Hi everybody. Welcome to the Women's Dating and Confidence podcast. My name is Amber, and today I want to talk to you about what's normal in dating.

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.

And if you haven't already, you can schedule a free 15-minute laser coaching session.

And you can ask me any question around dating or confidence.

And the link for that is going to be in the bio of my Instagram page.

Lastly, if you really want to learn dating dynamics and principles to always guide you in every

single dating situation, then check out the link in the show notes to schedule a consult and

learn more about my courageous dating coaching group. The coaching group not only includes weekly

group calls, but also one-on-one coaching and unlimited support between the group and one-on-one

sessions.

So if you want to learn more about that, there's going to be a link in the show notes.

So I wanted to talk about this idea of normal because it comes up a lot in many different ways

for all of my clients.

And it kind of doesn't matter what their actual life circumstances are, but I always hear my clients comparing themselves to other people,

society's expectations, their friends, their community. And underlying all of that is some belief that we should be

somewhere other than where we are and we should have results other than the ones that we have.

So what this sounds like is all of my friends are married or engaged or living with their partners

or people around me are starting to have kids. all of my friends are married or engaged or living with their partners or

people around me are starting to have kids or why haven't I found my person by now

or why do I feel so anxious other people seem so chill or

why are my relationships not lasting as long as I want them to?
