Millennial Dating Coach: Stop Swiping and Start Finding Love

Sherry and Carla kick off the week discussing their thoughts on if candles are a generational thing and take a Love Fix question on how to know what it is you really need when you’re focused so much on your partner. Then, they welcome Certified Counselor Marquita Johnson, who has over 10 years of practice and a large set of tools to use to help her clients heal and realize their potential. She talks about what millennials are doing wrong in love, how we can use technology to our advantage, and why we need to be accountable for what baggage WE bring into the relationship.   What You’ll Hear In This Episode:   Millennials don’t want the relationships their parents had, so what is it that they really want? What are some telltale signs that it is time to say goodbye in a relationship? Stop trying to convince someone that you are worthy! We have the responsibility of working on our own baggage and wounds, so it isn’t an endless cycle of both people getting triggered by one another. You define love on YOUR terms, not by society’s or even by the people around you. Want a fun way to explore your relationship? Check out Marquita’s relationship conversation cards,  along with ways to work with Sherry and Carla on overcoming codependency, dating, healing from toxic relationships and gaining confidence. What we can learn from J-Lo and her love life! Someone can add to your life, but it’s important to take responsibility for your own happiness and security.   Tweetables: If someone is having a need or a fear, it’s not about you. - Sherry Expectations are resentments waiting to happen. - Carla We can not change someone’s mind or convince someone that you are worthy. - Marquita If someone can’t see your worth it doesn’t mean you aren’t worthy, it means the person just can’t see it. - Marquita Even if you are not codependent, you are taught to fall in love with fantasy. - Carla I can’t make someone responsible for unpacking my bags that I came into the relationship with. - Marquita   Connect with Us!   The Love Fix | @thelovefixpodcast Wake up Recovery for Codependency, Love Addiction, and Toxic Relationships — $1 trial membership The Love Fix Relationship Quiz     Sign up for a Connection call with Sherry https://sherrygaba.com/coaching/life-coaching/    Find Out More:    Sherry Website | Instagram | Facebook | Love Smacked | Wake Up Recovery for Codependents and Toxic Relationships     Carla Website | Instagram | Facebook | Contagious Love | Online Dating Bootcamp    Marquita Johnson  Website | Being The One | Instagram   Today’s episode is sponsored by Carla’s book Contagious Love: Break Free from Codependency for Damn Good and Sherry’s book Love Smacked: How To Stop the Cycle of Relationship Addiction and Codependency To Find Everlasting Love.  Thanks to Contagious Love and Love Smacked for sponsoring this episode.
