Project Loving Myself

Sanaiyah Gurnamal and The Pod Network Entertainment

The podcast that brings you back to yourself through real self-love. Not the curated version. The kind you practice when you're heartbroken. In conflict. On the edge of change. When choosing yourself feels terrifying — or selfish. This is for the high-achieving woman who has been giving everything to everyone — afraid of being too much, or never quite enough — and is only just realising she's been last on her own list for far too long. You've built an impressive life. You show up for everyone who needs you. But somewhere along the way, you stopped showing up for yourself. And now you wonder why love, in all its forms, still feels just out of reach. Each episode brings real conversations, honest tools, and practices to help you build the most important relationship of your life: the one with yourself. Because you are the love you've been looking for — and how you love yourself shapes every other relationship in your life. Hosted by Sanaiyah Gurnamal — two-time TEDx Speaker, love and relationship expert, and Love Alchemist. 20+ years of experience. 5,000+ women helped. Make LOVE your power move. You don't need permission to choose yourself. But if it helps — this is it. For business enquiries, please reach out to The Pod Network at info@thepodnetwork.com.

    270: The Secret to Dating With More Confidence (After 64 First Dates) with Talia Koren

    There’s a lot of pressure around dating these days… to find the right person, avoid the wrong one, and somehow not lose yourself in the process. But maybe dating isn’t supposed to be so hard. Maybe it’s also a chance to learn who you are, what matters to you, and what you actually want. In this episode, I’m joined by Talia Koren — founder of Dating Intentionally, podcast host, content creator, and entrepreneur who helps people date with more confidence, clarity, and ease. After a major breakup, Talia went on 64 first dates in under 10 months before meeting her now husband, and what she learned along the way completely changed how she approached love, dating, and relationships. We talk about what shifts when you stop focusing on being liked and start paying attention to whether someone is actually right for you, why dating can become a space for self-discovery, and how understanding your own patterns changes everything. Episode Resources ✨ Take the Love Blocks Quiz — uncover the hidden pattern that may be shaping your dating choices, keeping you stuck, or making love feel harder than it needs to be. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Why dating gets easier when you stop focusing on being chosen ✨ What 64 first dates taught Talia about patterns, needs, and compatibility ✨ How to know whether you overlook red flags or look for reasons to walk away ✨ Why having fun might be one of the most underrated dating strategies ✨ How understanding your needs changes who you choose and why If dating has started to feel heavy, confusing, or like too much pressure, this episode might help you approach it with more curiosity, confidence, and trust in yourself.

    268: Why You Ignore Red Flags (Even When You See Them) with Ginny Priem

    What happens when what you thought was love comes crashing down? One moment, everything feels aligned — the connection, the chemistry, the way they show up. And then slowly, something shifts… and you’re left trying to make sense of what changed, what you missed, and why it no longer feels the way it did. In this episode, I’m joined by Ginny Priem — keynote speaker and #1 bestselling author of You’re My Favorite. Her work is rooted in a deeply personal journey that began with what felt like a fairytale relationship… and took an unexpected turn that challenged everything she thought she knew about love. Together, we explore why it can be so hard to see clearly when you’re emotionally invested, why we miss red flags even when they’re right in front of us, and what happens when the version of someone you believed in starts to unravel. Episode Resources ✨ Get the first chapter of Ginny’s #1 bestselling book You’re My Favorite for free here. ✨ Take the Love Blocks Quiz — uncover the pattern that made you miss the red flags, stay longer than you should have, or feel confused about what was real.

    264: How Do You Trust Again When People Keep Letting You Down?

    Ever feel like you want to relax and let go… but a part of you just won’t let you? One minute you’re open, hopeful, and trying… and the next you’re overthinking, pulling back, or expecting things to go wrong before they even do. In this episode, we unpack what really happens when your trust gets broken. Not because you’re too guarded or too much, but because your mind and body learned how to protect you. And how that protection, while it once kept you safe, may now be the very thing keeping you stuck, disconnected, and unable to fully let people in. This isn’t about forcing yourself to trust people again. It’s about learning where to put your trust, so you can stop protecting yourself from love and start letting it in again. Episode Resources ✨Take the Heartbreak Quiz — uncover the hidden pattern that’s keeping you guarded, overthinking, or stuck after being hurt, so you can let it go and start to believe in love again. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Why broken trust changes how you think, feel, and respond ✨ How protecting yourself can quietly turn into isolation ✨ The real cost of not trusting anyone anymore ✨ Why trusting others isn’t the goal… and what is ✨ Simple self-trust shifts to help you feel more grounded and in control If you’ve been hurt before and now find it hard to open up, trust, or fully relax in relationships, this episode will help you understand why and what to do next.
