This might be one of the most important conversations we've had about modern dating.
Global attachment expert + bestselling author Adam Lane Smith joins Krista to explain why so many people feel insecure, overwhelmed, and disconnected in relationships—and what it actually takes to build lasting trust + emotional safety.
Adam challenges some of the biggest myths we've been taught about attraction + relationships, explaining why chemistry isn't always compatibility, and why emotional safety is the foundation of lasting love.
If you've ever found yourself overthinking a text, staying in the wrong relationship, or wondering why love feels harder than it should, don't miss this episode.
We also talk about:
The four levels of safety women need
How childhood wounds shape adult relationships
Why dating apps create emotional disconnection
Communication mistakes couples constantly make
Rebuilding trust after betrayal + cheating
Oxytocin, cortisol + the science of attachment
