In this episode of The New Age Sage, I sit down with Julia Mazur, host of the Pretty Much Done podcast, to explore the world of modern dating, especially the unique challenges and empowerment that come with being single in your 30s. Julia opens up about her journey of leaving behind "good on paper" relationships and the pressures she faced to settle down, only to realize that self-love and fulfillment come from within, not from societal expectations. We discuss the importance of building a strong relationship with yourself first, before finding a partner who aligns with your life values and vision.

If you're navigating the dating scene in your 30s or seeking to better understand what true partnership looks like, this episode offers inspiration and practical wisdom to guide you on your journey.
