finding "the one," you miss valuable practice in connection, conversation, and authenticity that actually makes you more attractive to the right person.

The Process Promise: Focus on who you're becoming today, and the outcomes you want become inevitable tomorrow.

In This Episode I Share:

  • How my 4-month relationship ended with no intention of reconciliation
  • Why breaking up was the best thing for our eventual marriage
  • The growth that happened when we stopped trying to make it work
  • How we came back together as completely different people
  • Why I couldn't have shown up properly without that time apart

Action Steps:

  1. Identify where you're being too outcome-focused
  2. Define what the actual process looks like for your goals
  3. Set one process goal for this week
  4. Practice celebrating process wins, not just outcomes
  5. Build trust in the journey, even when you can't see the destination

Perfect For You If:

  • You're struggling to get over an ex
  • You keep hoping they'll come back
  • You're frustrated with dating and haven't found "the one"
  • You feel stuck in patterns that aren't working
  • You want to build genuine confidence in relationships
  • You're ready to stop chasing and start becoming
