    058 | How Dating Someone Change Who You Are (And What to Watch For)
    Apr 6 2026

    Did you like who you were in your last relationship?
    Did that person bring out your confidence, or your anxiety?
    Are you becoming more like yourself in this relationship, or slowly losing parts of who you are?

    The person you date affects more than your relationship status. They shape how you feel about yourself, how you show up in your everyday life, and what starts to feel normal in love. In this episode, Jessica Davis breaks down how dating can bring out different versions of you, why that matters more than most people realize, and how to tell whether a relationship is helping you grow or pulling you further away from yourself.

    What You’ll Learn in This Episode

    • Why the version of you that shows up in a relationship tells you a lot about whether it is healthy
    • How jealousy, insecurity, anger, silence, and people-pleasing can signal deeper relationship problems
    • What “relationship inauthenticity” looks like, and why acting against yourself takes a toll on mental health
    • Why early dating experiences can shape what feels normal in future relationships
    • The one question to ask yourself if you want more clarity about the person you are dating

    56 | Train Your Brain to Handle Anxiety Like an Athlete
    Mar 23 2026
    • Do you avoid things because anxiety makes them feel bigger than they are?
    • Do you feel like pressure gets in your head before you even begin?
    • What if you started training your mind the same way athletes train for game day?

    Anxiety often makes life feel high-stakes. A hard conversation, walking into a room, sending a text back, trying something new, it can all feel like too much before it even starts. But athletes do not wait until the big moment to get ready. They build mental strength in the small, repeated moments long before the pressure hits.

    What You’ll Learn

    • Why anxiety grows when you avoid practice
    • How small daily wins build trust in yourself
    • Why a growth mindset helps lower pressure
    • How visualization prepares your brain for hard moments
    • What it means to coach yourself through anxiety
    • How to create a simple game plan for real progress
