Description

If you've ever opened a dating app and immediately wanted to throw your phone across the room — this one's for you. In episode 263 of the Feminist Dating Show, I'm coaching Kayla live. This episode is for you if you relate to any of this: You open a dating app and immediately spiral into, "What if they make me uncomfortable?" or "what if I say something stupid?" You avoid swiping because judging people by their photos makes you feel like a bad person You watch your friends get matches and wonder what you're doing wrong You feel like a late bloomer, a re-entry dater, or just behind Deep down, you're afraid the real problem is that you're just not lovable... In this episode, I help Kayla name what's underneath her dating avoidance. We name what makes dating apps so dang difficult on our brains/bodies/nervous systems (they are such a flawed tool!). AND we build a simple "if this, then that" plan for dating that soothes her anxiety. In this episode, you'll learn to swipe without abandoning yourself, without judging yourself for your attraction preferences, or without lowering your standards.
