172: Insider's Secrets -- How to Overcome Dating Fatigue: Expert Tips from Smart Dating Academy!

Smart Dating Academy - The Podcast

ating fatigue is something almost every single one of us has felt at some point. Maybe you've been dating for what feels like a century -- maybe you're exhausted by the dating apps (which can feel like "Human EBay"), endless small talk, or the emotional ups and downs of trying to find “your person"; if so this episode is for you! Bela Gandhi sits down with Smart Dating Academy coach Ilene Collins to unpack one of the most common — and overlooked — challenges in modern dating: dating fatigue.
Ilene has been a powerful SDA coach for five years and has been a repeat voice on the podcast - responsible for MANY client success stories! This episode will give you a sneak peek of how Ilene met her husband Mark (broke every SDA rule, haha!) and help you see how two people that are different religions, races and careers can build a happy life together! And, Ilene brings both her personal experience and coaching expertise to the conversation, sharing how to spot the early signs of burnout and the mindset shifts that can make dating fun again. Together, Bela and Ilene explore what’s really behind dating fatigue — from unrealistic expectations to dating on autopilot — and how to reset your energy, focus, and optimism.
You’ll learn:

• Why dating fatigue happens (and how to know when you’re in it)
• The biggest mindset mistake that keeps people stuck in frustration - and the BEST mindset reset (you won't want to miss this because it is POWERFUL)
• How to take a healthy break — without giving up on love
• How to meet people in real life
• How to make a GREAT first impression
• Practical steps to make dating feel joyful, not draining
• What it means to date with intention and curiosity
