Thank you so much for this talk. It resonated a lot when you spoke about making the relationship all about the other person and not showing up as yourself. I am 35 years old, have no children, and I'm currently dating myself and taking a seat back when I do go on a date, I am in no rush knowing I love where I am at as I am right now and focused on my work, letting things unfold as they come because I know good always come around sooner or later. Thank you again for your time 💓
To me that is the ideal attitude for dating and just life in general! If I could go back and tell my younger self anything it would be worry less/trust more. So happy this talk resonated, sending you lots of love 💗
Ally, all that about re-enacting the trauma of a parent-child drama in one’s own relationships hits so close to home for me. (Mother and son instead of father and daughter.) It took decades for me to realize that I was still trying to save my mother through all these interactions that would never work out. That pattern is not so easy to recognize from within. Much less to excise! Still working through it…thank you!
It took me a lot of time to understand that’s what I was doing, and it’s such a painful cycle to repeat. I’m glad this was helpful and it’s definitely a topic I enjoy digging into so I know I’ll be talking about it more. Thanks for listening and for your thoughtful comment!

You are so easy to listen to. And so relatable. Ty
Thank you so much. That means the world to me.
