In today’s episode of Release Control, we delve into a topic that few people want to admit: many dating experiences today are not driven by love, but rather by a desire to fill a void. After a breakup or heartbreak, it’s natural to seek something new to escape loneliness, boredom, or rejection. However, when we date solely to avoid pain rather than healing from it, we find happiness, not emptiness.

We’ll explore the following key points:

- Why missing the connection after a breakup is different from missing the person.

- How loneliness can trick us into rushing into the wrong relationships.

- Signs that indicate we’re dating to fill the void rather than seeking true connection.

- The negative consequences of casual dating without serious intentions, including resentment and regret.

- How situationship’s can act as professional “void fillers,” leaving us feeling drained and unloved.

- The various unhealthy ways people attempt to fill the void, such as rebounds, casual hookups, overworking, social media validation, and reaching out to an ex.

This episode serves as a deep dive into the emotional traps people fall into after heartbreak and offers guidance on how to break free from them by confronting loneliness head-on and healing in the right way.

💬 Ask yourself: Are you dating because you’re ready, or are you afraid to sit with yourself?

🎙️ Final reminder: Healing hurts, but settling hurts forever. Choose your pain wisely.

In Episode 33 of The Release Control Podcast, we’re diving into one of the most frustrating parts of modern dating—ghosting. If you’ve ever been left on read, suddenly ignored, or had someone disappear without a word, this episode is for you. We break down exactly what ghosting is, why it happens, and how to deal with it emotionally and mentally. From dating apps to emotionally unavailable partners, ghosting has become a normalized—but damaging—part of today’s dating culture.

We’ll talk about why ghosting has become so common in a world built on convenience, fear of confrontation, and zero accountability. You'll learn the key differences between ghosting, slow fading, and someone simply losing interest—because not all exits are created equal. We’ll also explore the rise of bread crumbing, where someone gives you just enough to keep you hanging, but never commits. This episode is here to help you see through the confusion and stop blaming yourself for someone else's lack of maturity.

We also dig deep into the emotional damage ghosting causes, like self-doubt, anxiety, and the trauma of unfinished conversations. More importantly, I’ll show you how to mentally take your power back—from journaling, to reframing the rejection, to cutting off the illusion completely. If you’ve ghosted someone yourself, we talk about how to own it, grow from it, and never repeat that pattern again.

This episode gives you the tools to spot red flags early, protect your peace, and move forward with confidence. Because ghosting says more about them than it ever did about you. You deserve clarity, not confusion—and closure, even if it comes from within. Whether you’re healing from ghosting or trying to avoid falling into the trap again, this episode is full of insight, perspective, and real talk you won’t hear anywhere else.
