It’s just me this week, and I’m diving into something I know so many of us struggle with: how to use dating apps without completely wrecking your nervous system (and your self-worth). In this bonus episode, I break down what apps are really doing to your brain and body — from the dopamine rollercoasters to the rejection spirals — and more importantly, how to protect your peace while still putting yourself out there.
I share practical strategies to avoid burnout, recognize dysregulation, and date from a place of clarity instead of chaos. I also talk about how I’ve been using journaling — and let’s be real, an embarrassing number of pens and highlighters — as a grounding tool to process the emotional ups and downs that come with app culture.
