If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I dating a narcissist?” it’s usually not because of one argument — it’s because of how you feel after spending time together.
In this episode of Dating to Win, we talk about the subtle emotional signs that show up in unhealthy dating dynamics. Not labels. Not diagnoses. Just the quiet patterns that leave you feeling confused, drained, or like you’re slowly losing yourself in the relationship.
This conversation explores emotional manipulation, boundaries, people-pleasing, and why love should feel safe — not stressful.
If this episode resonates, you’re not broken, you’re not crazy, and you’re not asking for too much.

Dating self sabotage is the biggest mistake ruining your love life right now — and most people don’t even realize they’re doing it.
In this episode of Dating to Win, we break down why dating isn’t working for so many people today and how your own mindset may be quietly working against you. From overthinking texts and impossible standards to confusing chaos with chemistry, these patterns push people away before real connection ever has a chance to grow.
You’ll learn:
What dating self sabotage actually looks like in real life
Why peaceful relationships can feel “boring” at first
How fear disguises itself as logic in dating
Why you keep repeating the same dating patterns
How to reset your dating mindset without becoming guarded
Dating isn’t complicated — but it is uncomfortable. When you stop sabotaging yourself, dating becomes clearer, calmer, and more intentional.

Today is New Year’s Day 2026 — and this episode is about more than resolutions.It’s about recognizing that time is short, growth is intentional, and every single day matters if you want to become the best version of yourself.In this motivational audio episode, we talk about why new beginnings require new standards, why improving your appearance is about self-respect, and why what you offer in a relationship matters more than what you want from one. We explore how career direction shapes your future, how surrounding yourself with negativity can quietly hold you back, and why finding people who uplift and challenge you is essential for real growth.We also discuss the idea of saying “yes” responsibly — saying yes to opportunities, growth, and discomfort that lead to progress — and why you should stop treating an ordinary Tuesday like just another day. Every day is a chance for a new beginning, momentum, and opportunity.When you adopt a positive, intentional mindset, you don’t just change your own life — you become a source of motivation and leadership for others who need it.This episode is a reminder that growth isn’t accidental. It’s a decision you make daily.Start 2026 the right way.youtube.com/@DatingtoWin25Email: AdviceforDating00@gmail.com
