  • Summary

  • What if the emotionally unavailable people you keep dating are actually holding up a mirror to you? In this raw and unfiltered episode, Sabrina peels back the layers on emotional availability—what it really means, why you keep attracting partners who can’t meet you there, and how your own patterns might be keeping you stuck in the cycle. With personal stories, bold insights, and a no-BS look at emotional intelligence, she dives deep into the difference between true vulnerability and emotional oversharing, and why safety in connection starts with you.

    Whether you're anxiously attached, avoidant, or just tired of dating people who can’t show up, this episode will hit home. Sabrina breaks down the signs of real emotional availability, how to check in with your nervous system, and practical tools to stop performing and start connecting. If you’ve ever thought, “Why do I keep ending up here?” — this one’s for you.

great!

I am working on being more emotionally available and aware.

About a year ago I said (text) something very toxic and hurtful to someone I DO really care about out of fear and because I did not sit in my discomfort and process before reacting.

Yes, I see now what we had could have been a situationship (for five years) but I also see how he was starting to show up and spend more time with me.

I do still speak with this person but nothing close to a true friendship and I want to sincerely apologize to him as I feel like I really hurt him but I do not know for certain. idk it could be in my head. I know this is a conversation that should be had in person so I will wait to see if the opportunity allows and ask his permission if it does
