Breaking the Cycle: From Toxic Dating to Self-Love with Phoebe Rogers

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in the same painful dating patterns, emotionally unavailable partners, one-sided connections, chasing love while abandoning yourself - you’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not broken.

On today's episode, I'm joined by clinical psychologist, couples therapist, and author Phoebe Rogers, who is a returning guest, to talk about her new book: When Will it Happen for Me? A shame-free guide to finding love on your own timeline.

Phoebe shares her own story of healing, including how inner child work, self-compassion, and therapy helped her break free from toxic dating cycles and start showing up for herself in love. Together, we delve into how our past shapes our patterns - and how real transformation begins when we choose to love ourselves first.

On this episode we explore:

  • Why toxic relationship patterns often stem from early emotional wounds
  • How inner child work can transform your dating life
  • The shift from chasing validation to building self-trust
  • Why self-love doesn’t mean waiting to be “fully healed”
  • How Phoebe’s personal story shaped her clinical work and her book
  • A sneak peek at her book release and pre-order bonus for listeners

✨ If you’ve been wondering when love will finally “happen” for you - this episode might just be the reminder you didn’t know you needed: real love starts with you.
