14. Emotional Baggage Check: How to Be INTENTIONAL when you're dating!

In Episode 14, host Ashley Hydrick dives deep into the complexities of dating as a mature lesbian, focusing on emotional availability and intentionality. Ashley shares candid stories from her own dating life, emphasizing the importance of not settling—even when the dating pool offers attractive, but emotionally unavailable partners. She reflects on her personal growth, six years of therapy, and how meditation helped her release emotional baggage from past relationships.


Ashley also discusses the significance of creating a realistic "partner list"—qualities you're looking for in a partner—without being overly picky, and how to handle the allure of emotionally unavailable women (especially if they're great kissers!). She talks about how alcohol and casual dating shaped earlier years, contrasting that with her current, more intentional approach to love.


Ashley’s honesty about her journey offers guidance for those who are re-entering the dating scene, particularly in midlife, and encourages viewers to be brave enough to choose partners that align with their values and emotional needs.
