#103 - How to Know If You’re SETTLING: The Silent Epidemic Among Women

Are you calling it love… but deep down, you know you’re settling?

In this episode of The New Age Sage, I break down the unconscious fears, wounds, and conditioning that keep powerful women stuck in relationships that drain their light. From the terror of being alone to the belief that “he’s good enough,” these hidden patterns convince you to stay — even when your soul knows it’s time to go.

Whether you’re in a long-term relationship, a situationship, or just questioning your standards… this episode will help you get radically honest with yourself, recognize the truth of your dynamic, and finally choose a love that matches your power.
