This Changes Everything with Sarah Rice

In part two of this series, Sarah explores what healing actually looks like after years of living in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn mode. Why can calm feel uncomfortable? What does a regulated nervous system actually feel like? And how do you stop treating emotional chaos like chemistry? This episode breaks down the biological opposites of survival mode: rest, digest, connect, and create. Sarah also discusses boundaries, co-regulation, people pleasing, emotional safety, and how healing changes the way we experience love, conflict, and connection. If you’ve ever struggled to relax in relationships, felt emotionally addicted to inconsistency, or wondered why healthy love can feel unfamiliar, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we explore a powerful connection that quietly shapes every relationship in your life: the way you treat yourself is how you teach others to treat you. We examine how core beliefs we carry about our worth, love, and safety don’t just live in our minds, they shape our behavior, relationships, and what we tolerate. We break down how these beliefs are formed through childhood dynamics and past relationships, and how they show up in adulthood through patterns. We will also guide you through a simple exercise to help identify your own core beliefs in real time. We also consider boundaries and how they are not about pushing people away, but about defining self-respect in action, are one of the clearest expressions of self-love, communicate what you will and won’t accept, and create the structure that allows relationships to feel safe, honest, and sustainable. This episode is a conversation about self-trust, emotional awareness, and what it really means to stop abandoning yourself in the name of love.

In this episode of This Changes Everything, we explore a powerful connection that quietly shapes every relationship in your life: the way you treat yourself is how you teach others to treat you.

At the center of the conversation are core beliefs, the invisible, often unconscious stories we carry about our worth, love, and safety. Beliefs like “I’m too much,” “I have to earn love,” or “If I set boundaries, I’ll be rejected” don’t just live in our minds. They shape our behavior, our relationships, and what we tolerate.

We break down how these beliefs are formed through childhood dynamics and past relationships, and how they show up in adulthood through patterns like over-explaining, accepting less than we want, and avoiding conflict even when something doesn’t feel right. You’ll also be guided through a simple exercise to help identify your own core beliefs in real time.

From there, we move into the role of boundaries and how they are not about pushing people away, but about defining self-respect in action. Boundaries are one of the clearest expressions of self-love. They communicate what you will and won’t accept, and they create the structure that allows relationships to feel safe, honest, and sustainable.

At the heart of this episode is a key insight: we don’t get treated how we want. We get treated how we believe we deserve. And boundaries are how we begin to rewrite that belief through action.

This is a conversation about self-trust, emotional awareness, and what it really means to stop abandoning yourself in the name of love.

Today Sarah is talking to Dr. Liesel Sharabi, an associate professor in the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication, Director of the Relationships & Technology Lab at Arizona State University and co-founder of The Modern Love Collective, and Hily Dating App expert. Dr. Sharabi shares how young daters are navigating dating in the technology era, the best approach to looking for a partner, and steps to take when you're single and what to get back out there. She analyzes the finds of the Hily Dating App T.R.U.T.H Report, and explains why we can be our own worst enemies when looking for a partner, the stress we endure if we start worrying about what our friends and family think of the people we date, and why physical attraction isn't the best predictor of long-term relationship success.

This is the first in a series, where we'll talk exclusively about relationships, dating, compatibility, and finding your person. Anyone who has been single in a last few years knows it is a whole new ballgame with social media, online dating, and digital culture, and a lot of people feel intimidated by confronting the new reality of relationships in this environment. And if you're already in a relationship you might even wonder if you're in the right one for you. So first I'll give you the tools to assess whether the relationship you're in is even viable, healthy, and satisfying. This will help you know whether you need to make some changes and cut ties. And if you're already single, it will provide some ideas on how to assess what it is that you're looking for in a partner and how to find the right person for you. This series will help empower you to make the right choices for dating, love, and partnership.

What does it actually mean to change and why are we so fascinated (and suspicious) when people do? This week, Sarah sits down with Benoit Denizet-Lewis, acclaimed New York Times Magazine writer and author of You've Changed: The Promise and Price of Self-Transformation, to unpack the psychology, identity shifts, and messy reality of transformation. Drawing on deeply reported stories and personal insight, Benoit reveals why change is less about reinvention and more about self-discovery, and why it’s often more complicated (and communal) than we think.

We're shifting gears this week, from therapy to something that I relate to personally. I recently watched the new Netflix doc about America's Next Top Model, and read up on the controversy and backlash that was caused when viewers listened to Tyra Banks' comments. Luckily, I'm in the fortunate position of having first hand experience with reality TV, and thought I'd share some insight and perspective. Enjoy.
