Episode notes

In this episode, I dive into the dangers of falling for someone's potential instead of accepting who they are in the present. We talk about why it's so easy to hold on to hope, the signs you're investing in a future that may never happen, and how to make healthier dating decisions by focusing on actions over promises. If you've ever struggled to let go because you believed someone would change, this episode is for you.
