How to Deal with Nosy People

Happy Tuesday!

Have you ever been on a weird first date, work or family function where people start asking you inappropriate questions?

They may come completely out of nowhere and catch you off guard. 

If you’re at all empathetic, you may be very attuned to other people’s feelings and have a hard time setting boundaries when faced with an unexpected question you just don’t want to answer! 

This could be anything from, “Why aren’t you married yet?” to “How much did you pay for that new car you got?” 

Or one or my favorites for first dates: “So… how long have you been on (insert dating app). Why are you still single?” 

Ugh! 

So annoying, right?

Click here to hear my A to this Q!

ps: Healthy boundaries start with healthy self-love. Not sure how to do that? No fear! Check out 60 Seconds to Self Love: super short, actionable tips you can apply now to start building that self-love confidence!

Can You Truly Fall In Love Without Meeting In Person?

Happy Tuesday! 

As we navigate dating in this “new norm” the question came up-like, can you really, truly fall in love with someone online without ever meeting in person? 

I actually remember being in my college dorm room messaging with some guy I had met in a chat room from AOL (I’m totally dating myself but oh well!) 🙂

And now looking back, I wonder-wow-was what I thought I felt real or was it all in my head? 

Today, with everything that has unfolded with the pandemic, using apps to date has become more and more common, but this question still prevails: is the love real? 

I was recently interviewed about this very subject by Elite Daily–check out the article here.

Do you show yourself empathy?

Happy Tuesday! 

How was your weekend? I’m currently visiting family in California and it was super surreal to go on an airplane/be in an airport. 

I have this ritual of reading magazines in the kiosk before flying and as I headed happy towards the Newsstand, I realized that they had taken most of the magazines out for COVID. My heart sank and for a moment I wasn’t sure what to do. 

Such a simple thing, but it had been part of my pre-flight self care ritual for so long, I felt like a kid who had their favorite candy bar discontinued. 

And it struck me that I was feeling super uncomfortable with my own discomfort. 

Have you ever felt that way? 

And how we are taught to show empathy towards others, but what about ourselves? 

When those irrational insecurities, fears and doubts creep up… I feel like it’s the true litmus test of self-love. 

I was recently interviewed in Clubhouse on the topic of Empathy in Business and the tips I shared there can be applied to relationships as well.
