| 0:32.2 | into this person. You're in love with who they could be or who you want to believe that they could be. |
| 0:37.9 | The version that shows up sometimes, the glimpse that you got on date three, the person they are when things are going well, and you've built an entire relationship around a highlight reel. And now you're devastated every time they show you the full footage. Because at the end of the day, you're not dating people. You're dating potential, and potential isn't a partner. That's just you projecting how you would either handle this or the type of love you didn't get to receive as a child |
| 0:57.9 | that you want them to step into. Hello, hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the |
| 1:03.1 | Sabrina Zohar Show. My name is Sabrina Zohar and I am your host. Hello babes. Welcome back. This is |
| 1:09.9 | the first episode of a four-part hard truth series. And we're starting here because to me, this is the pattern underneath so many other patterns. And if you've just said, oh my God, but when it's so good, it's so good, then baby, this episode is for you. I love a series. Don't forget to rate and review the show. Share it with a friend. Guys, that is actually the most important thing that you could do. Rating and reviewing is so helpful to me, but sharing it, letting other people know about the show. It means the world. As always, guys, if you need anything, everything will be in the link in show notes. You can work one-on-one, join a course, take the new, what type of lover are you quiz, and get some dating advice via email from me, or just be here. I can't tell you how much that means. All right, babies, |
| 1:48.3 | without further ado, let's get right on into it, shall we? Hi, friends! Can I just say, |
| 1:54.9 | and I want to start off with, I am so goddamn grateful for every single person that's here. I don't think words can describe it. I'm coming off the high of being on Jay Shetty. If you guys haven't listened, please go listen. And being on Hot Smart Rich with Maggie Sellers and just feeling this overwhelming feeling of love and community that we've built. Now, in the interim, have I still gotten trolls? Duh. |
| 2:18.4 | What's new? There's always going to be people that don't like you. That means you're doing something right. But I just, I don't know, I'm feeling just so much gratitude. And I really want to, for me, for me, I want to live in that. I want to show up as that. And so I'm trying. I hear you I know my speech and my cadence is not for everybody. As always, you can slow down the show. You could do ad free if you want. You don't have to listen. But I do hope that you guys see that when a sponsor sponsors the show, that means that they're saying they believe in me and the audience. And that is how I can keep showing up for you guys. Otherwise, I couldn't keep doing this. So I just wanted to say thank you. And I wanted to share with you guys that you are the reason I get out of bed. And I know that might sound really dark and you're like, goddamn, all right, is that how we're starting the show? But genuinely, like every morning when I wake up, I sometimes get really sad and I get down and I feel all of my fucking my neurotransmitters that are a little off. But then I remember my |
| 3:08.0 | why and who I'm doing this for. And it's not just you guys. It's also for me. I'm doing this for my little so that she could feel what it feels like to be herself in a safe space. And like I said, I get it, right? Like I'm not for everybody. And that is so okay. But for the ones that I are here for me, I see I hear you and I fucking get it and we're in this together and I actually wanted to read a DM I got and the reason I wanted to read this is because I think this is a really great way of how I explain to you guys like what setting a boundary really looks like in the moment and so somebody had written and said you're perfect and amazing all I want to say is can you please talk a bit slower it might be really hard for some people to catch your pace. And so somebody had written and said, you're perfect and amazing. All I want to say is, can you please talk a bit slower? It might be really hard for some people to catch your pace. And I said, no, thank you. I appreciate you saying I'm perfect and amazing, but then following up with, but please change how you speak isn't accepting me for who I am. I have ADHD, and this is how I naturally speak. And on the podcast, you can slow it down, but if that doesn't work for you, that's okay. I encourage you not to change yourself for someone else, and I will be practicing doing the same. I truly wish you all the best. And the response was, I fucking love that response. I wish I could be like that. That was a big lesson for me. And the only reason I'm sharing that is because I very easily could have been like, change who you are. Change who you are, dude. Like, this is it. |
| 4:14.5 | Nobody likes you. But I have to double down on, but I believe in me. And I believe in how I show up. And I believe that for the right people in there. Remember, everybody is welcome, but it's not my job to keep people comfortable. And we have a lot of new people, right? Like, we have a video now on Spotify. Hi. We get a lot of editorial now and we're being pushed out. And so I know that some |
| 4:31.8 | stuff might sound repetitive or if you're like, bitch, I've heard this story, but I want us to Spotify. Hi. We get a lot of editorial now and we're being pushed out. And so I know that some |
| 4:31.8 | stuff might sound repetitive or if you're like, bitch, I've heard this story, but I want us to remember that like we are bringing in new people into the community. And I was actually at a women in podcasting dinner last night. I have this beautiful group of amazing fucking women. And we just sat and it, I brought me to tears when I came home because I was like, this is what have been craving and missing is community, is being able to be with people and hug them and see intonation and facial expressions. And I just hope that you guys feel that too. That like this is, we're not stopping. We're only going to keep going. The book is going to be out now at this point in a few months by the time this happens. And we're only going to keep building the community. |
| 5:04.6 | So thank you for being part of it. And thank you for truly being here as yourself and allowing me to as well. |
| 5:10.3 | It really means the world. So, all right. Let's get into it. I chose this episode, the potential |
| 5:16.4 | and the idea of somebody because I thought, you know, it's funny, I had the In The Trenches |
| 5:21.3 | last month with Demona Hoffman, which, by the way, I did a poll on Instagram to ask, |
