In this episode, I sit down with relationship coach Chris to talk about why so many people confuse chemistry, chaos, and emotional intensity with real love. We get into attachment styles, nervous system regulation, emotional safety, core wounds, and what secure love actually feels like in real life. This conversation will help you understand your patterns, stop romanticizing dysfunction, and start choosing relationships from clarity instead of survival mode.
