135: 4 Brutal Truths About Dating & Rela...

The Sabrina Zohar Show
About this episode
Think you're ready for a healthy relationship? Think again.

In this raw solo episode, Sabrina breaks down the four uncomfortable but necessary truths about dating and relationships that most people avoid. From why you might not actually be ready for the love you say you want, to how your nervous system may be confusing chaos with chemistry, this episode is a call-out and a wake-up. With research-backed insights (yes, we’re talking the salience network and the Dunning-Kruger effect), you'll learn why timing, emotional maturity, and attraction blindness play a bigger role than you think—and why doing “everything right” still won’t guarantee you don’t get hurt.

Whether you're stuck in situationships, questioning your dating patterns, or struggling to let go of potential, this one’s for you. Sabrina gives you the science, the tools, and the truth—with zero sugarcoating. Get ready to rewrite the narrative, rewire your brain, and reclaim your standards.
