The External Validation Trap: Why Your Need To Be "Chosen" is Ruining Your Love Life

Are you making a relationship your ultimate life goal just so a man can finally validate your existence? Eli is here to violently dismantle that mindset. Stepping away from the usual dating mechanics, Eli unpacks the heavy, terrifying reality of finding your actual life purpose. He shares his own journey of moving to Chicago, slowing down, and mourning the fact that he missed out on long-term love in his 20s because he was too busy chasing the dopamine high of industry success. This episode is the ultimate wake-up call to stop outsourcing your self-esteem, stop dating your fear of being alone, and realize you are already enough.   Join My Coaching Membership Below?
