🎧 DAY 21: The Ugly Truth About 'Safe' Love (Your Brain Will Hate It) | UNSTUCK: 30 Days to Rewrite Your Love Story
🔥 EPISODE DESCRIPTION
You're on a date with someone nice - really nice. They show up on time, ask thoughtful questions, and don't mention their ex once. But instead of feeling excited, you're bored. Your brain screams: Where's the spark? Suddenly you're tempted to text your emotionally unavailable ex just to feel something.
In this eye-opening episode of UNSTUCK: 30 Days to Rewrite Your Love Story, host Christy Holt (your Nervous System Navigator) reveals why safe love feels boring at first when you're wired for chaos. Discover how to retrain your brain to crave calm connections, and why that "missing spark" might actually be your trauma bond detoxing.
Spoiler: Safety isn't boring - it's how real love begins.
