In this heartfelt finale of the Dating For Dummies series, I’m pulling back the curtain on some of the most powerful love lessons I’ve learned—all of which are featured in my book, Daddy Issues: Love Lessons in Healing from Toxic Relationships. These aren’t just theories or clichés—they’re lived experiences, born from moments of pain, reflection, and growth.
From learning to not confuse sex with intimacy, to the hard truth that you should not date damaged, I’m sharing personal stories in the hope that you can sidestep the heartaches I endured. If you’ve ever found yourself dating potential, rescuing broken hearts, or losing yourself trying to be "the one," this episode is especially for you.
Let my healing be your lesson. Tune in and take notes—because real love starts with real awareness.
