💌 Dating Apps Aren’t the Enemy — It’s How We Use Them
Let’s be honest: dating apps can work. But the endless texting, ghosting, and algorithmic fatigue? That’s a sign we’re using them the wrong way.
"Lessons in Love" teaches you to:
🚫 Stop staying in the texting zone for weeks
✅ Move toward real-life connection within 7–14 days
🔑 Spot real red flags — and stop rationalizing them away
📱 Use the apps with clear intentions and healthy boundaries
💡 Know what you’re looking for before getting distracted by surface-level attraction
You’ll walk away knowing how to use apps as a tool, not a trap.
Welcome to "Lessons in Love™" — A Transformational Course for Singles Who Are Ready for Real Relationships
Whether you’re exhausted from dead-end dating, burned out by endless texting, or recovering from heartbreak, you’re not alone — and more importantly, you’re not broken.
Developed using the world-renowned Gottman Method™ and facilitated by leadership coach and relationship educator Carrie from Country Cabin Retreats, this course is designed to give you the clarity, confidence, and tools you need to stop chasing love… and start attracting it.
Carrie is a professionally certified leadership coach in Calgary and the founder of Country Cabin Retreats. After navigating the emotional wreckage of her own messy divorce, she went on a mission to understand why relationships fall apart — and what makes them thrive.
She turned to the world’s top experts, including Drs. John and Julie Gottman and The Gottman Institute's Singles' Expert Stacy Hubbard, and trained in the tools that have helped thousands build emotionally intelligent partnerships based on the 50 years of research.
Today, Carrie blends science-backed relationship education, personal leadership with coaching and deep personal insight, helping singles unlearn harmful patterns and relearn how to date with clarity and courage.
Her style is warm, grounded, and no-nonsense. She’s walked the hard road — and now she’s here to walk it with you.

-
✅ How to use dating apps with intention
-

-
✅ How to stop texting and start connecting — in real life
-
✅ Your relationship history and how it’s shaped your choices

✅ Creating a real “relationship vision” so you stop settling
-

Each week, you'll walk away with:
📓 Practical tools
🧠 New insights
💬 Real-life scripts
❤️ And a deeper connection to yourself — so you can connect better with others
❤️ Who Is This Course For
This course is for you if:
✅ You’re single and open to love — but tired of wasting time
✅ You’ve tried dating apps (or are still using them), but feel stuck
✅ You want a healthy relationship, but aren’t sure how to create one
✅ You’ve been through a divorce or difficult breakup and want to rebuild smarter
✅ You’re ready to learn what the science actually says about love, connection, and compatibility
💔 Tired of Swiping but Still Single?
It’s Not Just the Apps — It’s How You’re Using Them.
💬 Sound Familiar?
-
“Dating apps feel like a full-time job with zero return.”
-
“I keep attracting emotionally unavailable people.”
-
“Why do all my relationships fizzle or fall apart?”
-
“I don’t even know what I’m doing wrong anymore.”
-
“I’ve lost confidence in myself. Maybe I’m just not cut out for love.”
You’re not alone — and you’re not the problem.
We’ve just never been taught how to date wisely, build emotional safety, and understand relationship compatibility — until now.
