If you’ve ever felt like you’re too much in a relationship while your partner seems emotionally unavailable, you’re not alone. The anxious-avoidant dynamic is one of the most common (and frustrating) relationship patterns—but is it doomed, or can it actually work?

In this episode, Jimmy Knowles (@jimmy_on_relationships) joins Sabrina Zohar to break down the push-pull dynamic between anxious and avoidant partners. Both Jimmy and Sabrina lean anxious, while their partners are avoidant—so they get the struggles firsthand.

🔹 Why do avoidants pull away, and what are they really thinking?

🔹 How does anxious attachment lead to self-sabotage?

🔹 Can anxious-avoidant relationships actually thrive?

🔹 The key to breaking toxic cycles and building real trust

They unpack how early childhood experiences shape attachment, why anxious partners tend to people-please into resentment, and how avoidants often withdraw not out of rejection—but out of self-protection. Plus, they reveal the mindset shifts needed to stop chasing, start connecting, and build a relationship where both people feel safe.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in an emotional rollercoaster, this episode is for you. 🎢

Ever found yourself obsessing over someone who’s hot and cold, questioning every text, and feeling anxious when they pull away? That’s not connection—it’s attachment. In this episode Sabrina breaks down the key differences between attachment and genuine connection in dating.

You’ll learn why attachment is rooted in fear and the need for validation, while real connection thrives on authenticity and emotional safety. Discover how inconsistent communication triggers dopamine-driven obsession, and why the people who leave you spiraling aren’t the ones you’re truly connected to.

Sabrina shares actionable strategies to shift from anxious attachment to grounded self-trust. Instead of overanalyzing or chasing closure, you’ll learn how to self-soothe, focus on your own needs, and build connections based on consistency—not intensity.

Press play to reclaim your peace, recognize the red flags of attachment, and start dating from a place of self-worth. This episode is your guide to breaking free from the cycle of obsession and finding real, lasting connection.

Why is it so damn hard to stop thinking about an ex? In this episode, Sabrina sits down with breakup coach Kendra Allen to get real about the obsessive thoughts, shame, and emotional spirals that keep you stuck. They break down why no contact isn’t just a rule—it’s a lifeline for breaking toxic thought loops and reducing anxiety.

You’ll learn why missing someone doesn’t mean they’re right for you, how to process resentment when they move on first (without doom-scrolling their socials), and why some breakup questions will never be answered—but that’s okay. Plus, Kendra shares her go-to strategy for letting go of anger (hint: it involves a “screw you” letter).

If you’re ready to stop waiting for time to heal you and actually move forward, hit play. 🚀
