Dating After Divorce

224. Dating, Shame and Self-Compassion

Sade Curry

In this episode, I dive deep into a breakthrough moment from our recent Dating After Divorce Collective coaching call. Here's what we unpack:

Key Insights:

  • Why shame triggers show up in your dating journey and how societal narratives impact your dating confidence
  • The real reason dating feels hard (hint: it's not because "all the good ones are taken")
  • How fear of wasting time leads to either dismissing potential partners too quickly or staying too long with the wrong ones
  • Why perfectionism and the need to "get it right" keeps you stuck

Personal Growth Takeaways:

  • Recognize that everyone is "winging it" - even those who seem to have it all figured out
  • Transform your relationship with making mistakes in dating
  • Build unshakeable self-compassion as your foundation for dating success

Practical Dating Tips:

  • Release the pressure to make perfect decisions
  • Give yourself permission to be in the learning process
  • Own your dating choices without defaulting to blaming others
