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.

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.

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Dr. Debi Silber, founder of the Post-Betrayal Transformation Institute, to unpack one of the most painful and misunderstood forms of trauma—betrayal. Dr. Silber shares her personal journey through betrayal and how it led to groundbreaking research on what makes this kind of trauma unique. We dive into her discovery of Post-Betrayal Syndrome, the emotional and physical symptoms many people experience, and why time alone doesn’t heal betrayal—action, awareness, and a willingness to change do. We explore the five stages of healing from betrayal, why so many people get stuck in the survival phase, and how to move beyond it. Dr. Silber also breaks down the difference between resilience and transformation, and the importance of self-awareness, forgiveness, and letting go of the betrayal story in order to fully heal and grow. Whether you’ve experienced betrayal in a romantic relationship, friendship, or even within your family, this episode offers deep insight, hope, and a clear roadmap to reclaiming your power and rebuilding a new version of yourself—stronger, wiser, and more aligned than ever.

In this episode, we have a deep, soulful conversation with dating and relationship coach Jackie Glaser about love, healing, and attracting a healthy, lasting relationship—especially if it hasn't matched your timeline. Jackie shares her personal journey to finding love later in life, unraveling emotional patterns, and how surrendering rather than controlling was key to shifting everything. We discuss the difference between true love and Hollywood fantasy, the power of mindset, and how somatic therapy can help unlock emotional blocks stored in the body. Key Takeaways: You can’t control fate, but you can control how you show up. Dating patterns often reflect deeper emotional wounds. True love feels like home—not chaos or obsession. Your self-worth isn’t tied to having a partner. Mindset, curiosity, and somatic healing are game-changers on the path to love. The most powerful shift comes when you stop judging your timeline and start accepting where you are.
