In a world that constantly tells single women-especially single moms, that they need to be in a relationship to feel whole, what happens when you hit the pause button on dating? In the heartfelt episode, we explore The Pause, the conscious decision to step away from the dating scene to rediscover yourself, reclaim your peace, and reframe your priorities.
Zash shares personal reflections and stories of women who have chosen this path, not out of fear or failure, but from a place of strength and clarity. We dive into what it means to heal, how solitude can be sacred, and why choosing yourself first is not selfish, it's powerful.
Whether you're taking a break from dating or considering it, this episode offers encouragement, insight, and a gentle reminder: sometimes the best relationship you'll ever have is the one you build with yourself.
