#874. Love isn’t about finding “the one”… it’s about finding the person who makes you more you. Mindfulness expert, author, and podcast host Case Kenny joins Kaitlyn to unpack how to approach dating and relationships with confidence, optimism, and presence.

From ghosting and scarcity mindsets to reigniting the spark after years together, Case shares practical ways to get out of autopilot and back into curiosity, playfulness, and noticing in your relationship. He explains why the promises you keep to yourself matter most, how to spot red flags early, and what it really means to “settle up” instead of settling down.

If you’ve ever wondered how to attract empowering love, how to know if it’s the right partner, or how to break free from feeling stuck — this episode will change the way you think about love.
