<p>Does anything in your life feel a little “off” right now?</p> <p>Do you feel like you're settling for less than you deserve?</p> <p>Today, Jay sits down with Sadia Khan, psychotherapist and relationship expert, for a deep and unfiltered conversation on love, commitment, and emotional healing in the modern age. Known for her bold and counterintuitive insights, Sadia brings clarity to the often murky waters of dating, self-worth, and relationship dynamics.</p> <p>Sadia shares her powerful perspective on the importance of being able to walk away from disrespect, and how this one shift can transform who you attract and how you're treated. She challenges conventional dating advice by focusing not on what you attract—but what you entertain—highlighting the role of self-esteem in relationship choices. She explains why emotional unavailability feels attractive, how ghosting reflects poor communication habits, and why your dating app rejection might not be what you think it is.</p> <p>Jay and Sadia dive into the core issues many of her clients face, including infidelity, fear of commitment, and men struggling with masculinity. She unpacks how a lack of male role models, the ability to set boundaries, and people-pleasing behaviors can derail modern masculinity—and how both men and women can break these cycles to build healthier love.</p> <p>Sadia introduces the "Three A’s" women need to fall in love—Attraction, Admiration, and Adoration—and the "Three L’s" men need—Lust, Labor, and Loyalty—exploring how balance in these elements creates deep, lasting connection. She also breaks down why women might cheat on “nice” men and how misunderstanding emotional needs can lead to betrayal.</p> <p>In this episode, you’ll learn:</p> <p>How to Attract and Maintain Healthy Relationships.</p> <p>Why Self-Worth is the Foundation of Love.</p> <p>How to Avoid the Trap of Emotional Immaturity.</p> <p>What Makes Men and Women Truly Commit.</p> <p>The Real Reasons Behind Infidelity.</p> <p>How to Build Masculine Strength in a Healthy Way.</p> <p>Why Peace is Better than Constant Pleasure in Love.</p> <p>This conversation is a masterclass in emotional intelligence and healing.
