81. Unpacking what it means to be YOU
This week I am getting a bit personal on the show. I talk about a vulnerable experience I recently went through, how it made me aware of the stories I’ve been telling myself when it comes to wanting people to like me, and what I learned about myself. And of course, I talk about how my lesson can be applied to your dating life. SHOW NOTES: https://www.datebrazen.com/blog/unpacking-what-it-means-to-be-you

80. Reclaiming your sexual agency with Dr. Juliana Hauser
Sexuality is at the core of who we are, our identity, and our power. Sometimes due to the stress of dating, people-pleasing, or losing sight of yourself after past relationship trauma; you shut the door to your own sexual identity. Joining me this week to talk about how to reclaim your sexual agency and transition from self-judgment to self-compassion is Dr. Juliana Hauser.

79. The impact of trauma on your dating life (and how to get the support you need) with Julia Hochstadt, LCSW
I am talking with Julia Hochstadt, LCSW, about how trauma can show up in your dating life and what you can to do get support. Many of the people I work with also get support from trauma therapists. Trauma deeply affects dating, their love lives and impacts their healing process. Because I am not an expert on the topic, I invited Julia to share information and resources around abuse, trauma, and dating. Trigger warning: In this episode, we talk about the themes of abuse and trauma. If that's something you know wouldn't serve you in your journey today, then please skip this episode.

78. Rest and refocus: why it's okay to take a break from dating
I want to dive into a lesson I am actively learning in my life, which is to do nothing. I’ve been thinking about how my clients and listeners of Date Brazen can apply this lesson to their dating lives too. So yes, this week, I am inviting you to: Do nothing. Doing nothing is a key part of the intentional effort you are making. Intentional effort leads to intentional results. BUT, intentional action doesn’t always mean BEING ACTIVE or constantly DOING. No, it can also mean laying down, deleting the dating app for a week (Yes!), and most importantly, being intentional about rest.

77. How to declare your boundaries and affirm your worthiness
This week I am talking about boundaries. Boundaries are one of the most important tools (besides self-compassion) that you have, in your dating arsenal. In this episode, I share a boundary starter pack of sorts and explain why it may be hard for you to declare your boundaries and offer a strategy that will help you get started. When you declare your boundaries, you also affirm your worthiness. And as you know I often say, you are worthy of what you desire.

71. Embracing Your Enoughness with Dina Scippa
This week, we are exploring what it means to embrace your enoughness. To help me dig into this topic is the fabulous, Dina Scippa. Dina is the Founder and CEO of Enough Labs, and host of the Embracing Enough podcast. She helps her clients with letting go of expectations, finding their inner voice, and embracing their confidence. We also uncover what it means to belong to ourselves, rather than yearning to be in a relationship so someone can prove we belong. Your enoughness is tied to your existence in the world - not to what you have obtained, have done, or have yet to do. You are enough. SHOW NOTES: https://bit.ly/3fnFRkO
