Hi everybody, welcome to the Women's Dating and Confidence podcast. My name is Amber, and today we're going to be talking about the void when things don't work out.

Before we get into that, I want to share with you my free guide called copy and paste texts for when he's pulling away or acting flaky.

The link for that is going to be in the show notes of this episode below. Also, if you haven't already, make sure that you get on the

wait list for the next coaching program. My coaching program is called From Dating to Exclusive,

and that's exactly what I help you do. I help you stop casual dating so you can

find somebody to build a meaningful relationship with. When you get on the wait list, you're able to

enroll early. So before I open up enrollment for the general public and you get a discount for

your enrollment. So if you want to secure your discount and your early

bird enrollment so you can get a spot this round, make sure that you check out the

link below. Okay, so I want to talk to you about the void, which is really just a

feeling and an emotion, which is the same thing. I don't know why I said both of those things.

It's a feeling. So when you are dating and things along the way don't work out, there can be a void.

So it's that pause between the last thing that that didn't work out

and the next thing that you're excited about. And you kind of come off of this high of maybe being

excited about somebody, even if it was like, oh, this person looks really cute online and I'm excited to meet

them and then it didn't work out. And then you don't necessarily have like a next thing lined up.

Or maybe you do, but it's still like a little ways out. You just have this in-between moment of a

feeling of darkness and a feeling of emptiness and it just kind of feels a little bit

discouraging and it feels cold and it feels just like this void.

So in addition to the void, just not feeling good, another thing that happens is that we start to make interpretations about that void feeling.

So we start to think something has gone wrong and we're not doing it right and we're not on track

and we start to maybe have more negative thoughts about ourselves and about dating.
