Jill’s Story: From Hesitant to Hopeful

Jill’s Journey: From Overthinking to Confident Connections

Before:
Jill had been single for a while, and while she was open to finding a meaningful relationship, the online dating process left her feeling drained. She was hesitant to put herself out there in the digital world and dreaded the idea of writing about herself. Every dating profile she came across felt uninspired—just a list of hobbies, generic statements, and photos that didn’t tell her anything real about the person.

When she tried writing her own profile, she struggled. How do you sound confident without bragging? How do you talk about what you want without making it sound like a job description? She wanted something real and engaging but felt stuck in the usual “I like walks on the beach and good conversation” rut.

Jill also had a habit of over-editing—she’d write, rewrite, and delete, never feeling like she got it quite right. The whole process made her want to give up before she even got started.

After:
During our session, Jill realized she didn’t have to sell herself—she just had to be herself. We focused on what made her unique, her humor, her warmth, and the little things that made her tick. Instead of worrying about what she should say, she leaned into what she actually wanted to say.

We also reframed how she saw online dating. Instead of treating her profile as an application, we thought of it as a conversation starter—something that would invite the right kind of person to connect with her.

Here’s what Jill walked away with:
