• Breaking Up With Mr. Better Than Nothing: Chapter 13

  Breaking Up with Mr. Better Than Nothing – Why You Need This Episode If you’ve ever dated someone who felt promising enough to stick around even when the red flags were waving… this episode is for you. We break down a real relationship timeline so you can recognize the exact moments things shift from exciting to exhausting — and learn how to pivot sooner next time. Cupid showed up, the texts sparkled, and the chemistry felt easy—until the small tells started stacking up. We share a true dating story that begins with a glittering reconnection and veers into a tour of red flags: venue choices that miss the mark, a harsh snap at strangers that reveals character, grand declarations too early, then silence when it matters. The ride is funny, messy, and painfully familiar to anyone who’s been love-bombed, breadcrumbed, or nudged into the caretaker role before the relationship ever had roots. As we walk through the timeline—from an “epic” wedding meet-cute to an OKCupid rematch, from a chaotic holiday bar scene to a broken arm that flips romance into housework—we unpack how social proof can lower your guard and how mixed signals can chip away at self-worth. You’ll hear the golden rule that never fails in dating: watch how they treat service staff and unexpected guests. You’ll also hear the moment the power shifts back: no more waiting by the phone, a night out that rekindles confidence, and the clarity to name what’s actually happening—a situationship with one driver and no room for your voice. This conversation blends story and strategy so you leave with a practical toolkit: how to spot unintentional daters, how to separate charm from character, and how to protect your time with clean boundaries. We keep it real, we keep it human, and yes, we laugh at the clown car along the way. If you’re tired of “better than nothing,” press play, reclaim your standards, and choose the quieter path of self-respect over the noisy comfort of chaos. You’ll learn: • Why chemistry shouldn’t be confused with compatibility• How social proof and love-bombing can make you ignore your intuition• The subtle behavior clues that reveal character• What breadcrumbing and caretaker-dynamics look like in real time• How to reclaim your power when communication becomes one-way• Boundary scripts to protect your time, energy, and self-worth Connect + Join the CommunityInstagram@kerry_bretthttps://www.instagram.com/kerry_brett@shotatlovepodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/shotatlovepodcast Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/kerrybrett LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kerry-brett Substack – Shot at Love: The Edithttps://shotatlove.substack.com Get the bookShot@Love: A Celebrity Photographer’s Unfiltered Lens on Dating and Finding Lovehttps://www.shotatlovebook.com If this episode resonates with you, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs a reminder of her standards, and leave a review with your top red-flag rule.

• The Tinder Highway On Route to the Bittersweet Motel: Chapter 12

  This episode follows a winding road from mantras and angel numbers to a surprising Tinder reunion that reopens old memories and reveals hard truths about trust, red flags, and values. Trust—not trying harder—becomes the real compass in dating, and 222 serves as a reminder to slow down and practice patient awareness. Nostalgia collides with present-day realities as Boston’s social energy masks a poor fit, and Jonathan’s candid warning becomes a pivotal values check. A serendipitous moment with Fishman’s mom reassures me that when we’re paying attention, the universe delivers the clarity we need. Through caregiving challenges, ghosting, and even street harassment, resilience rises — leading to a powerful promise: Listen sooner. Set boundaries. Choose self-respect. If you’re rebuilding after heartbreak, this chapter reminds you that every sign points you forward.

• I Surrender; Finding a Path Forward to Love: Chapter 11

  Tune into Chapter 11, I Surrender; Finding a Path Forward to Love, a favorite for those having a hard time. Heartbreak can feel like quicksand, but there’s a way to stop sinking. I share how surrender—real acceptance, not resignation—becomes a daily practice that steadies the mind, restores self-respect, and turns pain into a teacher. From the serenity prayer to the mantra sarvesham svastir bhavatu, I unpack simple rituals that anchor your nervous system when grief and rumination try to take over. I walk through the five stages of grief in the context of narcissistic dynamics, making space for the messy parts—denial that kept you safe, anger that needs clean outlets, bargaining that blurs reality, depression that asks for gentle structure, and acceptance that finally loosens the knot. With insights from Kute Blackson’s The Magic of Surrender, I flip the script: a relationship can end and still be a success if it helped you grow into a truer version of yourself. That reframe moves you from searching with scarcity to meeting love with grounded presence. Stories power change, so we spotlight courage in action. Tina Turner’s night of escape and reinvention shows how one decisive step can reset a life. Dolly Parton’s publishing stand models boundaries, patience, and long-view faith. These examples prove that small steps compound—blocking a number, archiving old photos, taking a quiet walk instead of doom-scrolling—until momentum returns. We close with practical guidance to drop the bag of bricks, set clear boundaries, and trust that peace is possible when you stop pushing and start showing up as yourself. If this conversation helped you breathe a little easier, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs strength today, and leave a quick review so others can find it. Your story might be the spark someone else is waiting for.
