- Do you feel like you won’t be fully happy until you find your soulmate? In part 1 of the Love Your Life series, Sabrina Zohar explains why waiting for a partner, a ring, or getting over a breakup before you let yourself be happy puts your whole life on hold. Whether you’re single, dating, in a relationship, or married, this episode covers loneliness, comparing yourself to other people’s highlight reels on social media, toxic positivity, and why a relationship should add to your life instead of being your whole life.
Sabrina breaks down 3 studies. The first followed 24,000 people for 15 years to see whether getting married actually makes you happier. The second found that chasing happiness can make you lonelier. The third shows what the happiest people do differently. You’ll also get a simple 10-minute Sunday tool you can start tonight to build a life you love right now, with or without a partner.

In this episode, Sabrina explains why knowing your patterns isn’t the same as breaking them, and gives you a practical plan for changing them. She covers how to catch yourself falling into old habits while it’s happening, how to calm your nervous system with “sensation without explanation” and the 90-second emotion rule, and how to stop self-abandoning in relationships that keep ending at the same point. She also answers listener questions on anxious attachment, dating avoidant partners, setting boundaries you actually keep, and how to believe that healthy, secure love really exists.
Plus, Sabrina explains how dopamine loops from social media and dating apps keep you stuck, how to cut back on screen time a little at a time without burning out, and why healthy love is less complicated than you think. She also shares her “rename the contact” tool to help you stop texting the people who keep pulling you back. If you’re ready to break toxic patterns, heal your attachment style, and build relationships that last, this one’s for you.

In this episode I get honest about people pleasing, fear of rejection, and the shame that kept me saying yes when I meant no, in dating, friendships, family, and at work. I open up about my childhood, my dad disowning me after I set a boundary, and what speaking up has cost me. We also get into the neuroscience of rejection and why it hurts like physical pain, the difference between shame, guilt, and regret, and why blame is a defense against shame.
I also answer your questions on forgiving yourself after a breakup or cheating, letting go of self-blame, and believing you’re “too much.” Then I share my tool of the week, the “actually” sentence, a simple daily practice to stop fawning, set healthy boundaries, and build self-worth one true sentence at a time. If you’ve ever shrunk yourself to keep someone in your life, this episode is for you.

It could be a father wound. Licensed psychotherapist Terri Cole, author of Father Wound, joins Sabrina to break down how an absent, emotionally unavailable, or abusive father shapes your self-worth, boundaries, attachment style, and relationships, and why calling it “daddy issues” misses the real worthiness wound underneath.
You’ll learn the signs of an unhealed father wound (perfectionism, overgiving, hypervigilance, codependency, chasing avoidant partners and friends), how repetition compulsion keeps you stuck in the same painful relationship patterns, the role a mother plays in co-wounding, and 3 questions to tell when you’re reacting from childhood trauma instead of your adult self. Plus, real steps for healing the father wound, grieving the dad you didn’t get, and finally feeling worth protecting.
