In this episode of The Dating Diaries, Emma Shull gets honest about the patterns that keep us stuck—examining how alcohol, people-pleasing, and avoidance can quietly shape our dating lives and sense of self-worth. Reflecting on her experience with Sober October, Emma shares how stepping away from drinking revealed deeper cycles of self-sabotage and disconnection, and how learning to trust her intuition became a practice in saying no—on dates, in relationships, and in life. This episode isn’t about perfection or quick fixes; it’s an invitation to notice the loops you’re in, question what’s no longer serving you, and consider what it might look like to choose yourself, even when it’s uncomfortable.
