7 Mistakes Sabotaging your Love Life
Jun 27, 2025Sometimes, women trying to elevate into the best version of themselves tend to make some mistakes.
Some of them are tiny, but a lot of them are costly.
I know I used to.
In fact, many times I thought I was doing it all the right way… only for life to humble me and remind me I was going in the opposite direction and making things worse.
Today I put together a list of the biggest/most common mistakes a lot of women tend to make as they deepen into building a healthier relationship with themselves.. (I made some of them too)
These are powerful concepts & when applied will make a massive difference in how your energy is received by others.
Have you noticed yourself falling into any of these easy traps of the mind?
- Forgetting that you are in control of your reality - When we get caught up in the day to day motions of life, it can be easy to forget just how powerful we are. We are spiritual beings with access to the magic of the Universe. You have the ability to make anything happen. Life is an open space that you get to dictate.
As a human, the mind LOVES making us feel small, insignificant, unworthy etc… but we have to remember that we have the luxury of creating our own future, so the time you take right now to look at those limiting thoughts, fears & anxieties will directly impact how your life continues to unfold. #damnnnn - Allowing FEAR to run the show - Have you ever felt that deep yearning in your heart to do more, be more, experience more… but something within you just keeps holding you back? That’s the nasty voice of fear rearing it’s head. Fear loves to keep us in our comfort zone. It thinks it’s “trying to protect you”... But in reality, it’s keeping you in the same patterns & attracting the same types of experiences. The good news, is these fears can be RELEASED for good. (Listen to Naomi’s experience here- she released fears from 10 years of haunting her in one session with me)
- Not allowing yourself to dream - Yes, as adults we need to be responsible and there are a lot more demands on us than when we were carefree little kiddos.. BUT - We have to remember to not lose touch with that creative imagination. THAT is what brings things to life! If you find yourself getting stuck in a loophole of doing what you THINK you need to do, or what you think is “realistic” or “seems” possible, I challenge you to step out of that mindset, even just for a day. Refuse to put yourself inside a box and ask yourself, what IF?
- What if I didn’t have the stresses of today?
- What would my HEART WANT?
And then give yourself the time to reflect, journal and listen to those answers. That’s the first step in pointing you in the direction of your deeper aligned life path.
- Not being intentional - This is probably the trickiest trap of them all… Getting caught up in “going through the motions of life”. We’re habitual beings as humans, and if there’s a way things have been, it can be extra challenging to mentally STOP the momentum, look at how we’re showing up, and adjust to change our thinking / actions accordingly. But when we do this, we change everything.
What if you could begin to see each interaction, each day, each experience as an opportunity to shift the way people experience you? Just by the way you showed up in your energy alone?
What if you chose to pause, breathe and smile before going into the grocery store? How do you think that intentional shift in your energy might change the way others receive you? Some powerful food for thought ;)
- Not trusting your instinct enough - This to me is everything. When you’re not able to trust yourself, it feels like you don’t feel safe in your own being. It feels hard to be your authentic self at all times and it all comes down to this question.
- Do you honor yourself enough to put your needs and your feelings over those of somebody else?
- Do you listen when that little quiet voice from within begins to speak, or does your mind try to push it down - rationalizing it with what it “thinks is right”, or overanalyzing things to death?
Helping women to trust their intuition again is the main core element of what I support women with. It is the single most important aspect of self love. If we don’t have connection to our intuition, we are not embodied within ourself.
- Holding on to past relationships - This is one of the hardest things to do because it involves emotions and another person.It’s an internal progress that takes time and cannot be ignored. But when you don’t let go, you prevent yourself from making space for new, supportive, loving people to come forward. You block new blessings and opportunities from knocking on your door.
Take a moment to think about this - is there any leaky energy in your life? Any incompletions or people whom you don’t yet have closure with? Now is the time to begin healing those relationships <3
And last but definitely not least...
- Don’t take yourself too seriously. Life has a way of starting to feel heavy and serious when we let too much time go by without checking in with ourselves. Life is not meant to be a never ending hamster wheel of achieving and getting by.
It’s meant to be a dance, an opportunity to ebb and flow.. And in the flow moments, we celebrate, we relax, we let go of the reins a bit…
Ask yourself, how might you be holding on a bit too tight, and what can you do to let go of the oars a bit more?
I’m curious to hear from you - which one is the most challenging for you?
If this is really striking a chord within you and you’re thinking, “shit… she just spoke right to me, I need help with this”...
