Let's connect directly! I want to know who is listening and get to know you personally! Text me, I'm a REAL person not a robot

As 2025 approaches, let's explore the crucial difference between authentic readiness for love and seasonal loneliness!

Introducing... How to Tell if You're Really Ready for Love in 2025 (Or Just Lonely) – because understanding your mind's patterns changes everything about how you approach relationships.

Why this topic? Because the science of connection reveals that while our brains are wired for partnership, rushing into relationships from loneliness can be as harmful as smoking.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The powerful mind rules affecting your dating decisions
• Why your brain views singleness as an "open loop" needing closure
• The science behind why we crave connection after 40
• Hidden signs of holiday loneliness vs. true readiness
• How to recognize when you're using independence as armor

UNCONSCIOUS SIGNS OF HOLIDAY LONELINESS AFTER 40:

• Internal withdrawal from activities that once brought joy
• Over-focusing on work as an emotional shield
• Maintaining impossibly high standards as protection
• Using past experiences to justify isolation
• The "hidden hopelessness layer" masquerading as maturity

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Starting in January, we're launching a powerful series on unconditional love, beginning with "The Brutal Truth About Love I Learned After Three Decades of Getting it Wrong."

Here for you, Lauren Jean
