140: I Have Inner Peace and I'm Single with Jonathon Aslay

Conversation begins 13 minutes in.

Midway into his 40s and still very much motivated by the having of things, America’s Leading Midlife Dating & Relationship Coach and author of What The Heck Is Self-Love Anyway, Jonathon Aslay, unexpectedly steered himself into the perfect storm aka the humbling event that forced him into realizing we each are the creators of our experiences.

It began when he filed for divorce, lost his quarter of a million dollar job a few months later, then got wiped out financially not long after that and, unable to find a job, had to move into a retirement community and become roommates with his parents. Before his grand awakening, Jonathan spent his first year as a divorcee feeding his drug of choice—online dating/communicating with women—only to realize a 100 dates in that the ever elusive “something isn’t right” was really within him.

Opening up to Chelsea, he shares the micro-moment that helped him shift his addictive relationship with dating and what his deep dive into selfhood taught him about true empowerment, cultivating inner peace, purposeful dating and sainthood.

Gems to look out for:

+ a woman’s need to understand men often comes from a place of fear versus empowerment
+ the four attachment styles: secure, anxious-ambivalent/preoccupied, anxious-avoidant/dismissive, disorganized
+ we don’t vent to get validation, but we complain to get sympathy
+ social media is overrun with people vomiting their victimhood (victim consciousness)
+ true empowerment is taking personal responsibility for all your choices
+ with inner peace, you can find joy and happiness in almost anything
+ when one is constantly searching for happiness, most likely they’re going to get the corresponding opposite as well
+ when you say you’re happy being single, you’re telling the universe you’re happy staying single too.
+ how a back injury made him pause and think, what an interesting way to love myself this week
+ everything that happens, whether good or bad, is an opportunity to love ourselves
+ our ego is so insidious that it even shuns true love
+ social media and television hypnotizes us into putting our attention into the most emotionally devastating things which, in the process, robs us of self-control and empowerment
+ how a woman he shared one terrible dinner date with was a soulmate
+ what you have to let go of in order to be friends with an ex

And much, much more.
