Solo Dating in a Relationship: Keep Your Identity & Joy (PDF Guide)

Who it's for
Anyone in a committed relationship — whether you've been together six months or twenty years — who wants to keep a strong sense of self without pulling away from their partner.

Stay yourself. Keep the spark.

Somewhere between "we" and "us," your own hobbies, friends, and free time can quietly shrink. Solo Dating in a Relationship shows you how to take yourself out on purpose, do something you enjoy, and come back more present, more relaxed, and more like you. It also gives you the words to talk about it with your partner without guilt or drama.
