Episode 99: Asking for a friend: how do I date my damn self?



It’s officially the month of love (and the unofficial Miley-buy-yourself-flowers month!), so we’re kicking it off with an episode dedicated to the real love of our life – ourselves! It’s easy to get so focused on dating and romance, that we forget about the importance of self-love, and we’re ready to change that.

Whether you’re feeling lonely or single, or craving some you-time in your relationship, learning to date yourself is a practice that can literally change your life. Because the way you treat yourself will impact the love you attract and the future fulfillment you feel. 

And this isn’t just for the singles! Learning to fulfill your own needs, take yourself out, and romanticize your day-to-day will positively affect all your relationships, and it starts with showing up for your damn self. Luckily, Gill has been on a self-love journey through singledom and solo living, and she’s here to spill the tea on everything she’s learned along the way. 

So if you’re ready to enter your Miley era, join us as we chat about:

  • What dating yourself *actually* means

  • Why it’s time to stop putting your life on hold

  • Reclaiming your alone time and reframing loneliness

  • How to take yourself on a solo date 

  • Ways to romance yourself in the day-to-day

  • Why you should be giving yourself your love language 

  • The deep inner work that will increase self-compassion and self-love 

We hope this episode inspires you to hold your own damn hand and start prioritizing YOU! If you have any burning questions for us and you want to get us in the hotseat, DM or email us your Qs at contact@teachmehowtoadult.ca and we’ll dive into them in an upcoming Asking For A Friend.
