Are You Ready to Find “Your Person?”
Love today is a wild ride. We live in a world that is more connected than ever, yet somehow lonelier than ever too. Dating apps, social media, and modern lifestyles have changed the game, and not always for the better. If you’re wondering why finding a genuine connection feels harder than it should, you’re definitely not alone.
Let’s talk about why love feels complicated these days, how technology plays a role, and five powerful ways to start attracting the kind of person who truly gets you.
Why Is Finding Love So Difficult Right Now?
Choice Overload
Dating apps have made it feel like there are endless options…swipe left, swipe right, repeat. But too many choices can actually lead to indecision, shallowness, and ghosting. People are less likely to invest in someone when they believe someone “better” could be one swipe away.Fear of Vulnerability
We’re taught to hustle, stay strong, and play it cool. But love requires the opposite… softness, honesty, and emotional risk. Many people fear being hurt or rejected, so they keep their walls up… which makes it hard to let anyone get to know the real you.Unrealistic Expectations
With influencers and picture-perfect couples constantly in our faces, it’s easy to start believing that love should look like a curated Instagram reel. The truth? Real love is messy, evolving, and deeply human, not filtered perfection.Tech Replaces True Intimacy
We confuse connection with communication. Texting, voice notes, and likes are great, but they can’t replace the energy of real-life presence. Relationships thrive on face-to-face interaction, emotional attunement, and shared experiences.
How Technology Shapes Modern Love
Dating apps can be helpful, but they often gamify connection. Swiping can become addictive, reducing people to photos and bios rather than full humans.
Social media can create illusions of other people’s perfect relationships, of our own desirability, or of the kind of love we think we should have.
AI and chatbots offer convenience, but they can also become emotional placeholders, giving us just enough connection to feel comforted… without the real depth we crave.
5 Ways to Start Attracting Your Person in 2025
Get Clear on What Love Feels Like to You
Not what it looks like on Instagram but what it feels like in your body, in your nervous system. Safe, exciting, peaceful, passionate? Know your version of love so you can recognize it when it shows up.Do the Inner Work First
Your vibe attracts your tribe. The healthier your relationship with yourself, the more likely you are to attract someone aligned with your growth, values, and emotional needs. Therapy, coaching, journaling, embodiment work; all of it counts.Step Outside the Algorithm
Instead of relying only on dating apps, say yes to real-world opportunities. Go to events that light you up, try a new class, or simply make eye contact at your favorite coffee shop. Love can happen anywhere, but you have to be present to notice it.Be Open and Honest Early On
Say what you’re looking for, what matters to you, and what you’re not available for. When you show up as your full self, you make space for others to do the same, and that’s where real connection starts.Trust Divine Timing… But Take Action Too
Yes, love finds us when we least expect it… but it also shows up when we’re willing to participate in life. Take intentional steps toward love while trusting that what’s meant for you won’t miss you.
Final Thoughts:
In 2025, love might look different, but the core of it remains timeless: connection, presence, truth, and care. You don’t need to be perfect, have the best dating profile, or follow some algorithm. You just need to be real, be willing, and be open.
Your person is out there and they’re probably looking for someone exactly like you.
Want help preparing your heart and mind for love? I offer coaching and retreats that go deeper than surface-level dating advice. If you’re ready to call in something real, let’s talk.
Here is what others are saying about our coaching sessions:
“ I think one thing that really stuck with me was this idea: If you’re holding a cup of coffee and someone bumps into you, causing you to spill it, you might ask yourself, “Why did I spill the coffee?” And the usual answer is, “Because someone bumped into me.” But that’s actually the wrong answer. You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in the cup. If there had been water in the cup, you would have spilled water. If it had been tea, you would have spilled tea.
So, whatever is inside the cup is what spills out when life shakes you—and life will shake you. It’s easy to fake being okay until you’re rattled. And that got me thinking: what’s in my cup?
If your cup is filled with joy, peace, happiness, and gratitude, then that’s what will spill out. But for some people, their cup is filled with anger, bitterness, a victim mentality, or the tendency to give up—and that’s what spills out instead.
So, what I’ve learned is that life gives you the cup, but it’s up to you to decide what fills it. And I just thought that was a really interesting realization.
Also, there was a lot of great stuff in that one podcast we recorded. I haven’t re-listened to it yet, but I did look back at my notes. There were some interesting things in that little booklet where I had written down a full list of everything I wanted in a soulmate.
I found that list recently while moving. I pulled it out of a box, looked at it, and Genise saw it. She asked, “What’s that?” I told her it was a list of all the qualities I hoped for in a soulmate. We actually went through the whole list together, and she matched every single item on it.
It was purely coincidental—I hadn’t thought about that list in a long time. Honestly, I think I just got really, really lucky.”
