Last week we went there. I shared the beauty and the pain of dating someone so close to being 'it' it hurts, only to have it come crashing down. 

I went deep into the highs of infatuation, connection, and wild chemistry, and the deep lows of dating an emotionally unavailable, avoidant attached partner. 

If you missed it, I strongly recommend clicking here to get the back story, a crash course in attachment theory, and the first 5 lessons I took away from this dating experience before jumping...

We are jumping right back into our conversation from last week's Valentine's Day episode where I'm sharing my most hard-earned lessons from 3.5 years of singlehood and over 200 dates! If you didn't catch the first episode, click here to take a listen!

Summary

It's Valentine's week and I decided to spice things up for today's episode of the Life Unleashed Show.

I had the pleasure of interviewing coach Amanda Tull who specializes in helping women have clear, confident, and courageous conversations about sex so we can live in a healthier environment with thriving relationships.
