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.

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want?
