In this episode…
Cathy Vartuli, who didn’t date for 13 years because she’s a 320 pound woman who was afraid to get rejected for her weight, shares her story of transformation in this interview. She did a session with an expert and two weeks later she was dating and has been on hundreds of dates since.
She says: “I had all the fears about how I looked. As I worked through it, I realised all of us have insecurities. And that was a big A-HA moment. I thought I was the only person in the world that felt awkward and out of place and everybody else was fine. Because I can’t see in other people’s heads, I had this belief that they had it all together and it was just me that’s messed up. When I started letting go of that enough to get closer to people I realised everybody feels awkward.”
And she also shares:
-How much self acceptance has to do with dating
-What she did to make dating safe for herself and how you can make it safe and fun
-How to take the pressure off dating

Quoting Cathy:
“I’ve learned to accept myself. This is who I am and this is who I get to be. And I get to live my life. I didn’t want to wake up at the end of my life and go “where did my life go?”. I wanted to start living it now. And the only way to do that is to start accepting yourself where you are right now, with your anxiety, with your awkwardness.”
