Summary
You Need to Have an “Open Palm”
Listen to this short value-packed episode and you will learn what the heck I am talking about when I say “open palm”
This little metaphor might just be the most powerful dating advice you’ve ever received...
In this episode you will find:
-The perfect metaphor for understanding the securely attached approach to a relationship
-Learn if you are “squeezing the bird”
-How to operate with TRUST and PATIENCE in dating
Make sure you DM me with your takeaways from this episode-I would LOVE to hear from you!
Dating, Self-worth, Communication...if we want GREAT RELATIONSHIPS- we must commit to GROWTH. And that’s why I love this community-you all are committed to growing!
So many of you who reach out to me are committed to taking ownership and improving your dating lives-it’s inspiring!
If you are someone who is ready to level up in love by stopping toxic dating patterns, building awareness of what you’re doing wrong and why, and learning all you need to attract a totally different kind of partner-then shoot me a DM on IG.
The E.S.L Relationship Program will be re-opening soon BUT before I open it officially, I want to make sure that you–my loyal followers–get first dibs on a spot. There are limited spots available, so if you know you are interested, DM me on IG to reserve a totally free breakthrough call to learn more about the program.
P.S. There may even be special bonuses for those of you who act now–the early bird gets the worm right?! (omg continuing with the bird metaphors-YAS!)
