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.

67. In this episode of "The Soul Spot" podcast, Jen and Nadia explore the changing dynamics of love and relationships among Millennials and Gen Z, focusing on the evolving energies of masculinity and femininity. They discuss the decline in marriage rates and how traditional gender roles, such as men as providers and women as caretakers, are being challenged.

The hosts highlight issues like modern men struggling with motivation, often labeled as "failure to launch," and women taking on too much control in their lives and relationships, leading to an imbalance.

The podcast emphasizes the need for women to embrace their feminine energy by relinquishing control and for men to step into their masculine energy by taking decisive action. The goal is not to revert to old gender roles but to find balance in relationships. The episode offers practical advice on fostering mutual respect, allowing space for growth, and creating healthier relationship dynamics.
