If you’ve ever settled, ghosted, avoided, or overthought your way through dating- this one’s for you.
In Part 2 of our deep convo with Licensed Therapist Lauren Michelle Jackson, we dive into what dating after 40 really looks like, from unhealed attachment styles to breaking up with the “superwoman” mentality and finally dating with clarity and intention.
In this episode, we unpack:
- The hidden costs of settling in relationships
- Signs you’re dating outside your emotional or financial comfort zone
- Why women with power still struggle with vulnerability
- What it really means to communicate clearly (not passively)
- Anxious vs. Avoidant vs. Secure Attachment – how it plays out in love
- Tools to navigate breakups with grace (and grief)
- The biggest dating mistakes Lauren sees in therapy sessions
- Why ghosting and avoidance are emotional red flags
Lauren gives us the therapist’s POV on modern dating, helping you recognize red flags, reset your standards, and show up authentically. Whether you’re newly single, healing from heartbreak, or dating with hope at 40 and beyond — this episode will meet you where you are.
