Ever feel like you're self-sabotaging just as life starts getting better? Or frustrated that you're not "further along" in your personal growth journey? In this reflective year-end episode of You Will Be Okay, I open up about the subtle but profound transformation I've experienced over the past year—and what true, sustainable change really looks like in real life. Key takeaways you'll get: - Why change doesn't have to start on January 1st (and why we often hit rock bottom right before breakthroughs) - The truth about self-sabotage and the hidden fears that arise when stability finally shows up - Navigating the "messy middle"—that unglamorous phase where real growth happens, even when it feels stagnant - How motivation fades fast, but consistency and building emotional resilience create lasting results - Why unrealistic expectations and old coping mechanisms hold us back—and how to break free - Practical ways to sit with discomfort and build the emotional capacity needed for change that sticks If you've ever backslid during progress, felt stuck in frustration, or wondered why growth feels so slow, this episode is your reminder: You're not alone, and pushing through anyway is the key to moving forward.

In this episode, I break down anxious attachment—what it actually is, where it comes from, and why it can make love feel so overwhelming. I talk about how anxious attachment often forms in childhood, how it shows up as overthinking, fear of abandonment, and self-sabotage in relationships, and why so many people end up relying on others for reassurance instead of trusting themselves. More importantly, I walk you through how to heal it. I share practical tools for recognizing triggers, regulating your nervous system, challenging anxious thought patterns, and rebuilding self-esteem so your relationships stop feeling like emotional rollercoasters. If you’ve ever felt like you care “too much,” get attached too fast, or lose yourself in relationships, this episode will help you understand why—and show you that anxious attachment is not a life sentence. This conversation is about moving from fear to security, from chasing to choosing, and from anxiety to self-trust—so you can create healthier, calmer, more fulfilling connections.

In this episode, I sit down with writer and speaker Amanda McCracken, who shares her deeply personal journey as a late-in-life virgin — a story that’s so much more layered than people realize. We talk about how purity culture shaped her beliefs around sex and relationships, the misconceptions she had to untangle about virginity and self-worth, and how those early narratives followed her well into adulthood. Amanda also breaks down limerence — that intoxicating, obsessive pull toward unavailable partners — and explains the science behind longing and why dopamine can keep us hooked on fantasy instead of grounded, healthy love. We explore how she began healing through somatic work, how reconnecting with her body changed everything, and how her family dynamics influenced the kind of love she chased. Her story is such a powerful example of what happens when you start choosing yourself, building self-worth, and stepping out of old patterns.

In this episode, I break down why men pull away in relationships — and why it isn’t always a sign that something is wrong. I talk about the difference between healthy distance and avoidant attachment, and I share the psychological patterns behind withdrawal that most women never learn to recognize. I also get into the common mistakes women make when a man pulls back, including overanalyzing, seeking reassurance, or unknowingly creating pressure. Instead, I walk you through how to stay grounded, self-regulated, and confident while giving space in a way that actually strengthens the connection. Whether you're dating, in a relationship, or navigating anxious-avoidant dynamics, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface.

In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into attachment styles — what they are, how they shape your relationships, and most importantly, how to heal them. If you’ve ever wondered why you keep attracting the same type of partner… why you get anxious when you really like someone… why vulnerability feels difficult… or why the people you date pull away just when things get close — this episode is going to make your entire romantic history make sense. We break down: - The 4 attachment styles: secure, anxious, avoidant, and fearful-avoidant - How childhood experiences shape your nervous system and your patterns in love - How attachment shows up in dating, communication, conflict, and intimacy - The difference between an avoidant partner and someone who simply isn’t that into you - Why anxious and avoidant partners are magnetically drawn to each other - And most importantly — how to build secure attachment, no matter where you’re starting from This isn’t about labels or blaming your past. This is about building the tools to feel safe in love, stop abandoning yourself for connection, and finally experience relationships that are stable, healthy, and fulfilling.

In this episode, I sit down with dating coach Evan Marc Katz to talk about one of the most frustrating parts of being single — when the people you want don’t want you, and the ones who do just don’t feel like a match. Evan breaks down the paradox of modern dating and why attraction so often feels one-sided. We talk about the emotional challenges of being single, what this mismatch really reveals about our patterns, and how to start creating overlap between what you want and what wants you. If you’ve ever wondered why dating feels so unfair or why it seems impossible to find someone who actually aligns with you, this episode will help you see things differently. It’s real, honest, and surprisingly hopeful — because once you understand the game, you can start playing it on your terms. -- 10 Men You Should Not Date Follow Evan- @realevanmarckatz Follow me!

In this episode, I dive deep into the psychology of emotional unavailability — what’s really going on beneath the surface when someone pulls away just as things start to feel real. I talk about how emotionally unavailable people often operate from a state of dysregulation, not detachment. They’re not intentionally cold or manipulative — they’re usually in survival mode, reacting to intimacy as if it’s dangerous. When closeness triggers fear, their instinct is to withdraw, avoid, or shut down. Understanding this dynamic doesn’t excuse their behavior, but it helps you stop taking it personally and start seeing these patterns for what they are — unconscious defense mechanisms rooted in fear, not rejection. If you’ve ever dated someone who ran hot and cold or disappeared after things started getting deeper, this episode will help you make sense of it, stay grounded, and approach relationships with more awareness and compassion.

In this episode, I talk about the real barriers that keep so many of us from finding love—and how, most of the time, what’s getting in our way is ourselves. I share how our fears, insecurities, and unhealed wounds quietly sabotage relationships and make love feel harder than it needs to be. I also break down why inner work and self-awareness are the most powerful tools for attracting and keeping meaningful love.

In this episode, I talk about the emotional chaos that comes with being ghosted—something almost everyone has experienced but no one really knows how to handle. Ghosting feels personal, but it’s not a reflection of your worth. It usually says more about the other person’s emotional immaturity than anything you did wrong. I also share practical steps for moving on, building inner safety, and finding closure within yourself—because peace doesn’t come from their explanation, it comes from your own self-understanding. And if this topic resonates with you, my new book Detached: How to Let Go, Heal, and Become Irresistible goes even deeper into overcoming attachment wounds and learning how to let go with confidence.

In this episode, I dive into the 10 things every woman needs to know about men—truths that will change how you approach dating, love, and relationships. These aren’t tired clichés or games—they’re insights from my book 10 Things Every Woman Needs to Know About Men and years of coaching women through the ups and downs of love. We’ll talk about why appreciation matters so much to men, why rejection hits them harder than we realize, how they often live in the moment instead of planning ahead, and what commitment really means to them. I’ll also share why men need to feel like winners to thrive, why actions always speak louder than words, and how creating the right environment can inspire deeper connection and commitment. Most importantly, this conversation comes back to you: your self-worth, your happiness, and your ability to create the kind of love you deserve. When you understand men better, you stop overthinking, feel more confident, and attract relationships that truly work.

In this episode, I dive into what it really means to be a high-value woman—and why detachment is the secret ingredient to lasting confidence and healthy relationships. Being “high value” isn’t about looks, status, or playing games—it’s a mindset rooted in self-worth. I break down ten key principles of becoming a detached woman, from getting clear on what you want to mastering the art of receiving and learning to create a life you genuinely love. I also share personal stories and practical tools to help you let go of anxiety, stop waiting for someone else to validate you, and finally recognize your own worth.

In this episode, I break down the messy, magnetic, and ultimately toxic relationship between Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big from Sex and the City. From the very first season, the red flags were impossible to ignore—yet Carrie (and let’s be honest, many of us watching) romanticized their on-again, off-again rollercoaster as “true love.” I share why I believe Carrie and Big’s relationship was never healthy, how Carrie’s insecurities and Big’s commitment preferences—not “fears”—kept them stuck in an exhausting cycle, and why Carrie was in love with the idea of Big, not the man himself. If you’ve ever been caught in a situationship, obsessed with someone who won’t commit, or stuck in a breakup/makeup loop, this episode will hit home. I also unpack the role of attachment styles in relationship dynamics so you can spot these patterns before they drain you. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The early red flags in Carrie and Big’s relationship Why Big’s “commitment issues” weren’t what they seemed How Carrie’s emotional reactions kept the cycle going The difference between loving someone and loving the idea of them How understanding attachment styles can save you heartache Learn more here: https://www.sabrinabendory.com Follow me!

What happens when everything falls apart—and the only way out is in? In this powerful episode, I sit down with Angie Hawkins, Inner Glow coach and author of Running in Slippers, to talk about her journey from emotional numbness, burnout, and self-loathing to radical self-love and healing. After hitting rock bottom and surviving a suicide attempt, Angie began the deep work of rebuilding her relationship with herself from the inside out. We dive into: – How childhood wounds shape your self-worth – Why numbing your feelings never truly protects you – The truth about emotional regulation and feminine/masculine balance – What self-love really looks like (hint: it’s not bubble baths and affirmations) – The role coaching plays in creating lasting transformation If you’ve ever felt broken, empty, or stuck in cycles that no longer serve you—this conversation is your permission slip to begin again.
