After the emotional rollercoaster of divorce, stepping back into the dating world can feel overwhelming. Doubts creep in: Am I ready? Will anyone want me? Do I even remember how to date? These are common fears, but they don’t define your future. Dating post-divorce is a chance to reconnect with yourself, redefine your needs, and – most importantly – do it on your terms.

It’s not just about finding someone new; it’s about rediscovering you. Building self-confidence before you date again isn’t just a bonus – it’s essential. By focusing on self-reflection, self-care, and embracing your resilience, you’ll approach dating confidently and attract the right kind of partner who respects and appreciates the empowered woman you’ve become.

Starting to date after coming out of a relationship can be like stepping into unknown territory. Especially if you’ve come out of a very long relationship. Some women I coach, have come out of a 20+ year relationship which can make it even more daunting. Online dating, for example, may not have even existed the last time they dipped their toes into the dating pool. Whilst of course, healing and focusing on yourself and inner growth should be the priority initially, the time will come when you are ready to start dating.

I recently wrote a blog post on red flags to look out for when dating. It’s so important to be aware of these when you start dating, but setting and maintaining dating boundaries is also essential for building a healthy relationship.

Here’s how to establish dating boundaries to protect your well-being:Continue Reading →

Dating a single mum – From a male perspective!

In my early days of becoming a single mum, I had a lot of fear about dating. For the first year, I thought Who would want to date ME? I certainly didn’t think I was girlfriend material. Looking back, I most definitely undervalued myself as a person and what I could bring to a relationship. But what I found through my dating journey was that being a single mum really wasn’t a negative thing.

In fact, to most men I’ve spoken with, having kids from a previous relationship is not really a big deal at all.

But these are pretty easy to manage.”

So let’s hear it from the male perspective. What are some great reasons to date a single mum?Continue Reading →
