Mirror, Window, or Door? The Truth About Love, Healing & What You’re Really Looking For
Dating is hard — but protecting your peace is harder when you’re not clear on what you truly need. In this episode of Hold My Purse, I unpack the viral “Mirror, Window, Door” concept, breaking it down into real-life lessons on love, healing, and self-awareness.
Whether you’re in the dating pool, taking a break, or in a relationship, this conversation will make you pause and reflect. It’s authentic, inspiring, and packed with questions that push you to look deeper — not just at others, but at yourself.
Inspired by a TikTok that had everyone talking, I’m taking this metaphor beyond the trend to explore what it means for your personal growth, boundaries, and the choices you make in relationships.
🔑 Key Takeaways
Mirror — The people who reflect back your own growth, wounds, and patterns.
Window — The glimpse into possibility that expands your vision for love and life.
Door — The decision point: step toward something new or close it for your peace.
Why dating for peace is a radical act of self-care.
The essential questions to ask before letting someone into your life.
