Embracing 04: Ladies and gentlemen, the cuffing season begins Coffee with Cola and Chantal

Welcome back friends! Today, we are diving into the juicy stuff. Cuffing season is around the corner (or has it already begun?) and it’s only natural that we want to find someone to hibernate with in this cold ☔️
But why are we so terrified of being alone? What is the difference between needing a relationship and wanting one? And how do we find the balance between being our own person but not getting stuck in the hyper-independent mentality? In this episode, we share our perspectives on dating, staying single, and how we tend to give our power to be happy away & reserve happiness for the mere potential of a relationship.
As always, we hope you enjoy! 🌞
