Oh, hi, Connell. I'm so excited. And hopefully TikTok will be around for more than four more days. hopefully it'll be around until this episode uh ends or at least posts i know it's very scary times in social media world isn't it it really is it's an unsettling time because i'm like oh for all the pros there are the cons and i'm here for it like everything else but yes i i think this is just honestly what has been it's been a um a lesson in surrender and letting go right we have no control of the outcome we can't do anything about it and so this is a really good time to learn to sit in discomfort and i am sitting in it i'll tell you that
Well, let's talk a little bit about your story. Talk about discomfort. A lot of the men listening to this podcast, they're going to be getting back into dating after hitting a low point. They're going to be out of a breakup or maybe they are really getting over a tough period in their lives. And you launched your now very successful career in a moment when you were struggling with some things. You were about to be on Shark Tank, but at the last minute they said, we don't have room for you. And I know you had a period where your dog passed away, your dating life was in a bad place. Can you talk about the low point you were in before you climbed out of it?
How did Sabrina Zohar overcome her rock bottom moment?
absolutely i and the reason i'm always so big on sharing the low points is because i think we see such a highlight reel right like you look on instagram and you see how everybody's happy and you see how everybody's successful and thriving and oh look i got rid of my anxiety and it's like but nobody's showing you like when you lift the veil and start to see the cracks what's really going on right and for me for years i was single i lived in new york for 12 years and then i moved to la and i really thought that was going to be better for my dating life and then i very quickly found out like it wasn't And I was the poster child for that severe anxious attachment. Like if I didn't get a text message back within a couple of minutes, that said I was smiling, I'm crying, I'm hyperventilating on the floor. And it really stemmed back from childhood, right? Just so much trauma. I grew up in a really, really just unhealthy, chaotic and very just fucked up childhood.
so then I became an adult and well I grew up I don't know if I became an adult quite yet I moved to New York I was pursuing all of my stuff and I went to acting school and then I dropped out I went to fashion school and then I got a career in fashion and just realized I hated it and along the way I started my clothing company after my mom got sick and it was this whole beautiful story and that was like my first rock bottom that was the first time I ever realized my anxiety was the problem And it didn't mean that I was, it meant that something in my body was causing issues. And dove in, started therapy, married my father, the man that was an exact replica. And of course, as we know how that ended a year later, I was- You had a tall dad, so let's get a tall husband, right? oh yeah, tall drink of piece of shit. And he was just, it was just the same.
