About this episode

Kristin discusses various listener dating dilemmas, including co-parenting with narcissists and the challenges of dating as an independent woman.

We’re back for more listener dating dilemmas, and we cover everything. From texting gaps and gut feelings, to dating with kids (and narcissistic exes), intentional dating vs. playing it cool, and how to show interest without overdoing it. We also get into independent women being punished for their independence, overbearing moms, men trashing their exes, co-parenting with narcissists, and how to keep your nervous system regulated when dating (or divorce) dynamics get messy. Plus, dating your husband when you have kids, setting boundaries, and trusting patterns when someone shows you exactly who they are. A word from my sponsors: Upward - Download Upward .
