Sabrina Zohar breaks down what’s really driving modern dating, from the pressure for instant certainty to anxious attachment, avoidance, and burnout. She explores how trauma shapes attraction, why great chemistry (or sex on the first date) doesn’t equal compatibility, and how modern dating dynamics can dysregulate the nervous system. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and her own journey from heartbreak to building a multi-million-dollar business featured on Shark Tank, Sabrina shares practical tools for setting boundaries, trusting yourself, and dating with intention - without losing your ambition.
