If you've ever found yourself lying awake replaying conversations, analysing every text message, or feeling an overwhelming wave of panic that makes you want to pull away from someone you care about — this episode is for you.

In today's episode, we're diving deep into anxiety in dating and relationships — what it looks like, why it happens, and how to begin healing it.

You'll learn:

• The hidden ways anxiety shows up in your dating life

• Why your nervous system reacts as if emotional vulnerability is a threat

• How to tell the difference between intuition and anxious overthinking

• Why the right person can help you rewire your nervous system — and the wrong person can reinforce your fears

• What it actually takes to feel safe, secure, and open in love again

Sylvia also shares a personal story about her own experience with anxiety in a healthy relationship, and how understanding her body's trauma response helped her rebuild trust and calm within herself.

This episode will help you: ✨ Understand what's happening beneath your anxious thoughts ✨ Learn how to regulate your nervous system in the moment ✨ Identify whether your relationship is healing you or hurting you ✨ Realise that you are not broken — you're healing

If you've ever thought "Why can't I just relax and enjoy dating?" — this conversation will give you clarity, compassion, and hope that you absolutely can.

Key Quotes:

"Your anxiety isn't trying to ruin your relationships — it's trying to protect you." "The goal isn't to eliminate anxiety, but to create safety so you can stay present even when it shows up." "With the right person, your nervous system learns that vulnerability can be safe."
