15: My Dating Dealbreakers

After everything I've learned from past relationships, heartbreak, and being single again, I've been thinking a lot about what I actually will—and won't—accept in my next relationship.

In this episode, I go through my dating dealbreakers: from communication, emotional intelligence, ambition, and consistency to boundaries, honesty, values, politics, lifestyle, and the way someone treats other people.

Some are about compatibility. Some are about personal preferences. And some are absolute non-negotiables.

I also talk about the difference between having standards and expecting perfection, and why knowing your dealbreakers isn't about creating an impossible checklist—it's about knowing yourself well enough to recognize when someone isn't right for you.

I'm not looking for someone perfect. I'm looking for someone whose values, character, and way of moving through the world are compatible with mine.
