Have you ever wondered what might happen if you pressed pause on dating after divorce? I know it can feel counterintuitive when everyone else is swiping, but I’ve seen firsthand how powerful the benefits of stepping back can be.

In this episode, I share why taking a conscious break from dating gives you the space to heal, reset, and rediscover yourself. What new passions might you uncover if you stopped scrolling and tried something different? How might your confidence grow if you gave yourself the time to reflect on what you truly want? During one of my own dating detox periods, I took a simple vocal lesson that turned into years of joy performing in a band, something I never would have discovered if I had stayed caught up in the dating cycle.

A dating detox is more than just a pause. It’s an opportunity to find clarity, rebuild confidence, and strengthen the most important relationship you’ll ever have - the one with yourself!
