EP 21: When Singleness Becomes Your Identity with Amy Jones

October 22, 2024 • Beatrice Rosu • Season 2 • Episode 21

In this episode, I’m sitting down with my friend Amy Jones to talk about the emotional rollercoaster of moving from being happily single to stepping into a committed relationship. We get into the real stuff—facing fears, dealing with anxieties, and what it’s like to let someone new into your world after being content on your own. We chat about everything from balancing physical attraction with your deeper values to the struggles of modern dating and how compromise plays a big role in making it work. It’s an honest conversation filled with relatable stories and practical advice for anyone navigating that tricky shift from single to partnered life. Trust me, finding the right person can feel like a one-in-a-million journey, and we’re here to break it all down.
