Jen and Nadia focus on the concepts of self-love and "dating yourself" as essential practices for cultivating self-worth and fulfillment, particularly when people feel lost or disconnected during major life changes, like empty-nesting, divorce, or job loss. The host emphasizes that many personal struggles stem from a lack of self-worth, which in turn relates to self-love.

They discuss how difficult it can be to learn self-love later in life and how essential it is to build a relationship with oneself, much like dating someone else. This involves being honest about your desires, setting boundaries, and recognizing emotional triggers. The host draws parallels between tips for dating and self-care, stressing the importance of truly paying attention to oneself, rather than merely doing things alone.

The podcast encourages listeners to practice self-care that is intentional and focused on personal enjoyment and self-awareness. The idea of taking small steps, even if uncomfortable, to spend time alone, as doing so can create space for inspiration and self-reflection.
