Dating in your main character energy means more access to everything you want. More connection. More aliveness. More of the good stuff.

It also means more rejection. BOO.

Rejection doesn't have to mean anything about you. It's a filter, getting the wrong people out of the way. And the fear of it is one of the top forces stopping people from going after what they want.

This episode is your rejection resilience guide. So you become unstoppable in your dating life.

Inside episode 267:

✨ Why we fear rejection like death (literally, biologically)

✨ The SOFT protocol: move through rejection without making it mean something about you

✨ Fierce vs. tender self-compassion and when you need each one

✨ How to build reframes that actually feel true, not like toxic positivity

Cora left an unhealthy marriage, deconstructed her entire evangelical upbringing, bought her first house, and raised two 16-year-olds solo.

Then she met someone really good on Hinge. Who met all of her essence-based preferences.

And she almost talked herself out of it.

Not because he did anything wrong. Because she felt ashamed for wanting partnership after working so hard to become independent.

In this live coaching session on The Feminist Dating Show, I coach Cora through the spiral in real time. We build her an "if this, then that" plan for the anxiety. We upgrade the questions she's asking herself. And we talk about why "desire is your birthright" (in the words of Dr. Juliana Hauser), not something you have to earn after you've suffered enough.

If you have ever felt like wanting love was a betrayal of your hard-won independence, episode 266 is for you.

If you have a great life and dating just doesn't feel like part of it — this one's for you.

In episode 265, I'm coaching Christina live. She's 36, has a great life, one long-term relationship under her belt, and is asking the question a lot of you are quietly asking: is it even worth it to try dating after so much disappointment?

She's frustrated by the single tax — the emotional and financial cost of being the only single person in her circle, coordinating everything alone while everyone else has a built-in teammate.

She wants a partner more than she lets herself admit.

And she's bi, but feels like an adolescent there compared to her experience dating men — and keeps wondering if it's even worth exploring.

In this episode, we dive into ALL of this, and come up with a concrete plan to make dating a part of her amazing life-- with permission, boundaries, and a plan to attract more.
