In this episode, Krista sits down with the inspiring designer + TV personality, Sabrina Soto, for an unfiltered conversation about rising above heartbreak—and why being vulnerable is your greatest superpower.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Will I ever truly love (and trust) again?” this is for you. 

Ahead, hear Sabrina’s journey from trauma bonds to uncovering self-worth + genuine connection. Learn why hitting rock bottom can become the foundation for extraordinary transformation, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the tools, retreats, and mindset shifts that changed everything. 

This episode also teases a fresh perspective on dating, relationships, and how to cultivate authentic friendships in a world obsessed with perfection. Plus, don’t miss Sabrina Soto’s honest take on imposter syndrome, reinvention, and finding her true calling beyond the spotlight.

We also talk about:

  • Healing after narcissistic abuse & breaking the trauma bond  
  • The game-changing impact of Hoffman Institute + EMDR therapy  
  • How embracing vulnerability opens doors to real love + deep friendships  
  • Self-esteem: the secret ingredient for attracting healthy relationships  
  • Releasing numbing habits (like alcohol) + choosing yourself  
  • Why authentic communication is the key to transformative relationships  
  • How to actually allow others to show up for you—and why it matters  
  • Building trust after betrayal + letting yourself be seen  
  • Navigating dating apps vs. trusting your vibe + chemistry IRL  
  • Sabrina’s journey from Craigslist to HGTV, imposter syndrome + owning her power  
  • Ditching perfection, getting messy, and living your “high-low” life  
  • Standing out in competitive industries, handling criticism, and claiming your space
