## Resource

You keep telling yourself it was just bad luck, poor timing, or the wrong guy, but what if there’s a deeper pattern God is trying to help you see... In this episode, I’m talking about toxic dating patterns, ignored red flags, drinking on dates, and some of the ways we accidentally settle for less and date down. If you’re tired of attracting emotionally unavailable or emotionally immature men and asking why the same thing keeps happening, this conversation is for you (because it happened over and over and over to me).
