High Value Dating: Do’s and Don’ts

Do make your boundaries clear. Throughout your dates, be communicative to your partner about how things are going to work with you. If you don’t do 50/50, say so. If you are very busy and only have time a few hours a week, say so. If anything physical is off the table, say so. Whatever is your high standard, make it clear and don’t worry about coming off as too strong or high-maintenance. A gentleman, a man of high value in fact appreciates a strong-minded woman who knows what she wants, and doesn’t settle for less. He will admire your clarity and honesty. The men that mind your boundaries and standards don’t matter, and those that matter won’t mind.

You Deserve The Gift Of Happiness

Most people, my past self included, think that happiness is a destination. One you reach after you tick off a long, challenging list of tasks that validate your worth to this exclusive club called happiness. The reason why this perception is faulty – and ultimately, it does the opposite of its purpose, by letting happiness slip through your fingers as an elusive idea – is because it’s not a destination to begin with. It’s not a reward if you’ve been good enough by doing this and that. Chasing that eternally elusive…

4 Things Every Woman Should Know About Love

Someone depressed or heartbroken is not going to be magically “fixed” by your love. Does it help? Absolutely. It supports their healing, their recovery, offers them a pillar of support. But that patching up of their heart, and healing from their traumas, is something only they can do, as it is their core responsibility. You can’t make that choice, or that change, in their place.

The Sacredness of Connection: A Letter to Lonely Souls

Although the circumstances of 2021 may lower a veil of illusion – that we are disconnected – the truth is we have always been one, and will continue to be one. The only thing that isolates us, is our perception. Our beliefs. Our fears. Our judgements. Our assumptions. The walls we put up around ourselves, between each other – emotional and otherwise…

High Value: Misconceptions, What It Is and What It Isn’t

The High Value concept is not an a-ha! sticky note to pull out as dating strategies that have an eskewed perception of what a healthy relationship or dating should be like. Other people don’t get to decide that being a career woman, or being highly intelligent or knowledgeable, is “low value” of you – that’s their eskewed perception of what a woman should be like. And although that is generally an unhealthy mindset (because in a proper healthy relationship, both partners support each other’s growth, whether personal or professional), it is their subjective belief, one which you don’t need to argue, agree, or invest any energy in. Let them believe what they wish. You already know your value, darlings, and it’s not dependent on other people’s contorted beliefs. It’s only dependent on your beliefs on your own value. Know the difference.

Having a growth mindset is a way of seeing life. Although you are a masterpiece, you are not framed in a still room as decor. You are an enigma, you are a magnificent creation.
