“A liberating guide for every woman ready to embrace her own worth, heal deeply, and find fulfillment from within.”—Wendy Valentine, host of The Midlife Makeover Show and author of Women Waking Up

If you’ve been waiting for your life to start once your relationship status changes, it’s time to rethink things and learn to choose your self first. We often relate to singlehood as a phase that should be rushed and remedied by finding a partner, rather than relating to it as our most potent opportunity for growth. But if the priority is on being chosen over being the one to choose, you’re more likely to keep ending up with the wrong partner. It’s time to break these old patterns and embrace single life with compassion. “One of the great advantages of spending time intentionally single,” shares expert coach and therapist Megan Sherer, “is having time to self-reflect, to learn from your past, and to experiment with new ways of being. Key word: intentionally.”

Sherer teaches how to fall in love with your own life and be unwilling to waver in the pursuit of a relationship as strong as the one you build within your self. Using personal story as well as potent reflection prompts, somatic exercises, and self-care practices, she shepherds you through the process of moving beyond attachment wounds to new levels of self-awareness to build a rock-solid foundation for your relationship with self. If you have an interest in partnering in the future, you’ll also discover how to do so in a way that allows you to remain true to your self. Here you’ll uncover:

• Clarity in defining your desires

• How your attachment style has impacted your relationships

• Why you keep choosing emotionally unavailable people

• What your patterns are and how to clean up old habits

• How to manage your nervous system and heal your inner child

• The magic of doing the things you thought you needed a partner for

It’s time to move from the disempowered experience of loneliness to an empowered version of singlehood—one filled with joy, adventure, play, passion, and all the other things that you thought you had to wait for the perfect person to experience. You are that person, and that time is now.
