Dr. Alexandra sits down with Case Kenny – creator, mindfulness expert, host of the podcast New Mindset, Who Dis? and author of That’s Bold of You and The Opposite of Settling: How to Get Everything You Want Out of Love and Life Without Losing Your Spark – to discuss how societal “shoulds” around dating and relationships can create rigid expectations and fear-based decisions. Instead, they invite us to lean into curiosity, optimism, and self-awareness to get what we want out of love and dating.

Together, they dive into:

• Why the concept of “settling down” needs an upgrade—and what it means to “settle up” instead
  
• How understanding your “why” of dating shifts your whole approach
  
• Using the peak-end rule to reframe past dating experiences
  
• How showing up enthusiastically and with trust as the default right from the start can amplify your dating and relationship experiences

And so much more!
