New Year, New Love—How to Fall for Someone GOOD for You! Ep. 335

A new year brings a fresh start—a chance to make changes and set goals!

We wanted to kick off 2025 by talking about the importance of reflection in the midst of making resolutions and intentions for the new year. 

To do so, we’re answering a listener’s question.

Question:  So, I make horrible choices in men apparently, and I have finally met somebody that I feel like is a good person—a perfect person for me. And, I’m absolutely terrified of him because he’s so nice and he’s so genuine, and he’s such a good person. How do I retrain my brain to not be scared of someone who is going to be good to me instead of settling for people who I know are just not good people?

Elliott and I answer her question by discussing how we can change dynamics that aren’t working for us. We share strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment Theory, along with how to see ourselves as God sees us. We also consider a tool I recently heard in an interview with Brené Brown—“What story am I telling myself?”
