EP #187: Why Healthy Love Starts With Knowing Yourself ft. Stefanos Sifandos

This week, Stella sits down with relationship coach, author, and podcaster Stefanos Sifandos to explore how our relationship with ourselves shapes the relationships we build with others.

Together, they unpack why we’re often attracted to what feels familiar, even when it isn’t healthy; how to distinguish chemistry, limerence, and genuine connection; and why conflict doesn’t always mean a relationship is wrong for us. They also explore people-pleasing, self-worth, modern dating, loneliness, and what it really means to feel seen by another person.

At the heart of the conversation is a simple idea: the more deeply we know, trust, and accept ourselves, the more capable we become of creating meaningful connection with others.

Plus, Stefanos shares why instead of constantly pursuing happiness (or another person) we may be better off pursuing truth.
