[Free Workshop] Chemistry vs Compatibility: How to Tell the Difference

Online event

A live workshop for thoughtful daters who want real connection — not confusion, mixed signals, or “maybes.”

**Is this you?**

* Tired of gray areas, situationships, or unreciprocated effort
* Wondering if someone’s emotionally available — or just saying the right things
* Telling yourself “I *should* feel something” but deep down, you’re unsure
* Always replaying conversations, trying to figure out what’s *real*

**In this 90-minute workshop, you’ll learn how to:**

* Recognize emotional availability — in yourself *and* others
* Notice red and green flags early (even subtle ones)
* Stop overfunctioning and doing all the emotional work
* Ask better questions that reveal alignment (or misalignment)
* Get unstuck from “what if” thinking and feel more confident moving forward

**What the workshop includes:**

* Guided reflection exercises to help you process what *you* need
* Real examples and prompts you can apply immediately
* Scripts and reframes to reduce overthinking and overgiving
* A private, supportive space (not recorded — come as you are)
