BURLEIGH HEADS, Queensland, July 15, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) โ If dating feels like one big performance review and youโre constantly trying to prove youโre good enough, this book is your permission slip to stop. Meet โStop Hating Dating, Start Being Youโ (ISBN: 978-1834182261) โ the bold and brutally honest read from Gold Coastโbased author Sarah van Eck, which is not just shaking up the dating world but also questioning the way feminism has shaped modern love.

This isnโt your average dating guide. Itโs raw, real, and laugh-out-loud relatable โ a wake-up call for women caught between independence and intimacy in a world that promised equality but forgot about love.
โIf youโre an independent woman and you like to be in control, you donโt want to be swept off your feet. You think not doing it yourself impacts your worth,โ Sarah explains.
โOur feminist progression has us steadfast in the need for equality. We wanted to have options; we wanted to show that we were more than the roles cast for us. We wanted liberation from โsecond placeโ in the home. But many women are now in a position where we are not only expected to provide, we are no longer looked after.โ
โYou donโt need to be more perfect. You need to be more you,โ Sarah says. โBe wacky, be different, and most importantly, have needs. Psychologically, women need men to be providing for them in some way to feel cared for. The man who wants to be with you, wants to meet your needs!โ
Part juicy memoir, part psychological glow-up, โStop Hating Dating, Start Being Youโ is for every woman whoโs ever cried over a man who couldnโt text back but still liked her Instagram story.
Therapists and wellness experts are already obsessed:
โThis book feels like the honest, hilarious conversation I wish Iโd had with my best friend at sixteen.โ โ Katherine Haag, Wellness Consultant & Trauma-Informed Counsellor
โWith raw honesty, empowering wisdom and humour, Sarah reminds us that the most important love story weโll ever live is the one we write for ourselves.โ โ Georgie Williams, Psychologist
Sarah van Eck dove into the psychology behind why so many women feel โnot enoughโ in love after her life-altering eating disorder diagnosis forced her to stop people-pleasing and corporate grinding.
She blends mindset reframes and psychological research with her own colourful dating history to help others finally date with self-respect.
