Can I date successfully after divorce?
CAN I DATE SUCCESSFULLY AFTER DIVORCE?
HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment Coach
GUEST: Bela Gandhi, Dating Coach and Founder of Smart Dating Academy
SUMMARY:
Dating and online dating after divorce can be a transformative and sometimes daunting experience. After the dissolution of a marriage, many women may find themselves venturing into new relationships without taking the time for self-reflection and growth, potentially repeating past mistakes. Healing and self-discovery are integral to successful post-divorce dating, and it’s essential to approach this journey with self-awareness and caution. While it may take time to fully embrace this new chapter, dating after divorce can lead to a fulfilling relationship and personal growth. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, your Host, Beverly Price, talks to Bela Gandhi, Dating Coach, Founder of Smart Dating Academy, and host of the Smart Dating Academy Podcast. Together, they discuss dating and online dating after divorce, smart dating, and the precautions to take when doing online dating.
Divorce doesn’t have to be a death sentence. With the right support and guidance, you can move through the process with knowledge, skills, and confidence. If you’d like to schedule a complimentary private consultation, reach out to Beverly at: https://beverly-price.as.me/Consultation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
How soon should I start dating after separation/divorce? It’s not the number of months or years that determines how soon you can start dating; it’s the amount of work you have done on yourself.
To be the kind of person you want to attract, you need to ask yourself the hard question,” Am I negative about myself?” and take action because it is the inner critic that becomes the outer critic.
Does online dating work? Online dating can work and be effective, but it’s not easy. You have to be very cautious and swipe left a lot.
If you are entering the dating world for the first time after being married for a long time, be optimistic, be smart not to get bamboozled, and if you need help, seek it out.
NOTABLE QUOTES:
People show us who they are; it is up to us to believe them. (Bela)
So often, we are focused on them rather than on ourselves, and we keep thinking about who our ideal partner is, but we need to think about who we need to become to be the kind of person that will attract that ideal partner. (Beverly)
Oxytocin is what allows us to form attachments to people. To keep yourself in safe harbors as a woman, know your powers and remember that oxytocin should only be given to people who deserve it. (Bela)
Infidelity relationships don’t stand the test of time, and the unfaithful person often repeats the same behavior when they get into another marriage. (Bela)
Be smart; don’t agree to meet somebody in a place you’re not familiar with even if they seem lovely, don’t have them pick you up, always get yourself on the date, and don’t give your personal information. Slow it down online. (Bela)
The most important decision you will ever make in your life is the person that will become rid of your pot, your husband, wife, or partner, and it’s worth investing in. (Bela)
ABOUT OUR GUEST:
Bela’s gift of helping people find love didn’t emerge until she was in college. She went to a party and met a guy who was PERFECT for a roommate, and she knew at that moment that they would get married, move to the suburbs, and have beautiful children. It took them a bit longer to be convinced, but by the end of their first week of dating, they knew it was ‘it’ and got married two years later, and now they have beautiful kids and live in the suburbs.
Bela finished college with two degrees, in Finance and German – and worked in Mergers and acquisitions for one year, and then joined her dad’s business (he made Teflon for pots and pans). In 2001, the company was bought by Akzo Nobel (the world’s largest coatings company) – and the rest of her family happily retired. She loved her work there, and they wanted her to stay forever. However, Forever ended in 2006 because she couldn’t shake the idea of building a NEW process to help people find love.
