Is He Worthy of Your Time? Red Flags, Real Love & Dating After Divorce with Dave McLachlan
#56. The chemistry is real. But is the future you imagine together real, too?
When you’re beginning again after heartbreak or divorce, a new connection can feel like a fresh start. But how do you recognise genuine compatibility? How do you stay open to love while protecting your time, your peace and the woman you’ve worked so hard to become?
In this episode of Rise of the Queen Phoenix, Juliana De Souza welcomes Dave McLachlan, relationship coach, author and creator of Is He Worthy? and the W.O.R.T.H.Y. Method, for an honest conversation about choosing a partner with greater clarity and self-trust.
Together, we explore:• Chemistry versus compatibility—and falling for someone’s potential.• Recognising red flags before becoming deeply invested.• Why consistent actions matter more than beautiful promises.• Setting boundaries and honouring your non-negotiables.• Dating after divorce without losing yourself.• How Dave’s W.O.R.T.H.Y. Method approaches relationship assessment.
If you’ve ever explained away someone’s behaviour, waited for them to change or wondered whether you were asking for too much, this conversation invites you to pause and ask:
“Is this relationship worthy of my time—and the life I am rebuilding?”
You deserve room for love, connection and a future in which you can be fully yourself.

Trying to Control the Uncontrollable: Let Go Without Giving Up
#55. How much of your peace have you spent trying to make life go according to plan?
An internet outage. A cancelled interview. A relationship that ends. A job that changes overnight. Some disruptions are small; others reshape our lives. Each can leave us struggling with the distance between what we expected and what actually happened.
In this episode of Rise of the Queen Phoenix, Juliana de Souza explores the exhaustion of trying to control what lies beyond our reach—and how we can begin to let go while still taking responsibility for our next step.
An honest conversation about disappointment, uncertainty, and choosing where to put your energy when life refuses to follow your script.
You don’t have to like what happened to decide how you move forward.
🎧 Listen, reflect, and share with someone carrying the weight of things they cannot change.
