19 mei 2026 · 49 min
In this solo episode, Lindsey dives into the dating pattern so many of us secretly fall into but rarely admit: future tripping.

Why future tripping is actually rooted in neuroscience + attachment theory
Signs you’re confusing potential with reality
Why “I can change them” is often a dangerous mindset
