If you've ever found yourself rereading his last text for the fourteenth time trying to decode whether "haha" means he's interested or done — this episode is for you. The talking stage is genuinely undefined, unanchored, and anxiety-producing. And when things feel uncertain, overthinking rushes in to fill the gap. Today I'm giving you two practical tools to help you stop the spiral, guard your heart, and stop spending your peace on someone who may not even deserve your attention. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ● Why the talking stage produces so much anxiety (and why you're not overreacting) ● How to build your "My Non-Negotiables" list before feelings take over ● The one thing that tells you more about a guy than anything he ever texts you ● A simple 2-week tool to cut through all the noise ● What the Bible says about guarding your heart in uncertain seasons

You don't have to be a detective, doll. You just need a little clarity and a little patience — and this episode will walk you through both.
