Welcome to part 2 of this series, in this episode, Sabrina dives into the 1-3 month stage of dating, where deeper emotions and unexpected triggers often emerge. She emphasizes the importance of self-trust and self-regulation, explaining that dating anxiety is natural but should be managed with tools like grounding exercises and clear communication.

Sabrina advises acknowledging your triggers without projecting them onto your partner, instead taking the opportunity to explore them personally. Practicing boundaries and fostering self-regulation are key—rather than seeking constant validation, work on inner resilience. Sabrina stresses that anxious daters need to reframe their responses to uncertainties, understanding that not every unmet expectation is a crisis.

At two to three months, it's appropriate to discuss exclusivity and shared values, as consistency and emotional availability become essential. Sabrina encourages being honest about needs and expectations while allowing space for the relationship to develop naturally.

Sabrina welcomes Joe Nucci to discuss dating and relationship dynamics, starting with the misconception that location is the root of dating struggles. Joe notes that while cities like New York and Colorado have distinct dating cultures, true obstacles often stem from avoidance and unresolved personal issues. 

They explore how self-acceptance bridges awareness and healing, stressing that dating is a skill, and choosing openness is key. They highlight the difference between connection and attachment, explaining that safety and validation deepen attraction. True growth, they agree, comes from intentional communication and addressing underlying issues in relationships.

Dating can be emotionally intense, even for those who've worked on themselves. Sabrina explains that dating triggers are normal, but trusting your instincts is crucial. Building a healthy relationship takes patience, self-awareness, and emotional regulation. Distinguish between anxiety (which spirals) and intuition (which feels calm).

Set boundaries, stick to routines, and invest your emotions wisely. To manage overthinking, try journaling and mindfulness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can help break negative thought patterns. Stay present, be vulnerable without seeking validation, and take things slow. Focus on self-awareness and self-trust for a healthy start.

In this episode, Masha joins Sabrina to dive into why so many struggle to see real progress in their healing journeys. They explore how lasting change starts with radical accountability and self-regulation—shifting away from seeking external validation and advice.

Masha and Sabrina discuss how true growth means taking responsibility without self-blame, focusing on self-awareness and setting realistic expectations. They explain the importance of regulating the nervous system, responding mindfully rather than reacting impulsively, especially in relationships. Together, they emphasize engaging authentically with your inner child and building grounding practices that align with your needs.

Healing, they argue, isn’t about chasing new strategies but using the resources you already have to foster an empowered foundation for personal and relational growth.

In this solo episode, Sabrina emphasizes the importance of communicating needs and navigating conflict in relationships. She wants individuals to trust themselves and be honest, even when difficult conversations feel uncomfortable. A challenge many face is overcoming core belief and facing fear of abandonment or rejection, which often leads people to avoid addressing their concerns. Sabrina explains that using your voice is crucial because your partner should want to hear your opinions and understand your needs. Effective communication involves setting boundaries, using “I” statements, and addressing behaviors rather than criticizing character to foster healthier dialogue. She highlights the toxic effects of contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling, which can undermine trust and connection, and encourages couples to actively listen, stay curious, and be consistent in communication. Sabrina advises addressing issues in person rather than over text, being specific and direct about your needs, and choosing the right time for discussions to avoid escalating conflict. She also notes the importance of repairing conflict rather than just avoiding it, as healthy relationships are built on the ability to repair and grow through challenges, not simply on the absence of conflict. Ultimately, Sabrina believes that navigating conflict with openness and honesty strengthens the bond between partners.

In today’s conversation, Quinlan and Sabrina talk about situationships, self-love, and self-trust. A situationship is defined in this conversation as an undefined, noncommittal relationship where one person desires more commitment than the other. Sabrina shares her personal experiences with situationships, highlighting the lessons she learned, such as the critical role of communication and how past emotional suppression from childhood influenced her approach to dating. Quinlan emphasizes the importance of self-love, explaining that you can’t fully share yourself with others until you love and respect yourself first. They discuss the need to set boundaries and have the courage to leave situations that don’t serve you, trusting yourself to make the right decisions. The conversation also touches on toxic relationships and how they can feel familiar or even appealing, especially when they reaffirm unhealthy core beliefs. Quinlan and Sabrina agree that true growth comes from valuing yourself, recognizing your worth, and committing to personal development. Exiting a situationship requires reclaiming your power, shifting the narrative, and focusing on your own journey rather than on the other person. Ultimately, self-love and self-trust involve validating your emotions, forgiving yourself for past mistakes, and making choices that align with your own well-being. By prioritizing these aspects, you can navigate relationships with greater clarity and confidence.

Dr. Scott Lyons joins Sabrina to discuss the high highs and low lows of dating, focusing on the addiction to drama in relationships. He and Sabrina explore how unresolved trauma can lead to seeking emotionally unavailable partners or chaotic relationships, mirroring past experiences. They highlight how many people are drawn to emotional intensity, mistaking it for love, and how this creates a cycle of self-abandonment, as individuals chase someone else’s emotional rollercoaster instead of staying grounded in themselves. Trauma often causes people to confuse present and past experiences, making it difficult to separate healthy dynamics from old emotional patterns. Scott emphasizes that healing begins when the red flags of chaotic relationships no longer feel attractive. He also introduces the concept of "memory spread," where past emotional triggers amplify reactions in the present, causing unnecessary tension. Sabrina and Scott discuss the importance of co-regulating with a partner, articulating needs before stress builds, and learning to enjoy the calm and stability that healthy love brings. Scott notes that for some, calmness may feel unsafe, as they are habituated to chaos and seek it out to fill their anxiety. Ultimately, Sabrina and Scott both agree that true connection is built on curiosity and communication, and that chasing emotional intensity—like butterflies or drama—keeps individuals from experiencing the deeper, more stable intimacy of a healthy relationship.

Sabrina and Silvy sit down to discuss what can cause the tendency to chase potential in relationships and put partners on pedestals. They offer practical tips for managing these patterns. Silvy, a relationship coach, reflects on her own journey with fearful-avoidant attachment after a long-term relationship, explaining how unresolved childhood trauma led her to project insecurities and set unrealistic standards. She and her husband learned to recognize their vulnerabilities and communicate better, a skill crucial for those in anxious-avoidant dynamics. Sabrina and Silvy emphasize that placing someone on a pedestal, which is linked to attachment wounds, prevents true intimacy by idealizing a partner and avoiding vulnerability. They explain that this behavior can stem from childhood but becomes harmful in adult relationships, blocking authentic connection. To overcome this, look at relationships objectively, understanding your emotional needs, and communicating honestly, ensuring that your attachment style and role in the dynamic align with healthy, balanced intimacy.

In a special 100th episode, Sabrina dives into imposter syndrome, surrendering to the process, and the importance of betting on yourself. She shares her personal journey of hitting rock bottom and realizing she wasn’t taking control of her life, focusing too much on external validation.  Sabrina discusses how imposter syndrome, often rooted in perfectionism and fear of rejection, can hinder progress. She stresses the importance of self-compassion and setting personal goals. Sabrina emphasizes the need to show your true self, rather than pretending to be what others expect.  Mindfulness and meditation can aid in managing thoughts and reducing anxiety, allowing individuals to return to themselves. By cultivating self-efficacy, setting small goals, and using affirmations, Sabrina talks about betting on yourself and taking risks, no matter how small, trusting that you already have the internal tools to achieve your goals. Ultimately, the journey is about how you navigate challenges, not avoid them, and recognizing that every experience shapes who you are today.

Shaun Galanos, a love coach, joins Sabrina to discuss the importance of authenticity, curiosity, and open communication in dating, especially regarding sexual health. He encourages people to stop playing games and be honest about their feelings. Shaun and Sabrina share their personal experiences and emphasize the importance of addressing STIs early in relationships, advocating for open conversations about testing, precautions, and boundaries. They aim to remove the stigma around STIs and encourage people to be honest, allowing partners to make informed decisions. For those uncomfortable with sex before testing, they stress the importance of setting boundaries and taking responsibility for one's own health.

This week, Sabrina sits down with David Ghiyam to dive deep into the principles of Kabbalah and how it applies to personal growth and relationships. Both share personal insights, with Sabrina emphasizing that challenges are invitations to grow and expand her capacity to handle life’s difficulties. She reflects on how her own journey has pushed her to step into her power, even when it’s uncomfortable, and sees pain as a necessary part of becoming a vessel for greater things. David builds on this, explaining that Kabbalah helps people understand the root causes of pain and how it can serve as a path to transformation, rather than just reacting to it. They discuss how people often self-sabotage in relationships due to limiting beliefs, and how surrendering negativity and taking responsibility for one's own energy is key to attracting what you truly desire. Sabrina admits that fear and discomfort can sometimes hold her back, but recognizing and embracing those feelings has been essential in her growth. Together, they explore how self-awareness, making intentional choices, and seeing challenges as opportunities can shift life toward a more fulfilling, empowered reality.
