Why do we keep choosing what hurts us — even when we know better? In this powerful episode, Samantha breaks down how your nervous system — not your mind — is often running the show when it comes to who you feel drawn to. If you're tired of being attracted to emotionally unavailable or chaotic partners, this conversation is your wake-up call.
You’ll learn:
- Why dysregulation in your body can hijack your sense of attraction
- How unhealed childhood wounds cause you to confuse intensity with intimacy
- Why declaring what you truly want is essential for change
- The truth behind “I keep attracting the wrong people” (Hint: it’s not attraction, it’s attention)
- Three practical tools to start shifting your patterns today
It’s time to stop craving what wounded you and start desiring what’s actually good for you.
