Too many people desperately search the cesspool of online dating apps to find “the one”. ☝🏻 But are they giving any thought to becoming the kind of person that would attract the right partner into their lives? Many people now have a long list of non-negotiables for what they want in a partner. ✍🏻 Don’t get me wrong, I definitely support writing out a list of what you want in a partner. It’s important to get clear on their values,…
Over the last couple of years, the content I’ve been putting out has focused much more on educating people about unhealthy, toxic and abusive relationships (whatever label you decide to put on it).
