"Don't do anything out of guilt, shame or obligation." – Stefanos Sifandos

In this deep, raw, and healing episode, I sit down with Stefanos Sifandos, a relationship coach, speaker, and trauma-informed mentor to high-performing women and couples. Stef shares his personal transformation story from sex addiction and destructive cycles to emotional mastery and conscious leadership.

We explore why high-achieving women often struggle in relationships, how unresolved childhood wounds affect adult connection, and what it takes to heal, grow, and communicate with real presence. Stef breaks down the red flags in dating and business, the truth behind hookup culture, and how to build love that lasts.

This conversation is for anyone ready to face themselves fully, love more deeply, and let go of what no longer serves.
