in good company's Dating Differently
An 8-Day Reset for People Ready to refresh the way they date
If you’ve been dating on autopilot— hoping something finally clicks,
wondering if it’s you or the culture,or feeling tired of repeating patterns you thought you’d already outgrown—
this is your pause button.
Not to fix you.
Not to make you “better.”
But to help you slow down, tell the truth, and realign how you date—so your choices actually reflect what you want.
This is a reset for people who are done performing, overthinking, or pushing themselves through dating experiences that don’t feel good—and are ready to date with clarity, self-trust, and intention.
This is for you if:
You’re burnt out from dating, or considering dating again, and want to do it differently this time
You’ve done “the work,” but still feel unsure how to apply it in real dating situations
You want to feel grounded and confident — not anxious, reactive, or attached to outcomes
You’re craving structure, reflection, and momentum without overwhelm
You want to trust yourself again when it comes to attraction, pacing, and choice
You don’t need to be actively dating right now.
You just need to be ready to pay attention.
THE FLOW
Day 1 — Noticing Your Tendencies & Energy
Bring awareness to how you show up in dating — without judgment.
Day 2 — The Self-Audit
Name what’s actually working (and what isn’t) so you can stop guessing.
Day 3 — Defining Your Values
Clarify what truly matters so attraction and compatibility stop getting confused.
Day 4 — Making Dating Doable
Design a dating rhythm that fits your real life — not an idealized version of you.
Day 5 — Pre-Date Rituals & Good Energy
Learn how to arrive grounded, present, and unattached to outcomes.
Day 6 — Pacing Intimacy & Dating with Intention
Practice discernment instead of urgency or avoidance.
Day 7 — Reflecting After Date One
Build the skill of clean reflection instead of spiraling or over-romanticizing.
Day 8 — Neutrality & Emotional Maturity
Leave with tools that help you respond — not react — moving forward.

She sent me a sweet update on Christmas.
Moments like this never get old.
What I love most is hearing from clients who aren’t just hoping for love—but who are actively opening themselves up to it. Becoming more available. More honest. More grounded. And naturally attracting connection that leads to committed, exclusive relationships.
That’s the work.
Not forcing chemistry—making space for it.
What You’ll Walk Away With
Greater clarity about who you’re compatible with
More confidence in your decisions
Less anxiety around dating outcomes
Stronger self-trust
A grounded framework you can return to again and again
This is about dating from choice, not confusion.

what folks have said:
Thank you for holding space for us. This experience has been meaningful, and I'm excited to see what might come next.
I'm a pretty intentional person, but your prompts are so thoughtful, I realize how much I'd been going off of vibes and instinct. Which I'd like to rely on a little less.
I've already told three people about pacing intimacy, each of whom need to know about it as badly as me.
I was quite reluctant to think about putting myself back out there a week ago. But I've learned so much in the last few days that I'm actually excited at the thought of trying to meet someone now!
I've learned so much over these seven days, about myself, my patterns, and what I truly want in a relationship and community.
My view of dating has shifted, namely how I show up...wanting to bring more of my good energy than wait to show it when things feel like they are moving along. I think there is power in showing that and scooting a long if its not reciprocated.
Sarah says
"I just keep walking away from these exercises with "I have power. I have control." which is so the opposite of my childhood and upbringing and young dating life and it's making me cry again. I'm still totally 100% great if a partner never happens for me but I haven't been even remotely hopeful or even curious about dating for a long time and I am now and that is kind of lovely."
"It’s less that my views on dating changed and more that my view on ME continues to change. I am in control. I have so much power. And taking my time is my friend."
"I feel more confident and in control, I feel like I have a different perspective on dating now. I feel like pressure has lifted and it’s okay to go slow and be myself.
I’m fascinated by everything in this course.
For me this course has not just been about relationships, It’s about working on myself. I want to be the best partner I can be to someone out there. but to get there, I feel like we really have to put the work in, and this course just reiterates that.
Thank you Rachel, for opening my mind, opening my heart, opening my soul to all this wonderful insight and education! I am excited to keep learning and growing!"
