What are the emotional patterns that shape our dating experiences?

This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. This is Dr. Jesse Mills, host of the Mailroom Podcast. Each January, men promise to get stronger, work harder, and fix what's broken. But what if the real work isn't physical at all? I sat down with psychologist Dr. Steve Poulter to unpack shame, anxiety, and the emotional pain men were never taught how to name. Part of the way through the valley of despair is realizing this has happened, and you have to make a choice whether you're going to stay in it or move forward. Our two-part conversation is available now. Listen to The Mailroom on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. Hi, I'm Dr. Priyanka Wally. And I'm Hari Kundabolu.

It's a new year, and on the podcast Health Stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health. Which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that, or am I just depressed? Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. When you feel uncomfortable, what do you put on? Biggie. You put on Biggie when you feel uncomfortable? Because I want to get confidence. This is DJ Hester Prynne's Music is Therapy, a new podcast from me, a DJ and licensed therapist. 12 months, 12 areas of your life.

Money, love, career, confidence. This isn't just a podcast. It's unconventional therapy for your entire year. Listen to DJ Hester Prynne's Music is Therapy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

When you're with somebody, I don't want you to focus on how do they feel about me. I want you to focus on how do I feel in my body when I'm with this person. We're so focused on, are they choosing me? Are they going to pick me? That we end up self-abandoning and say, my wants, needs, and desires don't matter.

How can we advocate for ourselves in relationships?

Sabrina Zohar 1:51
I need you to like me.
Jay Shetty 1:54
Hey everyone, welcome back to On Purpose, the place you come to become happier, healthier, and more healed. Today's guest is someone that I'm a huge fan of. I've been following her online for quite a bit now, and I'm so excited to introduce you to her. I'm sitting down with Sabrina Zohar, creator, podcast host, and one of the most viral voices in modern dating. If you've ever found yourself chasing people who don't choose you, mistaking chaos for chemistry, or wondering why love feels so hard, this episode is going to hit home. Sabrina and I are going to dive into the patterns that keep you stuck, the boundaries that set you free, and the self-worth you need to finally date with clarity, confidence, and intention.

How can we identify if someone is truly interested in us?

Jay Shetty 2:37
And I love her no BS approach. Please welcome to On Purpose, Sabrina Zohar. Sabrina, it's great to have you here.

What are the signs of emotional unavailability in dating?

Sabrina Zohar 2:43
Jay, I am so excited to be here. Thank you for having me.
Jay Shetty 2:45
Yeah, I honestly, when I've been following your content and watching your videos, I was like, I need to sit down with this woman. She's got amazing insights. I love how practical it is, how real it is. But let's dive right in. I think the challenge today is, or at least what I feel people struggling with is, almost like the old challenge of sitting there with a flower and going, they love me, they love me not. They love me, they love me not. And I don't know when that was invented. But I feel like we're ruminating, we're overthinking, we're procrastinating. How do you know if someone's actually into you?
Sabrina Zohar 3:16
It's so funny. Thank you for reminding me about the flower. Because as you said, I was like, oh, my childhood. I think what we're really looking for, for me, I'm a big on effort equals interest. And I think we're getting in a time where that effort is starting to get muddied, right? We're looking at it as, are they texting me every day? Are they contacting me? And we're looking at these dopamine hits as opposed to actually connecting with people. And so I think for me, are you feeling safe, seen, and secure with this person? Now, that might not happen after one date, but is this somebody that is reciprocal?
