Never had a boyfriend to engaged in a year. Here’s what I did.
As most of you know, back in the day I felt like a complete failure when it came to love and relationships.
I was in my late 20s, had never had a proper relationship, and I’d (wine fuelled) cry to my sister about why I couldn’t meet anyone, convinced I was broken, unlovable, and destined to be alone forever.
For years, I was stuck in the anxious–avoidant loop, a messy mix of self-loathing, obsession, and chasing idiots who were never truly available.
I was bar hopping around London, trying to find something I thought was missing. I yearned for love, but couldn't even say the words “I'd like to be in a relationship” out loud.
I had no respect for myself, so I kept settling for half measures — breadcrumb situationships, emotional unavailable types, and chasing people who made me feel like I had to earn their affection.
And when someone actually liked me? I’d reject them. Because calm, consistent love felt boring and chaos felt familiar.
Until one day, I woke up and thought: I can’t do this anymore. I didn't like who I saw in the mirror and the direction I was heading. I felt burned out, bitter and numb.
That was my rock bottom — and the start of everything changing.
I looked around and realised — I was the common denominator in every messy situation. Something had to change.
So, I decided to stop chasing love and start healing.
I got curious about why I kept being drawn to unavailable people, and what that said about my availability and fear of being hurt, rejected and in something real.
I read every book I could find, and learned how to sit with my feelings instead of running from them.
I built self-respect, one boundary at a time. I stopped confusing chemistry with chaos.
I took action and started saying NO to what was not serving me. (I'd started dating someone who looked and felt familiar and wasn't treating me the way I wanted, so I ended things early and moved on)
And slowly, I started believing that I was actually lovable.
That’s when everything changed — including my love life.
Within a year, I went from never having had a boyfriend to being engaged.
Not because I suddenly became “lucky” or found a secret dating hack — but because I became emotionally available to the kind of love I’d always wanted.
Now, I help women who feel unlovable, left behind, or romantically burned out rediscover the joy in themselves and open up to love again — no matter their age or relationship status.
Because if I can go from self-destructing in London bars to engaged in a year…
You sure as hell can too. 💅
So, here's the T on exactly what I did…
💛 I got honest about, my patterns and the role I was playing in my own love life and for every situation I'd been in, I wrote what my responsibility was.
💛 I figured out why I was attracted to certain people, and why I kept swinging between numbing out and anxious obsession (I was repeating what I saw as a child).
💛 I became aware of the deep belief that I wasn’t “enough. and started to change it through mantras, daily exercises and small acts of self love”
💛 I started to explore who I was and what I wanted - a family, home and stability and got proud of it, rather than ashamed
💛 I lowered my walls (terrifying, btw) and leaned into vulnerability instead of running from it. I told people what I wanted, how I felt and tried to let them see the real me
💛 I began to focus on love that already existed, my friends, my family and rather than swiping on apps I made sure I'd check in with them instead.
💛 I stopped being judgy and negative, looking at how I talked about men, dating and others and started to trust that good things could happen for me. Every day I focussed on what I was grateful for and proud of.
💛 I created space for love ( literally and emotionally) building a home with my sister, going through shared ownership and looked at what my space said about
💛 I walked away from red flags, even when it was hard (see dating mention above)
💛 I learned to regulate my emotions without numbing out with alcohol, dating, or distraction.
💛 I got all woo-woo and started to believe in the universe, manifesting, and the power of energy.
💛 And finally… I got very excited about what was to come and started to believe it in my bones.
