I got a DM this week from someone who said she keeps finding herself in the same situation,

going all in, realizing something was off, then going back to square one.

And she asked me, why do I keep ending up in this dynamic?

And it got me thinking about the core reasons why commitments don't work out. And it's not because your picker is broken or that there's no one good out there. And it's not even necessarily that you're going too fast. And in this episode, we're going to get into the three core mistakes that we're making when choosing who to commit to for our long-term relationships so you can avoid them in the future. And we'll get into what to focus on so you can

But I think one of the biggest misconceptions in dating is that the emotional roller coaster
