Welcome to the raw truth about why I stopped dating completely and what it taught me about love.
Introducing... The Shame That Led Me to Stop Dating: A Story of Validation Addiction – because sometimes the most loving thing you can do is stop searching for love.
Why this story? Because through one profound relationship, I discovered I'd been using every date, every flirtation, every romantic interaction to validate my worth, and the shame that followed changed everything.
In this deeply personal episode, you'll discover:
- How I went from constant relationships (18 year young-31 years young) to understanding solitude
- The relationship that showed me what real love looks like
- Why vulnerability is magnetic and authenticity creates deeper attraction
- The moment I realized I was collecting validation
- What led me to choose celibacy over the validation addiction
MINI RULES REVEALED:
- Your past relationship patterns are data, not destiny
- Real attraction grows with authenticity
- External validation can't fill internal voids
- Your alone time determines relationship quality
- Sometimes love means choosing what serves the relationship
- Celibacy isn't missing out – it's not settling
- Your worth exists independently of recognition
THE TRANSFORMATION: From seeking completion through others to finding wholeness within myself.
Here for you, Lauren Jean
