19. Slow Down, Sister: Unspoken Expectations in Early Dating

In this episode, I explore:

• 💗 How dating used to be more natural and organic—especially in cultures with love marriages vs. arranged ones
• 📱 The role of dating apps and how they mimic being set up by a mutual friend (but with way more pressure)
• 🎯 The modern pressure on first dates to feel like job interviews instead of a relaxed connection
• 🧠 How we stay in our heads trying to assess someone instead of dropping into our bodies and hearts
• 🚫 10 unrealistic expectations we often carry in early dating—and why they aren’t rooted in reality
• 🌸 How to date with more feminine energy, presence, and emotional self-responsibility

Perfect for you if:
You're navigating the early stages of dating, want to release pressure and anxiety, and attract love from a grounded, empowered place.
