Deep dives

Journey to Self-Discovery

The speaker reflects on a transformative journey that began with a personal crisis involving a family member's health scare, which compelled them to seek therapy and reevaluate their mindset. This experience led to a deeper understanding of how one's perspective can shift outcomes even in dire situations. Transitioning from a fashion career to starting a clothing company and eventually launching a podcast and social media platform allowed them to channel insights from therapy into empowering others about relationships. This journey emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and accountability in personal growth.

Wouldn’t it be great if we dropped all the bullsh*t about modern dating? No more games. No more fake, flaky people. No more texting back and forth for weeks or even months only to find out you have zero chemistry when you meet up in person. No more f*cking bots and AI generated dating profiles…

Sabrina Zohar definitely thinks we can skip all of it and get right down to the fun stuff (oh yeah, baby!). All it requires is brutal honesty with yourself and the people you’re interested in. So if you can stomach that, this episode is right up your alley.

We ask Sabrina: What does your attachment style really tell you about how you should date? Are dating apps really that terrible, or can we change the way we use them to get better results? And do we have high standards, or are our expectations just too f*cking high?

And a whole lot more.

We had a lot of fun in the studio with Sabrina. I hope you enjoy it too.
