Why does modern dating feel so exhausting?
Why are so many people struggling to find lasting love despite having more options than ever before?
In this episode of The Masoom Minawala Show, I sit down with relationship coach, counselor, and mental health expert Ekta Bhanushali for an honest conversation about modern relationships, dating culture, emotional availability, attachment styles, self-worth, and what it truly takes to build healthy love in today's world.
With over a decade of experience helping people navigate relationships and emotional well-being, Ekta breaks down the patterns that keep us stuck - from chasing unavailable partners and confusing chemistry with compatibility to seeking validation through relationships and struggling with commitment.
Whether you're single, dating, healing from heartbreak, or in a long-term relationship, this episode will help you understand yourself and your relationships on a much deeper level.
✨ In this episode, we discuss:
• Why modern dating feels harder than ever
• Why people struggle with commitment today
• The impact of dating apps and endless choices
• Attachment styles and how they shape relationships
• Why we keep repeating unhealthy relationship patterns
• The difference between chemistry and compatibility
• Self-worth, validation, and emotional dependence
This isn't just a conversation about finding the right partner, it's about becoming the version of yourself that can create healthy, secure, and fulfilling relationships.
If you've ever wondered why dating feels confusing, why relationships keep repeating the same patterns, or what healthy love actually looks like, this episode is for you.
