I can certainly see why you might assume my life
is a non-stop, swinging, suburban bacchanal. Unfortunately it’s a
lot less groovy than you’d imagine. Sure I can be found at the
occasional sex party. However, while most folks are there for NSA,
consensual hook ups, I’m likely being overwhelmed by bad
flooring.
That’s because I have a problem. I’m a serial remodeler.
As a result, I’m totally addicted to home improvement and real estate shows. I watch hours and hours of kindly Canadian contractors, stressed-out house flippers, kitchen and bathroom rescues, and people pretending to house hunt. If I’m being totally honest, it’s really more of a love/hate relationship. I love the shows but I hate the insane needs they invent for said hunters.
“We need 11 bedrooms, 10+ acres, must be walking distance to city center, with a 360 degree mountain view, spa bathroom, spa living room, spa crawl space, zero-gravity sneaker closet, cat washing room, 35 car rooftop garage in an Open-Concept-Victorian-Tudor-Mid-Century-Modern-Farmhouse-Turnkey-Fixer. Our budget is up to $45,000.”
Cut To: Me yelling at the TV.
But the other day as I was hate watching, I started to wonder if some of us apply these same insanely picky standards to other aspects of life. Specifically dating.
If you look at how you're searching for a partner through the prism of house hunting, are your superficial requirements pricing you out of the market?
Yes, you should always have high standards. I’m simply suggesting that in order to find true love, some folks might need a little emotional remodeling.
And that’s where this week’s guest, Veronica Grant, comes in.
Veronica Grant is a Love + Life Coach, host of the Love Life Connection podcast, and creator of the Deep Work Deep Love Course suite. Veronica’s work has been featured in O the Oprah Magazine, Bustle, Your Tango, and countless podcasts.
As someone who struggled in love herself and was tired of unsolicited and usually patronizing dating advice (even if well-meaning), she created the resources she wished were available before she met her husband. She’s here with great advice on how to shake up how you find love.
We talk about the surprising forces behind bad decision-making. How to recognize if you’re assigning happiness to the wrong things. Plus, the one part of your body that never, ever lies.
Oh yeah, she’s also obsessed with home improvement and house hunting shows so we have a lot of fun with this one.
