The Intersection of Free Will and Relationships

Dating is healing work. Kendall, Jenya & Sara explore free will, resistance, past wounds, dating apps, and self-discovery in today’s complex relationship world.

In this deeply insightful and relatable episode, Kendall Patterson is joined by Jenya and Sara for an unfiltered conversation on the emotional, spiritual, and energetic layers of modern dating.

Together, they unpack how free will, resistance, and healing show up in our love lives—and why we can’t always logic our way through emotional blocks.

From the psychology of dating apps to how past relationships shape present dynamics, this episode reveals the unseen layers that influence our choices, attractions, and avoidances.

You’ll walk away with more clarity around your dating patterns, more compassion for your triggers, and permission to honor your journey at your own pace.

This is the truth-telling we need in a world of highlight reels and ghosting.

🧠 Key Takeaways:

• Knowing your own triggers is crucial before decoding someone else's.

• Self-discovery is the real work of dating.

• We must learn to see a partner’s potential alongside their past.

• Growth in dating requires balancing inner truth with outer expectations.
