Show Notes

In this powerful episode, Coach Deborah sits down with Jonathan Aslay, one of America’s leading midlife self-love and life coaches. After surviving divorce, financial collapse, and the heartbreaking loss of his 19-year-old son, Jonathan discovered a truth many of us struggle to see: Most people aren’t struggling with dating. They’re struggling with self-worth and self-love.

Jonathan shares how grief reshaped his understanding of love, why so many women date from a wounded place, and how trauma interferes with our ability to feel worthy, confident, and emotionally safe. He explains the difference between ego and love, why triggers are invitations for healing, and how to rebuild your identity after emotional chaos.

You’ll learn:

• How grief can awaken deeper self-love

• The signs you’re dating from a wounded place

• Why compatibility matters more than chemistry

• How sovereignty creates healthy relationships

• Daily self-love practices Jonathan uses to stay grounded

• Why trauma, gaslighting, and emotional abuse distort self-worth

• How gratitude and self-examination shift everything

If you’re starting over after divorce, healing from trauma, or reclaiming your voice after emotional abuse, this episode will give you tools, clarity, and comfort.
