For the past 5 years, Co-founder and Chief Wellness Officer of Wise & Well Academy Dr. Kara Fasone PhD hasn’t felt the need to define any one relationship, create specific expectations with a person or make a possessive label out of them. This choice has left many men baffled—am I not masculine enough? why wouldn’t you want to be exclusive? etc, etc.—whereas, it’s left Kara feeling light, fun and free. Also, brand new. Joining Chelsea 7 minutes in, Kara opens up about her past life as a people pleaser, what single life looks like for her, leveraging the opportunity of a breakup to reflect, reassess and sometimes pivot, shifting away from the shoulds and towards the wants, the value of making decisions overtime and from a place of logic rather than emotion, and how each person, relationship and interaction draws forth a lesson, bringing us closer to ourself and the one that we will leap for.Gems to listen out for:+ most successful relationships hinge on finding someone with the same values + why we lead with interests versus values when dating+ how the rush of timelines—“I’m not moving fast enough”—makes it so we don’t sit and ask the important questions+ we place a lot of importance on how other’s perceive us but we often make incorrect assumptions+ take time to understand how others might feel versus how we think others might feel+ life is a series of stereotypes+ the need to be self-focused at some point in your life+ prioritizing long-term impact versus short-term satisfaction+ the need to be upfront about what you’re looking for—or not looking for—in the Tinder Age. + the sooner you realize you’re in control, the sooner you can bounce back+ looking at relationships not as a responsibility to keep and please the other but as a fun activity to experience meaningfully—To connect with Kara, visit:Wise & Well Academy: wellwisefree.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/wise_and_well_academyFacebook: www.facebook.com/WiseAndWellAcademy—Work with Chelsea: www.breakupward.com/shopChelsea’s website: www.breakupward.comSign up for Chelsea’s newsletter: bit.ly/tyhbletterInstagram: www.instagram.com/thankyouheartbreakConnect and send in your questions and/or letters viawww.instagram.com/thankyouheartbreakOr by email: Chelsea@breakupward.com
