Ground yourself before you swipe, because clarity and calm are the real GPS for a confident post-divorce dating journey.

In this episode, I’m inviting you to slow down and get grounded before diving back into the world of dating. I’ve created a new framework to guide this journey - G for grounding, P for preparing for love, and S for stepping forward - and today, we’re starting with the “G.” Before you can move toward love, you have to know where you are.

I want you to ask yourself: How do I want to show up on a date? What parts of me feel most at ease and authentic? I share some simple ways to help you reconnect with your center - breathwork, movement, journaling, and setting intentions - so you can date with clarity instead of falling into old patterns or fear. When you’re grounded, you spot red flags more easily, you trust yourself more deeply, and you stop giving your power away to what someone else thinks of you.

Grounding isn’t about staying still. It’s about remembering who you are so you can move through your dating journey with steadiness, curiosity, and heart. I’ll leave you with a journal prompt to start that reflection: What helps me feel most grounded and safe in my body, and how can I bring that into my dating life?
