Ever find yourself dating the same person in a different body, ignoring red flags, chasing the spark, or wondering why you keep repeating the same relationship patterns? Sabrina Zohar is here to help us unpack WHY.

In this episode of Girls Gone Wellness, we're joined by dating and relationship coach, host of The Sabrina Zohar Show, and author of Why Am I Like This?, Sabrina Zohar, for one of our most personal, honest, and eye-opening conversations yet.

And when we say personal, we mean it.

If you've been listening to GGW for a while, you know Victoria's dating life has become somewhat of a running joke on the podcast. But after reading an advance copy of Sabrina's book (which she genuinely says changed her life), it was time to get into the patterns, behaviours, and beliefs that keep showing up in our relationships. And yes, that includes Victoria's decision to take six months off dating.

We get into attachment styles, anxious attachment, dating anxiety, emotional availability, boundaries, self-sabotage, and the difference between chemistry and compatibility. We also challenge some of the most popular dating advice circulating online, including whether “if he wanted to, he would” is actually helpful, why we put so much weight on texting, and whether that intense spark is always something worth chasing.

Sabrina shares her own experiences with unhealthy relationship patterns, what it actually takes to change your behaviour, and why becoming more self-aware doesn't automatically mean you'll stop repeating the same mistakes.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why we keep attracting or choosing the same types of partners
• Anxious attachment, dating anxiety, and the need for validation
• The difference between chemistry, compatibility, and emotional capacity
• Why the spark might not mean what you think it means
• Dating apps, texting anxiety, and unrealistic relationship expectations
• Setting boundaries without abandoning your own needs
• How childhood experiences can influence adult relationships
• Whether taking a break from dating actually helps you heal
• Why understanding your patterns is only part of changing them
• What healthy dating and relationships can actually look like

And perhaps the biggest takeaway? You can understand exactly why you do something and still struggle to stop doing it.

Whether you're single, navigating modern dating, happily partnered, or trying to better understand yourself, this conversation goes so much further than dating advice. It's about the patterns we carry into our relationships, the ways we abandon ourselves, and what it really means to start doing things differently.

Sabrina's new book, Why Am I Like This?, is out October 13, 2026, and we cannot recommend it enough.

If you've ever asked yourself, “Why do I keep doing this?”, this episode is for you.

Pregnancy and postpartum fitness advice can really crazy really fast

One minute women are being told to lift heavy, build muscle, and get stronger-and then the second they become pregnant, suddenly it’s, “Be careful. Don’t lift too much. Don’t get your heart rate too high. Don’t do core.” Then postpartum hits, and somehow the messaging flips again: now you’re supposed to lose the baby weight, “get your body back,” and return to normal as quickly as possible.

This week, we’re talking about what strength training during pregnancy and postpartum should actually look like. We’re joined by pre- and postnatal trainer and female physiology researcher Tasha Leung to break down some of the biggest myths around lifting while pregnant, core training, diastasis recti, Kegels, pelvic floor function, the six-week postpartum clearance, C-section recovery, and the pressure women feel to bounce back after having a baby.

What should you be doing in your 20s, 30s and 40s if you want a healthy brain at 80?

This week, we’re joined by registered dietitian and cognitive health expert Barbie Boules to talk about what we actually know about protecting our brains as we age and why brain health deserves our attention long before we start worrying about dementia.

Barbie has been a registered dietitian for over 25 years, and her work has become increasingly focused on women’s health, healthy aging and cognitive health. After her mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, the conversation around dementia prevention and protecting cognitive function also became deeply personal for her.

We talk about the connection between cardiovascular health and brain health, including cholesterol, ApoB, Lp(a), blood pressure, insulin resistance and body composition, and why many of the things we do to protect our hearts may also matter for our brains.

We also get into brain fog and normal forgetfulness, social media and our shrinking attention spans, multitasking, AI and whether outsourcing our thinking could have consequences for cognitive health.

Then, of course, we talk nutrition: the MIND diet, berries, leafy greens, whole grains, fatty fish, coffee, alcohol, creatine and supplements. Plus, Barbie breaks down what we actually know about menopause and cognition, including the viral claim that your brain starts to “eat itself” when estrogen declines.

In this episode, we cover:

• How early brain health and cognitive decline should be on our radar
• Normal forgetfulness vs. changes worth paying attention to
• Modifiable risk factors for dementia and cognitive decline
• The connection between cholesterol, metabolic health and brain health
• Whether social media, multitasking and AI are changing how we use our brains
• The MIND diet and what to eat for long-term brain health
• Coffee, alcohol, creatine and supplements for cognitive health
• Menopause, estrogen and the female brain
• Cognitive reserve and why protecting your brain involves more than doing Sudoku
• The realistic habits you can start now to support a healthier brain later

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your brain healthy as you age, whether brain fog is something to worry about, or what actually matters for reducing your risk of cognitive decline, this episode is for you.
