We all have a “type”—but what if your type is actually the problem?


In this solo episode, I break down how the people we’re most drawn to often reflect the dynamics we grew up with—even when those dynamics were painful or unhealthy. From the brooding artist to the charming extrovert who leaves you craving more, our attraction isn’t always about compatibility—it’s about familiarity.


You’ll learn:

  • Why your nervous system might be confusing love with chaos.
  • How childhood experiences shape your attraction blueprint.
  • What it takes to break toxic dating patterns without giving up on passion.
  • And how to stop chasing the highs and start building something real.


Whether you’re single or in a relationship that keeps feeling like a roller coaster, this episode will give you the clarity—and the tools—you need to finally break the cycle.
