222. Fight For the Relationship You Want

  • Summary

  • Let's talk about a pattern I see in many divorced women - the reluctance to fight for the relationship they want. Through the lens of "learned helplessness," I explore why capable, strong women who fought for their first marriages often hold back in their post-divorce dating journey.

    Key Insights:

    • The difference between fighting for a specific person versus fighting for your desired relationship outcome
    • How past relationship trauma creates false beliefs about our dating options
    • Why validating dating struggles with friends can keep you stuck
    • The truth about effort: dating takes more work than we expect (just like everything worthwhile)

    Ask yourself: "Why am I not fighting for this relationship goal with the same determination I bring to other areas of my life?" Your answer reveals where to focus your energy.

    Book Reference: "Learned Optimism" by Martin Seligman - A foundational text for understanding how we can break free from learned helplessness patterns
