I'm your host, relationship coach Stephanie Rigg,

and I'm really glad you're here. Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of On Attachment.

In today's episode, I'm answering a listener question of how do I navigate being newly single

in my mid 30s?

I feel like I'm running out of time.

This is a question that I'm sure so many of you will resonate with.

Maybe not being in your mid 30s,

although I think there's a big chunk of you that might fall into that demographic.

But it's this sense of, you know,

my life hasn't played out in the way

that I envisaged. And I feel like all of a sudden I'm scrambling and I am running out of time

and we can really feel an overwhelming sense of scarcity. It can really rob us of the joy and the ability

to be present in our lives as they are today

and can lead us to feel really hopeless and deflated about what our future might hold.

So I'm going to be sharing some thoughts on this, you're navigating being newly single,

how you might approach dating from a mindset point of view and how to really honor the desires

that you have without feeling hopeless or overwhelmed or demoralized by where you find yourself.

So that's what I'm going to be talking about today.

Before I dive into that, I just want to share the featured review.
