In this episode of Seeking True Love, I’m joined by coach Alicia Grantham of Lavender and Lemons Coaching to talk about something so many heart-led women quietly struggle with: 👉 What if I want it all—true love, kids, and a fulfilling career—and it’s “too much”? 👉 And what if love is the dream that keeps getting shoved to the bottom of the drawer? Alicia works with ambitious, full-time working moms who feel like they’ve checked all the boxes… and still don’t feel deeply fulfilled. Together, we explore how easy it is—especially for sensitive, high-achieving women and moms—to sacrifice our romantic dreams in the name of being “responsible,” “independent,” or a “good mom.” We also unpack the cultural messages that say wanting true love is “needy” or “desperate,” and why your longing for partnership is actually a valid, deeply human dream—not something to be ashamed of or push away.

Episode theme: How do you know if it’s your intuition or your anxiety talking—especially in dating? In this heart-opening conversation, Elizabeth and guest Erica Vargas (Singles & Relationships Expert; somatic/linguistic coach & certified breathwork facilitator) unpack what true intuitive clarity feels like for HSP women and how safety, turn-on, and honest communication create genuinely aligned love.

Have you ever sworn off dating, convinced real love just isn’t meant for you? In this heartfelt solo episode, Elizabeth Rave unpacks why so many highly sensitive people lose hope in love—and how to reignite your faith in partnership without abandoning your peace. You’ll discover: The key differences between choosing singleness and giving up on love Why heartbreak cuts so deeply for HSPs and how to rebuild self-trust How to stop chasing the roller-coaster of passion and find peaceful, nourishing love Ways to design a relationship that actually honors your nervous system

Certified law of attraction coach and intuitive guide Aja Daigneault joins me to unpack the witch wound, shadow work, and how HSPs can stop repeating painful dating patterns. We cover receiving (without guilt), turning “red-flag lists” into aligned desires, and calling in reciprocal, soul-nourishing love—starting with your relationship with yourself.

Elizabeth and her partner, Mike—both highly sensitive people (HSPs)—dig into what dating is like for highly sensitive men and why many HSP women overlook them. They unpack cultural “masculinity” scripts, how overstimulating environments sabotage connection, and practical ways HSP women can spot and engage with HSP men (on apps and IRL). They also draw distinctions between emotional availability, inner strength, and true vulnerability, and share gentle, real-world strategies for stretching comfort zones without tipping into overwhelm. The episode ties into Mistake #5 from Elizabeth’s free guide, 5 Dating Mistakes Every Highly Sensitive Woman Should Avoid.

In this episode of Seeking True Love, Elizabeth Rave explores what it truly means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) and why understanding this trait is essential for dating and relationships. She shares her own discovery of being highly sensitive, explains the unique strengths and challenges HSPs face, and offers practical insights on how to honor your sensitivity instead of seeing it as a flaw. You’ll learn how to navigate dating in ways that feel good for your nervous system, avoid burnout, and embrace the deep empathy, intuition, and pleasure that come with this trait.

If you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, or just exhausted by the dating process, cultivating self-awareness might be the missing piece. In this episode of Seeking True Love, Elizabeth dives into why self-awareness is essential for dating with intention — and how to start building it today. You'll learn the difference between internal and external self-awareness, how to identify your own dating patterns, and how tuning into your unconscious thoughts, feelings, and bodily cues can help you choose the right partner — instead of wasting time on ones who aren’t aligned. Elizabeth also shares powerful tools from NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and insights from psychologist Tasha Eurich’s research, including the four self-awareness archetypes. Plus, she offers practical ways to get better feedback and decode your body’s inner signals — so you can date smarter, not harder.

She breaks down the essential pieces to consider when seeking your ideal match, from relationship style and communication preferences to sexual compatibility and temperament. If you’re ready to stop chasing illusions of perfection and start building a meaningful, fulfilling love connection, this episode is for you.
