Life is busy and relationships take time to build…AND relationships nourish you and add value to your life.It can be both.The challenge of “I don’t have time to date right now” may be revealing something deeper...The avoidance of the possibility of rejection or heartbreak.The lack of trust in men.The lack of trust in yourself to attract a great man.The truth is, finding someone to do life with actually opens up time in your life.You don’t have to do everything on your own and by yourself.You can be a strong, independent woman AND have an amazing relationship.Ask yourself this…”Is a healthy, committed relationship actually a desire of mine?”If the answer is YES, then it’s time to look at the excuse “I just don’t have time to date”.Support the Show.Let's connect on Instagram – send me a message @meleah_manning Get Meleah's Free Masterclass on How to Overcome Relationship Anxiety and Experience an Emotionally Connected Relationship.Join the Waitlist for Radiant Relationship Academy — a mentorship to overcome your patterns in dating & relationships and experience a healthy, fulfilling love.Apply for private 1:1 coaching with Meleah.

Society often associates successful women with traits like ambition, assertiveness, and independence — which can sometimes be perceived as intimidating or threatening by potential partners.While these masculine traits serve them well in their careers, they are not as effective in the realm of love. What happens is these women usually become more comfortable in their masculine energy and feeling uncomfortable in their feminine — leading to repelling strong, masculine men and attracting passive, indecisive men.Striking a balance between success and vulnerability becomes crucial in establishing fulfilling romantic connections.Connect with Meleah on Instagram: @meleah_manningGet Meleah's Free Masterclass on How to Overcome Relationship Anxiety and Experience an Emotionally Connected Relationship.Join the waitlist for Radiant Relationship Academy Spring 2024 Cohort — a mentorship to overcome your patterns in dating & relationships and experience a healthy, fulfilling love.Apply for private 1:1 coaching with Meleah. Support the Show.Let's connect on Instagram – send me a message @meleah_manning Get Meleah's Free Masterclass on How to Overcome Relationship Anxiety and Experience an Emotionally Connected Relationship.Join the Waitlist for Radiant Relationship Academy — a mentorship to overcome your patterns in dating & relationships and experience a healthy, fulfilling love.Apply for private 1:1 coaching with Meleah.
