Dating After Divorce Episode 215: When Are You Ready to Date?

In this Sade Curry delves into the concept of "readiness" for dating after a divorce. She explores the often undefined notion of being "ready" to date and its potential consequences on one's dating journey. Sade discusses the subtle yet powerful belief that many women hold—that they are not ready to date—and how this mindset can keep them stuck.

Episode Highlights:

• Challenging Gender Roles: Discover how societal expectations and internal biases can influence women's perceptions of their readiness to date and how to challenge these narratives.
• Defining Readiness: Sade Curry explains the importance of defining what "ready to date" means for each individual, rather than relying on a vague or universal concept.
• Personal Readiness: Explore factors like finances, schedules, and children in determining your personal readiness for dating after a divorce.
• Empowered vs. Fake Readiness: Understand the difference between empowered readiness, which involves taking responsibility and working towards growth, and fake readiness, which is marked by self-pity and blame.
• Self-Leadership: Sade emphasizes the importance of self-leadership in rebuilding your life and dating journey, highlighting that there is no one-size-fits-all formula
• Empowered Decision-Making: Sade encourages listeners to define their own readiness and make empowered decisions about dating, rather than seeking validation from others.

Key Takeaways:

1. Define Your Own Readiness: Take the time to understand what being ready to date means for you personally, considering all aspects of your life.
2. Challenge Negative Self-Talk: Identify and overcome the mental barriers that may be holding you back from feeling ready to date.
3. Embrace Self-Leadership: Lead your own journey in dating and life, recognizing that there is no universal formula for readiness.
4. Develop Self-Approval: Focus on self-approval and personal growth rather than seeking validation from others.

Do you find yourself focusing way too much on other people when dating?
In this episode, Sade Curry emphasizes the importance of prioritizing self-discovery in the dating process, as women who have not healed from codependency and people pleasing may struggle with centering their desires and actions on their own wants and needs. Sade offers strategies for retraining intuition, reconnecting with core values, and saying no in a way that resonates with oneself.

She also discusses how societal expectations and conditioning can limit women's autonomy and self-expression, leading to a lack of alignment with their own values and aspirations.

By examining these dynamics, Sade teaches women to break free from these constraints and make decisions that truly align with their own values and aspirations.

Healing from infidelity can be a difficult journey. When you have experienced a betrayal, it can rock your whole world and require deep recovery and healing.

My guest this week has gone through that healing journey.

Gia Huff was blindsided by her ex-husband’s affair and created a beautiful life for herself after divorce - one that includes a new loving partner.

Tune in this week to hear Gia’s inspiring story of deep healing and growth that helped her meet her partner in only a few days on the dating apps.

As Gia says, “The only reason I wouldn’t date would be because my mind is afraid. I very much wanted a partner and connection. So I thought, “What if it could be really easy to find someone online? What if it's not as hard or scary as everyone says?”

Gia shares how she used a sustained practice of self-reflection and practical steps to open up her world, get unstuck and find the love she wanted.
