Dating Intentionally

I'm chatting with Rikki Cloos, the creator and author of Anxious Hearts Guide, one of the most grounded, accessible resources out there for healing insecure attachment. We're discussing communication mistakes most of us make without realizing it, why the words we say rarely match what we actually mean, and how that gap affects relationships. Rikki also shares her framework for improving communication and the seven relationship agreements she has with her husband. At the end, we tackle a dating dilemma from a listener who's been in couples therapy for months but is somehow feeling more distant from her partner.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEEpisode 48 - all about getting your needs met as an anxiously attached personTHANKS TO OUR PARTNERSFactor: Get 50 percent off and free breakfast for a year! factormeals.com/di50offBoll & Branch: Get 15% off the softest bedding at bollandbranch.com/datingWayfair: Get organized, refreshed, and back on track this new year for WAY less. wayfair.comCONNECT WITH ME:⁠Ask a question for me to answer on the pod⁠⁠Slide into my DMs on IG @dating.intentionallyMORE FREE ADVICE & CONTENT⁠Get more dating advice from me on YouTube⁠SUPPORT THE POD⁠Rate on AppleSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, I'm breaking down five practical ways to show interest in early dating, even if you're shy, introverted, or just plain terrified. I'm covering what works, no matter how comfortable you are with dating, and why most people hold back too much. Plus, I share some truly cringe-worthy things my listeners (and I) have done to show interest, and at the end, I tackle a dating dilemma about whether you should give someone feedback after you've already moved on.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEEp 244 - Building Inner Safety & SecurityTHANKS TO OUR PARTNERSFactor: Get 50 percent off and free breakfast for a year! factormeals.com/di50offBoll & Branch: Get 15% off the softest bedding at bollandbranch.com/datingWayfair: Get organized, refreshed, and back on track this new year for WAY less. wayfair.comCONNECT WITH ME:⁠Ask a question for me to answer on the pod⁠⁠Slide into my DMs on IG @dating.intentionallyMORE FREE ADVICE & CONTENT⁠Get more dating advice from me on YouTube⁠SUPPORT THE POD⁠Rate on AppleSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
