This week's episode is a little different - it's just me. In this solo edition of Kismet, I'm getting vulnerable and sharing a tool inspired by my Kismet guests that has helped me clarify my dating goals: my non-negotiables list.
This episode isn't about manifesting the "perfect" partner or writing down a wish list of attributes. We all have our big deal breakers, but this episode gets into the nuance. It's about digging deep to uncover our individual, harder-to-name emotional needs and values that help us feel safe, loved, and supported. These are areas that we too often ignore, avoid, suppress, and hope that love will be enough. Spoiler alert: it rarely is.
I'm walking through how I built my own list, some of the non-negotiables I've landed on (and why), and how using this tool has helped me to be more comfortable recognizing and releasing people who aren't the right fit earlier.
If you're single and figuring out what actually matters to you in a partner, I hope this gives you some language for it. And if you've got your own non-negotiables you'd like to share, I'd love to hear them! Drop me a comment on my YouTube page, or send me an email: kismetstoriespodcast@gmail.com
Until next time, be bold, be kind, and be open to every day magic.
