What if I told you that a 3-year-old girl πŸ‘Ά has been running your dating life? That's exactly what happened to spiritual psychologist Kelly Garnett, who just discovered that her inner toddlerβ€”still reeling from her parents' divorceβ€”had been the CEO of her romantic decisions for DECADES. πŸ’ΌπŸ’”

Picture this: Kelly's sitting across from yet another Mr. Wrong πŸ™„, wondering why she keeps attracting the same type of emotionally unavailable men. Plot twist? πŸŒͺ️ It wasn't bad luck. It was her 3-year-old self, still desperately trying to get Daddy to come home by dating men who would never truly fill the void left by his absence. πŸ”„πŸ’”

We're diving deep into Kelly's dating disaster files πŸ“πŸ’₯, including the 13-year relationship that was basically a masterclass in trauma bonding (spoiler: neither of them knew it at the time) πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«. She spills the tea β˜• on online dating adventures, the lightbulb moment that changed everything πŸ’‘, and how she went from dating to fill a void to magnetizing her actual soul mate βœ¨πŸ’•.

This isn't your typical "love yourself first" fluff. Kelly gets brutally honest about the messy, uncomfortable work of untangling childhood wounds from adult relationships πŸ§΅πŸ’”. Plus, she reveals the exact shift that transformed her from a magnet for broken boys to a beacon for authentic love πŸ§²βž‘οΈπŸ’Ž.

It's what Kelly calls "The Re-education of Love" - completely rewiring how you think about attraction, partnership, and what you actually deserve πŸŽ“πŸ’•. Now? She's on a mission to help women over 40 navigate the dating scene and find their soul mates without repeating the same painful patterns πŸ’ͺ✨.

Warning: This episode might make you question everything you thought you knew about why you're attracted to certain people. (You're welcome.) πŸ€―πŸ”
