Opening to Love Again — Sabrina Zohar
Are you ready to love again?
After six episodes exploring love from every angle — what it is, where we learned it, why we hurt the people closest to us, and where it goes when it ends — we arrive at the question that follows all of that work: how do you open yourself back up?
In Episode 7 of Real Love Ready, Robin sits down with Sabrina Zohar, dating coach, author, entrepreneur, and host of The Sabrina Zohar Show. Sabrina is known for her no-BS approach to anxious attachment and for giving people the exact tools to stop letting it run their love life.
In this conversation they talk about why we keep chasing the spark, how to tell the difference between a relationship that feels calm because it is healthy and one that just feels boring, and why sitting in discomfort might be the most important skill you can bring into love. Sabrina shares what it took to stop being the girl having panic attacks over a text. Robin opens up about what it finally felt like when love felt calm.
