Do you ever feel like new relationships accelerate from 0 to 60 before you even put on your seatbelt? One minute you’re in “just talking” territory, the next there’s a toothbrush at their place and they’re booked to meet your family at Christmas. Or does the pacing drag like molasses, plagued by ambiguity, hesitation and walls up high?
What defines healthy pacing when you’re getting to know someone new? How can you even tell in those critical early stages if this thing has the velocity to go the distance or will inevitably run out of fuel...or worse, crash and burn?
In this episode, we’re talking about the speed of new relationships. We’ll map the major milestones, discuss red and green flags for alignment potential, and teach you how to pump the brakes or hit the gas according to your own needs and compatibility. Relationships falter when we silence our authentic voices, so make sure you are using yours. Only you can dictate the right speed limits for your journey. Let’s make sure you end up safely at your desired destination.
