Still Craving Love After a Toxic Relationship? Here's Why It's Not Weakness
Why You’re Still Craving Love
(Even If You Pretend You’re Not)
Being alone isn’t always empowerment—it’s sometimes a shield.
So many of the women I work with come to me saying:
“I’m fine on my own.”
“I don’t need a man.”
“I’m thriving in my independence.”
And don’t get me wrong—I LOVE seeing women step into their power, rebuild after heartbreak, and prove to themselves that they don’t need anyone to complete them.
But here’s the thing…
That doesn’t mean you don’t want connection.
And it certainly doesn’t mean you don’t deserve it.

The Lie We Tell Ourselves
After a toxic relationship, it’s safer to tell ourselves we’re fine alone.
Why?
Because the thought of being vulnerable again, of trusting again, of letting someone in…
…it’s absolutely terrifying.
So we armour up. We push love away. We joke that “all men are wankers” and we stay stuck in cycles of self-protection that eventually start to feel like loneliness.
But What If...
What if the love you’re so scared of…
…is the very thing that helps you heal?
What if, instead of draining you, the right relationship could help you flourish?
What if you could feel safe in love again—and still hold onto your power?
You don’t need to “need” someone.
But being open to love, intimacy and deep connection? That’s not weakness. That’s courage.
