    How To Wait Well: Patience & Hope While You Are Single

    How can we wait productively for the big things in life?  Mayra & Emily discuss the power of waiting well for what’s best for you. They talk about the intuition and conviction behind patience, particularly waiting on the Lord during difficult seasons. “Patience is the posture of the heart while you wait.” This includes being hopeful while single, getting back up after being discouraged, and believing that the plans for your life will be good. Ask yourself what is underneath the desires that you have & what is driving the questions that you are asking. Wait until the person in front of you aligns with those underlying needs, don’t settle at the first sign of something similar to it. Maintain your sense of identity & worth in the waiting so you are ready when your person arrives in your life; Avoid the trap of comparing yourself to someone else’s journey! Wait with your whole being, grieve when it doesn’t come, but focus on the morning that’s coming. 00:36 Personal Journey of Waiting 01:53 Biblical Perspectives on Waiting 04:38 Patience and Intuition in Waiting 06:02 Maintaining Hope and Faith 08:18 Practical Advice for Singles 13:33 The Role of Comparison and Social Pressure 16:57 Knowing When the Wait is Over Tune in to Season 4: SINGLE & DATING for relatable conversations with Mayra, a licensed therapist, and Emily, who holds a bachelor’s in Psychology from Harvard.

    What To Expect From the Dating Season

    The dating season is a learning season. Expect to be nervous if you really like this person. Going on dates is the prospect that your whole life could change after meeting this person. In a dating season, you should expect rejection & learn to push through it. Every ‘no’ gets you one step closer to your ‘yes.’ Feeling hopeless is normal when you really want something to work out, and it doesn’t. Rely on friends who can remind you that even if this specific person wasn’t for you, that doesn’t mean there’s not going to be somebody for you in the future. Everybody’s story is different. Don’t make someone else’s story into the expectation of what your reality should be.  Don’t compromise your expectations just because you haven’t found someone yet. If you expect kindness, patience, and dedication from yourself, then you should be able to expect it in a partner. Take it one date at a time, and expect that it takes time to get to know someone. Say the things that matter to you out loud, remind yourself of them in times of hopelessness, and expect that they are out there waiting for you. The only person who has to expect your non-negotiables is you. Tune in to Season 4: SINGLE & DATING for relatable conversations with Mayra, a licensed therapist, and Emily, who holds a bachelor’s in Psychology from Harvard.

    What To Expect If He Actually Likes You

    In this episode of Single & Dating, Emily & Mayra discuss healthy expectations in dating. Expect good conversations on dates, expect to be treated well, regardless of whether or not the date goes well, and don’t settle for less. Look for effort, intentionality, and showing you that the date is a priority. Expect there to be a directness in dating; When someone likes you, they should be willing to tell you upfront, willing to risk the vulnerability of telling you, and ultimately free you from the confusion that you would otherwise feel. Expect dating the right person to be fun, refreshing, and to bring you a level of peace. Give people the freedom to show you who they are, and believe what they tell you, even if it’s not what you wanted to hear. Think about what you want in the long-haul, and whether this person fits into and supports your dream for the future. Otherwise, you could end up shifting your life for this person, rather than waiting to find someone who wants the same things. Expect that who they are right now is going to be who they are for the rest of your life, unless they are already showing you the specific ways that they are growing and changing. Act based on what they are saying right now, not based on what you expect will change in the future. Do not expect anyone to change for you. Know what you want, stand by it, and expect that it’s out there waiting for you.
