In this Healing Mindset episode, host Nazish sits down with Jonathon Aslay to unpack self-love, grief, emotional healing, and the foundation of meaningful relationships. Jonathon shares how identity loss, divorce, financial collapse, and the death of his 19-year-old son reshaped his view of love. The conversation gets practical fast. How to spot low self-worth in dating. Why blaming an ex keeps you stuck. How journaling and self-examination turn conflict into clarity. And why real confidence is vulnerability, not performance. If you’re navigating heartbreak, dating burnout, or rebuilding after loss, this episode is a no-fluff reset for emotional maturity and healthier partnership.
About the Guest :
Jonathon Aslay is a midlife dating and relationship coach and author focused on self-worth, emotional readiness, and conscious connection. His work expands beyond dating strategies into self-love as the core skill behind lasting relationships.
Key Takeaways :
Self-love is not a vibe. It’s self-worth, self-esteem, self-confidence, self-reliance, and self-discipline practiced daily.
Grief can widen your emotional capacity. It can also expose what you’ve been avoiding in yourself.
Healing rarely arrives as one big breakthrough. It’s small nervous-system shifts stacked over time.
If you blame every ex, you’re outsourcing your power. Ownership is the real glow-up.
Ask about someone’s past early. Avoidance can signal unprocessed pain and low emotional readiness.
Real confidence isn’t a highlight reel. It’s being honest about fears and needs without collapsing.
Journaling works best in two modes. The one living it and the observer watching patterns.
Build a support bench. Therapist, mentor, trusted friend. You need outside perspective to beat blind spots.
Dating works better when you remove the performance. Lead with sincerity, pace and friendship-first energy.
Gratitude is a leverage tool. It helps you extract learning instead of carrying resentment.
