"Learning to love your own company is the first step to falling back in love with your life.” - Rebecca Ann

Reclaiming the Relationship with Yourself

One of the hardest and most healing things you can do post-loss? Spend time alone - on purpose. Not distracted. Not multitasking. Just being with yourself. And no - I'm not talking about folding laundry in silence. I mean an actual date.....with you.

Episode 20: The Solo Date Challenge - Falling Back in Like with Yourself

My First Solo Date (and the Awkwardness of It)

I took myself to lunch and felt wildly self-conscious. I kept pretending to text someone so I wouldn't look lonely. But after the first few minutes of awkwardness? I felt peace. It reminded me that I like being with me.

Why Solo Time Matters

When you show up for yourself, you:

• Rebuild confidence

• Learn to enjoy your own company again

• Give your nervous system a much-needed break

You don't need someone to take you out. You are worthy of your own time and attention.

Easy Solo Date Ideas

• Coffee at your favourite cafe

• A walk by the water with your earbuds and playlist

• Browsing your local market or bookstore

• A sunset picnic just for you

Say Yes to Yourself Again

The world will keep spinning. The to-do list will always be there. But you matter. Block that hour in your calendar and take yourself out.
