How to Experience More Love (No Matter Your Relationship Status)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Raise your hand if you want to feel more love in your life.
In this episode of the Climb Your Mountain Podcast, life coach Sarah Maurer explores a belief many of us carry: that love comes from other people. If you’re single and worried you’re missing out… if you’re in a relationship but don’t feel fully loved… or if you secretly believe you’re just “not lovable enough,” this conversation is for you.
We unpack the hidden “love manuals” we create — the unspoken rules about how someone must behave for us to feel loved (they must say “I love you,” remember birthdays, help around the house, respond sexually, get us completely). When those rules aren’t followed, we feel rejected, unseen, or alone.
But here’s the shift: other people don’t create your feelings. They don’t beam love into you. The emotion of love is created by your thoughts, your beliefs, and the stories you tell yourself.
This episode dives into:
- Why trying to control others to feel loved never works
- How people-pleasing and relationship anxiety are rooted in fear of being unloved
- Why “they hurt my feelings” misses the deeper truth
- The powerful reframe: all love is self love
Sarah shares practical life coaching tools to help you build real self love and self compassion, including:
- Noticing harsh self-talk
- Challenging the story that you’re “lazy,” “too much,” or “not enough”
- Learning to validate yourself
- Celebrating small wins and personal growth
When you become your own source of love, everything changes. You can enjoy being single. You can speak honestly in relationships. You can stop trying to control your partner’s behavior. You can feel steady and connected — even in lonely seasons.
If you’re ready to feel more loving, lovable, and secure from the inside out, this episode is your starting point.
Enjoy ❤️
