Dating Empowerment Over People-Pleasing: Episode 7

This is Part 3 of our series on The Stop Chasing Unavailable Guys Podcast, The Worst Dating Advice for Women Over 40, and let me tell you, this one gets a little spicy! We're diving into some of the most toxic, unhelpful dating advice out there and flipping it on its head. Spoiler: If you've ever felt like you needed a PhD in "understanding men" to find love, this episode is for you.

Here’s what we’ll unpack:

Why advice focused on “attracting the guy” often backfires
How hyper-focusing on men’s behaviors keeps you stuck
My personal story of dating insecurity and toxic empathy—and how I turned it around
The #1 reason women chase unavailable men (and how to stop doing it!)

Dating should not feel like a high-stakes game where you're constantly analyzing, second-guessing, and morphing into someone else to fit what you think a guy wants. Trust me, I’ve been there, and I want to help you break free from this exhausting cycle.
