If you’re concerned you’ll never meet “The One”, read this.

Valentine’s Day is behind us and for some, this may have been a particularly triggering holiday, especially if you’re sitting with the question, “What if I never meet The One?” 

“Never mind asking the question if he’s The One… lately I’m struggling to meet ANYone. So right now what I’m really wondering is: what if I never meet The One (or anyone for that matter)? What do I do then?”

Oomph. This one’s a doozy of a question.
(I wouldn’t be surprised if maybe you even cringed reading the headline of this post?)

This thought and all of its attendant emotions can be very painful.

Let’s be honest: It’s a muddy, hard question. But what if there was gold in the mud? What if by looking at and sitting with this question there could actually be value to us and to the way we live our lives whether we’re partnered or not?

So in today’s blog post I want to get in the mud with you, share my perspective as a psychotherapist, and help you explore what this question might mean for you and the way you live your life now and moving forward. Keep reading if you, like so many others, have ever found yourself wondering, “What if I never meet The One? (or anyone for that matter.)”

I want to address this question head-on and provide you with tactical and practical reflections and exercises you can use if you are confronting this question in your own life.

Join me here to keep reading.

Warmly, Annie

What's Running Your Life?

The invisible patterns you can’t outwork…

Your LinkedIn profile tells one story. Your 3 AM thoughts tell another. If vacation makes you anxious, if praise feels hollow, if you’re planning your next move before finishing the current one—you’re not alone. And you’re *not* broken.

This quiz reveals the invisible patterns from childhood that keep you running. Why enough is never enough. Why success doesn’t equal satisfaction. Why rest feels like risk.

Five minutes to understand what’s really underneath that exhausting, constant drive.
