Foundations for Love: How to Date Confidently & Communicate Clearly with Hayley Quinn
Dating and communication, whether with a partner or potential partner, can feel overwhelming and confusing. But with the right tools, it can actually be empowering… and even fun!
In this episode of The Happier Life Project, we continue our mini-series on romantic relationships and mental health by focusing on one of the most important skills in love: communication.
Criticism, defensiveness, silence, or feeling misunderstood are all signs of a communication breakdown. When communication goes wrong, it can seriously impact your confidence and self-worth. In a relationship, healthy communication is essential for navigating stress, de-escalating conflict, and staying emotionally connected. To communicate well means expressing yourself in a clear, confident, constructive and respectful way. When you bring this mindset into your dating life, you can avoid unnecessary confusion and heartache.
This week’s guest is Hayley Quinn, one of the UK’s leading dating coaches for both men and women. She’s on a mission to make dating great again! In her conversation with host Gabby, Hayley shares practical advice on how to communicate when someone you’re dating goes quiet, and what to say when you want to address defining the relationship. Hayley also explains why that elusive “spark” isn’t always a reliable sign of compatibility, and how to spot when dating is being used to avoid uncomfortable emotions.
Plus, Hayley calls out the unrealistic fairy tale narratives we’ve inherited (yes, Disney, she means you) and reminds us that real love is built, not magically bestowed.
If you’re dating, thinking about dating, or simply want to become a better communicator in your relationship, this episode is packed with relatable insights and helpful advice.
