045 Never Settle in Love - with Dr. Karin Anderson Abrell - a podcast by Ané Auret

When Karin called off her wedding at the age of 34 it was another 6 years and more heartbreak before she finally found her person -  The One she knew she was waiting for all the time she refused to settle for mediocre connection and living a life that would’ve been a lie.

After 27 years on the dating scene and now happily married, Karin encourages us to ‘make it happen’ by creating the best version of ourselves and refusing to settle in love or life.

Dr. Karin Anderson Abrell is a psychologist, author, speaker, and musician. She holds a master's degree in clinical psychology and a doctorate in developmental psychology. She spent the early portion of her career as a psychotherapist for children in Chicago's child welfare system and then stepped into academia for ten years. Her areas of expertise include identity cultivation, authenticity, dating, single living, marriage, and adult family dynamics.

Her book, Single is the New Black: Don’t Wear White ’TiI it’s Right - inspires singles to remain true to themselves as they navigate their way through the dating jungle.

You’ll hear us talk about

- the watershed moment Karin knew she couldn’t go ahead with her first marriage
- the internal and external pressures that may cause us to settle
- how she stayed patient waiting for the love she knew she wanted
- how she knew she would be ‘settling’ if she went through with her first wedding
- how do you know whether you’re settling or just being ‘realistic’?
- why do we override our instinct, our gut feeling - even if we know in our soul a person or relationship isn’t right for us?
- the strength and courage it takes to live a single and independent life while still believing in the love you want
- what if you're already in a relationship and not sure whether you're 'settling' or not - and the concept of 'not settling in marriage'
- how to transition from relationship into successful marriage

And MUCH more!

At the end of the episode Karin also shares 4 Things to Ask Yourself to Be Sure You're Not Settling  - super practical and straight forward questions to ask yourself.
