220: Love Isn’t a Hustle: Healing Unhealthy Relationship Cycles


Listen Later

I’m talking to Dr. Alexandra Solomon on this episode; one of my favorite voices on love and relationships. We’re talking about how our childhood shapes the way we love, why we’re drawn to certain relationship patterns, and what it really means to be relationally self-aware. Dr. Solomon breaks down emotional availability, the myths we believe about attraction, and why love isn’t something you fall into—it’s something you step into. This conversation is a must-listen if you want to approach relationships with more clarity, confidence, and intention.
