Episode notes
Self-care episode 6: Have we become disconnected? Has the pandemic splintered relationships, impacted loneliness and if so, how can we find love and forge deep relationships when the rules around human contact have changed so much?
Rachel New, a dating and relationships coach and I discuss how dating is much more than swiping left (or right) on your phone. She explains why it can be an effective way to bridge social divides, as well as helping you find the love of your life. We look at how any relationship (new or old) needs emotional investment — and some helpful ways to do that.
We talk about how to spot what works in a relationship — and what doesn't and how our own values are so vital in finding the right partner. Rachel shares a host of tips on how to celebrate ourselves, reflect on past relationships and forge new ones. From mind-mapping to journalling we discuss all things selfcare and how we can stay connected.
