125: Trusting Yourself to See Relationships Clearly

<p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Relationships can become much harder to see clearly when our emotions, hopes, fears, and past experiences are involved. Sometimes we recognize the red flags or feel that something isn’t right long before we’re ready to admit it to ourselves.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">In this episode, I’m joined by relationship coach and “Is He Worthy?” author Dave McLachlan for a conversation about bringing greater clarity and self-trust into the way we choose and navigate relationships. Dave shares how his own difficult divorce inspired him to create the Worthy Method, an unemotional relationship assessment designed to help women identify what truly matters to them, establish their non-negotiables, and look more objectively at whether a relationship aligns with the life they want. We explore why we can override our intuition, how emotions can cloud what we already know, and why recognizing our own relationship patterns is an important part of making different choices.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">What You'll Learn</strong></p><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">How defining your non-negotiables can help you make more aligned choices</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Why we sometimes override red flags and our own intuition</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">How self-awareness can reveal patterns in the relationships we choose</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Why assessing your own readiness matters just as much as assessing a potential partner</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">How forgiveness can help you release past relationship choices and move forward with greater self-trust</span></li></ul><p><br></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Use code "4GIVE" for a 45-day free trial of the Is He Worthy community: </span><a href="https://isheworthy.com/Subscribe" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">https://isheworthy.com/Subscribe</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">About Dave McLachlan:</strong></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(34, 34, 34);">​Dave's work focuses on helping women assess their relationships more clearly to stop bad relationships before they start.&nbsp; He is the creator of the W.O.R.T.H.Y.
