This might be one of the most important conversations we've had about modern dating.


Global attachment expert + bestselling author Adam Lane Smith joins Krista to explain why so many people feel insecure, overwhelmed, and disconnected in relationships—and what it actually takes to build lasting trust + emotional safety.


Adam challenges some of the biggest myths we've been taught about attraction + relationships, explaining why chemistry isn't always compatibility, and why emotional safety is the foundation of lasting love.

  • The four levels of safety women need
