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
