Dating After 50: Rising from Survival Mode!

The SECOND HALF LAB: Where Your 2.0 is sparked & Alive!

In this episode of Bro Convo, we dive into the world of dating after 50, especially after moving beyond survival mode. Many of us question if we are "enough" and feel scrutinized by others. We explore the deeper issues behind these doubts and how to overcome them.

We'll discuss common dating patterns, from codependency and choosing unavailable partners to avoiding dating altogether, and how these habits stem from fears of intimacy and trust issues. We'll talk about the stages of survival mode—anxiety [fight or flight] and rest—and how to move to truly thriving in your dating life.

Rebuilding trust and intimacy starts with prioritizing yourself and meeting your own needs. Self-love and self-validation are key—learn to enjoy your own company, honor your commitments, and validate your worth, shifting from a state of need to one of want in order to take the pressure off of the date.

We'll also address the fear of not feeling safe, seen, or heard in relationships and how to overcome it. This fear often stems from survival mode, but with self-discovery, you can feel secure within yourself before seeking it in a partner.

Join us on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Discover how to navigate dating with realistic expectations and have fun along the way!
