Episode 91 - The Myths of Attraction with Laerke Nielsen
In this podcast episode, fast-brained dating coach Laerke Nielsen and I delve into the myths around attraction and offer practical relationship strategies.
Laerke challenges the notion of instant attraction, and advocates instead for ‘slow dating’.
We look at the dangers of projecting our desires and expectations onto others and touch upon crucial topics like:
recognizing red flags in relationships,
dealing with ghosting,
how much you should demand of a potential partner,
the importance of clear and open communication.
Laerke’s main message to those of you who date is to approach it with an open mindset, let go of negative beliefs, and embrace the process with a sense of enjoyment.
After listening to this Episode you will have plenty of insight into why dating may not have worked for you yet - and you’ll have plenty of tools to navigate the world of fast-brained dating and relationships.
And even if you’re not currently looking for a romantic partner, I highly encourage you to listen in because so many of this applies to ALL our relationships - both personal and at work.
