#105: It's Not About Finding Him, It's About Being Her

You don’t have a man problem in your love life; you have a self-concept problem that quietly shapes every relationship you choose. I know you think you just haven’t met a man who can match you. A man secure enough to celebrate your success. But if you keep focusing on finding him, you will stay stuck in the same exhausting cycle. The common denominator in your dating history is you. That is not an insult. It is your power. If you believe the problem is the apps…or your city…or men who are intimidated by you, then you are helpless. If the patterns live within you, you can change them! High-achieving women often dominate at work and doubt themselves in love. You accept crumbs. You wait to be chosen. You tell yourself stories about intimidated men while quietly abandoning your own standards. Protection becomes your strategy. And protection prevents connection. Becoming “her” means healing your self-concept, trusting your worth, and developing real relationship skills. The kind of man you want has done his mirror work. When you do yours, you stop chasing love and start embodying it. And that changes everything.
