How to spot (and stop) a love bomber
Love bombing might feel like romance, but when someone comes on strong from the start—showering you with compliments, constant texts, and talk of the future—it’s often a red flag, not a fairy tale. In this post, I’ll show you how to recognize the signs and stop mistaking flattery for real connection. Bottom line: If someone you just met is piling on affection, that is your first sign you’ve got a love bomber coming in hot.
Do first dates make you nervous? My trick to not make it weird.
Do you get nervous before a first date? You are not alone. So many women were taught that having a man who likes you is the ultimate goal—which makes every date feel like a high-stakes performance. But here's the truth: men are just people, and a first date is just a conversation. Learn how to lower the pressure, stop performing, and start showing with confidence and not weird vibes energy.
Are you dating in integrity with your values?
Have you ever been in a dating situation that felt off but you couldn’t quite name why?
That was me recently. And the answer, I realized, was this: I was out of integrity with myself.
Not wrong. Just misaligned.
Dating with integrity isn’t just about being honest—it’s about being whole. In this post, I’m sharing how to recognize when your dating choices are out of alignment with your values, and how to course-correct when something feels off.
How to know if you can trust someone
Think trust is something someone “earns” or “gives” you? Think again. In this post, I’ll show you why trust isn’t a feeling you get—it’s a decision you make based on the evidence in front of you.
Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt in dating
Women are often taught to give people the benefit of the doubt, especially in dating—but that mindset can cost you time, energy, and emotional peace.

Pay attention to how they show up and trust yourself to walk away if things aren’t moving in the direction you want. Read on for more!
Why you shouldn’t spend hours on the phone before meeting
Spending hours on the phone before meeting someone might feel like a great way to build a connection—but in reality, you’re just creating an illusion of intimacy. You don’t know this person yet, and long conversations can lead to filling in the gaps with who you want them to be. Here’s what to do instead.
Are you seeing who they are or who you want them to be?
When dating, it’s easy to fill in the gaps with who you want someone to be instead of seeing them for who they actually are. You ask a few questions, hear what you like, and suddenly your mind starts building a whole story about them. But here’s the truth: you can’t know who someone truly is until they show you. Here’s what to do instead.
The only insurance against bad dates is you
Dating can feel like a gamble, and it’s tempting to look for ways to guarantee a good outcome. But here’s the truth—there’s no insurance for dating. No amount of checklists, social media polls, or background details will predict whether someone is a great match. Some things you just can’t know until you know them. The real key? Trusting yourself to recognize what works, what doesn’t, and adjusting as you go.
