Summary
Happy Valentine's Day! Dating coach Sabrina Zohar joins Nicole for a deep dive into attachment styles and how they shape our love lives. Are you anxiously attached, always seeking reassurance and fearing abandonment? Or are you more avoidant, pulling away when things get too close? Sabrina breaks down the key differences, explaining how both styles stem from a common fear of rejection- and how recognizing your patterns can help you build healthier relationships.
They discuss how to stop spiraling, set boundaries, manage emotional dysregulation, and choose self-love over external validation. Plus, Sabrina shares her personal experiences and expert strategies to help you rewire your attachment style and create connections that feel safe, stable, and fulfilling.
