Dené Logan joins Sabrina in a thought-provoking conversation about what settling is and what it can look like in relationships. They talk about how important it is to  understand ourselves as souls when choosing partners. Dené challenges the common belief that being uncoupled is the worst outcome, arguing instead that relationships should add to our lives and not be driven by societal conditioning.

Sabrina and Dené delve into the energies of masculinity and femininity, emphasizing that these are energies, not rigid identities, and that real connection comes from understanding and humanizing one another. Dené stresses that relationships need inspiration, respect, and a shared vision to thrive, and Sabrina adds that we shouldn't expect to change someone into our ideal partner.

They both highlight the need for a community-based approach to relationships, where the pressure to stay partnered is lessened, allowing for a healthier, more balanced connection. Through their insights, Dené and Sabrina encourage listeners to reflect on whether they are truly showing up in their relationships or merely outsourcing our power to make themselves more comfortable.

Today Sabrina discusses the pivotal six-month mark in relationships, when things shift from the honeymoon phase into a deeper, more stable phase of connection. At this point, dopamine levels balance out, and oxytocin shifts, often turning spontaneity into predictability. This is when core values and life goals start to surface, and it’s important to recognize that a relationship might not work out if there’s a fundamental mismatch between you and your partner. 

By this stage, communication should be clear and consistent, and both partners should feel comfortable expressing their needs, whether it’s a desire for reassurance or a different approach to communication. Sabrina shares how conversations surrounding intimacy, conflict, and boundaries should be happening more naturally, as should talking about issues like differing sex drives or personal preferences. Emotional safety becomes a priority, with vulnerability and mystery coexisting in a healthy balance. 

At this stage, green flags include clear communication, emotional safety, and shared long-term goals, while red flags include avoiding conflict or being overly controlling. As relationships deepen, it’s also time to discuss practical matters like finances, living together, and balancing individuality with togetherness. Sabrina emphasizes that a relationship should not feel rushed and that it’s important to take the time to truly understand each other, address issues thoughtfully, and ensure mutual investment in the relationship.

Sabrina, alongside her guest Vanessa Bennett, dives deep into the complexities of the “not enough” wound and its impact on attachment styles, hyper-independence, and relationships. Vanessa, a Holistic Psychotherapist, shares insights from her professional and personal journey, highlighting how societal conditioning often instills feelings of unworthiness. 

Sabrina and Vanessa explore how hyper-independence and codependency are two sides of the same coin, both rooted in attempts to soothe the worthiness wound in different ways. Sabrina draws from her own experiences, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, setting boundaries, and embracing discomfort as essential steps in healing. 

The conversation touches on the interplay between emotional unavailability and intimacy, as well as the role of micro-moments in building a solid sense of self. They also discuss the nuances of conflict resolution, effective communication, and creating safe relationships that foster growth. Sabrina and Vanessa encourage listeners to navigate their healing journeys with intention and compassion.

In a conversation with Sabrina, Mark Manson shares insights on navigating relationships from the perspective of an avoidantly attached individual. Drawing from his 12-year marriage, Mark emphasizes the importance of open communication and realistic expectations, especially in long-distance relationships. He advises having clear end goals and intentional conversations about logistics and contact frequency to maintain connection. 

Diving into Mark’s own avoidant tendencies, he and Sabrina explain how avoidance often stems from fear rather than lack of care or feelings. Mark highlights the significance of allowing space in relationships and how his wife’s patience helped him transition from avoidant to secure attachment. For anxious partners, they stress the need to become comfortable with an avoidant partner’s need for space, noting that healing happens through gradual trust-building. 

Sabrina and Mark agree that understanding different standards and managing expectations are crucial for relationship success. Mark also touches on societal pressures, self-improvement, and the importance of addressing negative self-talk through journaling and mindfulness. Ultimately, they emphasize that thriving in life and love is about embracing challenges and fostering meaningful connections through honesty and self-awareness.

Today Sabrina is talking about the 3-6 month mark in dating. This is an important time, and often the transition out of the honeymoon phase. This period reveals reality as dopamine-induced excitement fades, making it crucial to evaluate compatibility and address emerging dynamics. 

Sabrina encourages slowing down to regulate your nervous system and build trust gradually. This is the time to assess how your partner responds to your needs, communicate triggers, and explore values versus surface-level traits. Power struggles, doubts, and fears are normal as you recognize both strengths and flaws in each other. 

Sabrina highlights the importance of healthy confrontation, using curiosity instead of defensiveness, and understanding red flags like disrespect or avoidance. She advises setting boundaries, meeting families, and imagining a future together if the relationship feels aligned. 

Above all, Sabrina urges self-compassion, self-awareness, and a commitment to authenticity, reminding you that a healthy relationship starts with you and your willingness to engage with intention and courage.

Whether single or in a relationship, healing is a deeply personal journey. Today, Sabrina and guest Samm Murphy emphasize the importance of curiosity, self-awareness, and connection throughout the process. 

Sabrina highlights how being single can create space for self-discovery, allowing individuals to break habitual patterns and focus on their inner child work. Samm shares that while healing in a relationship adds complexity, it also offers unique opportunities for growth through triggers and mutual support. They agree that healing isn’t about reaching a final destination but embracing a continuous process where triggers become opportunities to evolve. 

Sabrina and Samm discuss how relationships can provide evidence to counter negative core beliefs, fostering change when both partners are committed to growth. They underscore the importance of communication and aligning on values, emphasizing that understanding a partner’s unique needs while staying true to oneself is vital. For those single and healing, Sabrina advises recognizing patterns and shifting beliefs, while Samm encourages curiosity about what triggers anxiety and exploring new behaviors. 

Together, they stress that relationships require intentional effort, appreciation, and a shared vision, creating an environment where both individuals can continue to heal and thrive. Whether single or partnered, Sabrina and Samm advocate for compassion, openness, and the courage to embrace imperfection as integral to the healing journey.

Welcome to part 2 of this series, in this episode, Sabrina dives into the 1-3 month stage of dating, where deeper emotions and unexpected triggers often emerge. She emphasizes the importance of self-trust and self-regulation, explaining that dating anxiety is natural but should be managed with tools like grounding exercises and clear communication.

Sabrina advises acknowledging your triggers without projecting them onto your partner, instead taking the opportunity to explore them personally. Practicing boundaries and fostering self-regulation are key—rather than seeking constant validation, work on inner resilience. Sabrina stresses that anxious daters need to reframe their responses to uncertainties, understanding that not every unmet expectation is a crisis.

At two to three months, it's appropriate to discuss exclusivity and shared values, as consistency and emotional availability become essential. Sabrina encourages being honest about needs and expectations while allowing space for the relationship to develop naturally.

Sabrina welcomes Joe Nucci to discuss dating and relationship dynamics, starting with the misconception that location is the root of dating struggles. Joe notes that while cities like New York and Colorado have distinct dating cultures, true obstacles often stem from avoidance and unresolved personal issues. 

They explore how self-acceptance bridges awareness and healing, stressing that dating is a skill, and choosing openness is key. They highlight the difference between connection and attachment, explaining that safety and validation deepen attraction. True growth, they agree, comes from intentional communication and addressing underlying issues in relationships.

Dating can be emotionally intense, even for those who've worked on themselves. Sabrina explains that dating triggers are normal, but trusting your instincts is crucial. Building a healthy relationship takes patience, self-awareness, and emotional regulation. Distinguish between anxiety (which spirals) and intuition (which feels calm).

Set boundaries, stick to routines, and invest your emotions wisely. To manage overthinking, try journaling and mindfulness. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy can help break negative thought patterns. Stay present, be vulnerable without seeking validation, and take things slow. Focus on self-awareness and self-trust for a healthy start.

In this episode, Masha joins Sabrina to dive into why so many struggle to see real progress in their healing journeys. They explore how lasting change starts with radical accountability and self-regulation—shifting away from seeking external validation and advice.

Masha and Sabrina discuss how true growth means taking responsibility without self-blame, focusing on self-awareness and setting realistic expectations. They explain the importance of regulating the nervous system, responding mindfully rather than reacting impulsively, especially in relationships. Together, they emphasize engaging authentically with your inner child and building grounding practices that align with your needs.

Healing, they argue, isn’t about chasing new strategies but using the resources you already have to foster an empowered foundation for personal and relational growth.
