How The Paradox of Choice Affects Relationships

Is having lots of options a good thing? Studies show that for most people, it doesn’t. Having lots of choice in our personal life is even trickier to deal with because it involves our emotions. 

Unlike pre-internet, when people had to choose between a few options in mates who lived near them, the modern dater has a plethora of matches to choose from.  

Not knowing how to handle lots of options can leave us feeling dissatisfied and unfulfilled (even after we commit to one person). 

This week, I provide tips that can help you overcome common psychological obstacles so that you become more confident in your decision making and find happiness with one special person.

[Interview] How to Embrace Your Individuality and Feel More Alive (feat. John Kim)

Whether you're single or in a relationship, it’s important to cultivate a healthy relationship with yourself and live a life that aligns with your values. But our culture seems to downplay this and glorifies coupledom instead.

Today’s featured guest, John Kim, says that being single doesn’t mean that there’s something wrong with you or that you should feel sad and lonely. It’s actually an amazing opportunity for self-discovery and connecting with our passions. 

John Kim, also known as The Angry Therapist, is a licensed marriage family therapist and an author. John’s path has led him to become a pioneer in the field of self help; humanizing the therapist by showing himself. 

In this episode, John offers an empowering perspective on singledom that challenges social stigma and explains how we can make the most of this phase of our life. Regardless of your relationship status, you’ll find value in his advice on how we can reconnect with our spirit and live a fuller, richer and more fulfilling life that honors our needs.

What 2020 Has Taught Us About Humanity

Reflecting on a year that’s gone by is something we typically do this time of year. 

We think about all the things that happened to us: the wins, losses, and lessons. More importantly, we think of the ways we can make the next year better. But this year is different.

Coming to terms with all that’s happened in 2020 is going to be difficult for many. Taking on an empowering perspective can help us view it differently. Thinking back to similar events in history can offer that. We also feel more connected with our humanity.

Over the course of this year, not only did we learn a lot about ourselves, but we witnessed new sides to people in general. This week’s post is all about how we can use the events of this year to become better. We also look at what 2020 has taught us about the human family.

But in a crowded job and online marketplace, finding a niche has become critical. In this week's post, I explain the importance of niches and share four steps you can take to find a niche you could thrive in.
