Real love doesn’t make you nervous — it makes you calm. In this episode of The Spirit of Dating, host George Dus explores how emotional safety forms the bridge between self-love and real connection.
Through the story of Rachel and David, George unpacks what happens when chemistry feels intense but the body feels unsettled — and how true safety becomes the language of lasting attraction. Drawing from nervous system science, masculine/feminine energy, and the Two of Cups, this episode invites you to listen to what your body already knows about love.
💫 Spirit Whisper: “Safety is the soil; visibility is the sunlight.”
