In this revealing and supportive episode, host Andrea Atherton sits down with dating coach Lisa Angelini to explore the most common missteps we make when searching for connection and love. Together, they shed light on why so many of us enter relationships without true clarity, whether that’s being unclear about what we want, failing to ask the right questions, or staying simply because someone likes us. They also unpack the emotional consequences of assuming exclusivity without real communication and how this can lead to heartbreak and disillusionment.
Beyond identifying the patterns that keep us stuck, Andrea and Lisa offer grounded, heart-centered solutions to help listeners transform their dating lives. They speak to the power of approaching dating as a process of discovery—asking yourself do I actually like this person? Rather than seeking validation. You’ll hear guidance on how to show up as your authentic self, how to clearly identify red flags and deal breakers (instead of bypassing them with hope or fantasy), and how to ask thoughtful, intentional questions that reveal who someone really is beneath the surface.
Whether you’ve been caught in cycles of people-pleasing, stayed in situations that didn’t feel right, or simply want to elevate the way you date, this episode is a loving reminder that clarity is an act of self-respect. Tune in to Episode 107 to reconnect with your inner compass, refine your dating approach, and remember that you get to choose who gets close to your heart.
