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.

    284: What Are You Running From That You Don’t Want to Face? with Shannan Kym

    Most of us don't wake up one day and decide to run from ourselves. We learn to through pain, fear, and sometimes simply to survive. And over time, that escape can take many forms: another drink, another achievement, another scroll, another relationship, another reason to stay busy. In this episode, we talk with Shannan Kym, an internationally award-winning author, TEDx speaker, and transformational mentor, about the ways we escape ourselves and what we're really running from. Drawing from her own experience with childhood abuse, alcoholism, and an unhealthy relationship, Shannan shares how facing the parts of ourselves we've been avoiding can become the beginning of real change. Together, we explore why temporary relief isn't the same as healing, how stillness can reveal the patterns we've been trying to escape, and why awareness is the first step toward creating a different life. We also unpack identity, self-trust, and what it means to stop running from your pain and start becoming the person you truly want to be.

Download the FREE Workbook ✨ Download my Self-Love Cheat Sheet — a simple, practical guide to help you reconnect with yourself, break self-sabotaging patterns, and start choosing yourself every day. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Why we turn to distraction, achievement, and unhealthy habits to escape pain ✨ How the patterns we develop in childhood can shape the lives we create as adults ✨ Why stillness can bring the emotions and limiting beliefs we've been avoiding to the surface ✨ The difference between temporarily feeling better and actually becoming better ✨ How knowing what you want can be the beginning of changing your life ✨ Why your identity is something you can consciously create and embody If you've been using busyness, achievement, relationships, or other coping mechanisms to avoid what you're really feeling, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to spend your life running from yourself. Sometimes, the beginning of change is simply becoming aware of what you don't want, getting honest about what you do want, and choosing to face what's been waiting underneath.

    283: How to Calm Anxiety & Stress When Life Feels Like Too Much with Connie Habash

    We spend so much of our lives rushing from one thing to the next that we forget what it feels like to simply be here. Thinking about what happened. Worrying about what’s coming. Checking our phones, answering messages, carrying a hundred things at once. And eventually we feel it — stressed, anxious, and strangely disconnected from ourselves. In this episode I talk with Rev. Connie L. Habash, a licensed marriage and family therapist and author of Awakening from Anxiety, about how time in nature can calm your nervous system and bring you back into your body.Together we explore how nature slows you down, quiets the noise you’ve stopped noticing, and becomes a practice you’ll actually keep.

Connie's The Gift of Calm — a simple resource to help you create more calm, regulate overwhelm, and reconnect with a sense of inner peace. ✨ Grab my Chaos to Calm guide — simple, practical tools to help you reset emotionally, quiet the overwhelm, and come back to yourself when everything feels like too much.

    282: Successful on the Outside but Empty on the Inside? (Why & What To Do) with Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby

    There comes a point when achieving more stops answering the questions you thought it would. You can have the career, the goals, the relationships, and a life that looks good from the outside… and still wonder, “Is this actually what I want?” In this episode, we talk with Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby — psychologist, licensed marriage and family therapist, board-certified coach, founder of Growing Self Counseling and Coaching, and host of the Love, Happiness and Success podcast. We unpack why external success doesn’t always change how we feel on the inside, and why constantly chasing the next milestone can leave us disconnected from who we actually are. Together, we explore what it really means to know yourself beyond your achievements, roles, and other people’s expectations. From understanding your personality and values to paying attention to what you genuinely enjoy, need, and want, this conversation looks at why knowing yourself may be one of the most important parts of creating relationships, success, and a life that actually fits you. Episode Resources ✨ Download the Success Blocks Checklist — uncover the hidden patterns around self-worth, achievement, and success that may be keeping you from fully enjoying the life you’ve worked so hard to create.

    281: Why You Feel No Spark with the Good Guys

    You can meet someone who is consistent, available, and genuinely good to you… and still find yourself wondering why you don’t feel the same spark. Then someone else gives you mixed signals, keeps you guessing, or stays just out of reach and suddenly, you can’t stop thinking about them. In this episode, we explore why the person who gives you the love you say you want can sometimes feel “boring,” while the person you have to chase feels exciting. We explore how what you experienced growing up can shape what you recognize as love as an adult and why you may keep finding yourself drawn to relationships where you have to work for someone’s attention. Through personal stories, coaching insights, and a simple question to ask yourself when you feel the urge to pull away, we look at what may really be behind that restlessness and how to tell whether you genuinely don’t want someone or you’re simply not used to love being this easy. Episode Resources ✨ Book a Make It Make Sense Call — if you know there’s a pattern in your relationships but can’t quite see where it comes from, this call will help you connect the dots and understand what keeps repeating. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Why emotionally unavailable people can feel more exciting than available ones ✨ How childhood experiences shape what we learn to expect from love ✨ Why having to earn someone’s attention can feel like chemistry ✨ What may be happening when a good relationship suddenly feels “boring” ✨ How the same role you played growing up can follow you into adult relationships ✨ The one question to ask yourself before walking away from someone who treats you well If you keep losing interest when someone is consistent but becoming attached when someone keeps you guessing, this episode will help you look at that pattern differently and understand what you may actually be chasing when you think you’re chasing love.

    280: Why You Give Too Much but Get Less Than You Deserve

    So many women spend years believing that being loving means giving more. Giving more of their time. Their energy. Their support. Their patience. And without realizing it, they build their sense of worth around being the one everyone can depend on. In this episode, we unpack why overgiving isn't always about generosity. Sometimes it's about trying to earn love, approval, or a sense of belonging. We explore how childhood experiences shape the roles we take on, why receiving can feel so uncomfortable, and what it takes to stop measuring our worth by how much we do for everyone else. Through personal stories, coaching insights, and a simple practice to help you pause before you give, we uncover the deeper pattern beneath overgiving, people-pleasing, and overachieving and how to start giving from love instead of proving your worth. Episode Resources ✨ Book a Make It Make Sense Call — uncover the hidden patterns behind your overgiving, people-pleasing, and relationship struggles so you can stop proving your worth and start living from it. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Why so many women become the one who gives everything but asks for little ✨ How childhood experiences can teach us to earn love through being helpful or useful ✨ Why overgiving and overachieving often come from the same wound ✨ The hidden request for love that can exist beneath generosity ✨ Why receiving can feel more uncomfortable than giving ✨ A simple practice to help you give from choice instead of fear If you've ever felt unseen despite giving so much, struggled to ask for what you need, or quietly wondered why your relationships feel so one-sided, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to earn the love you're worthy of receiving.

    279: Why You Feel So Insecure When You Like Someone

In this solo episode, Sanaiyah explores why romantic relationships awaken old emotional wounds, how childhood experiences shape the way we seek love and validation, and why someone else's attention can become tied to our sense of worth.

    278: The Hidden Family Patterns You Keep Repeating with Monika Wyss

    There are struggles in life that don't seem to make sense. You keep repeating the same relationship patterns. You attract similar experiences. You wonder why certain fears, behaviors, or emotional reactions feel so much bigger than the situation itself. And sometimes... the answers didn't begin with you. On this episode, we welcome back Monika Wyss — Family Constellation trainer, clinical hypnotherapist, and founder of Heart Sanctuary Kuala Lumpur. Through family constellation, inner child healing, and trauma-informed practices, Monika helps people uncover the emotional wounds, family dynamics, and generational patterns that quietly shape how they love, relate, succeed, and move through life. Together, we explore how childhood experiences become adult patterns, why unresolved family trauma can continue across generations, and how Family Constellation helps reveal hidden loyalties and unconscious stories that may still be influencing your relationships, health, finances, and sense of self today. Through powerful real-life examples, this conversation offers a deeper understanding of why healing isn't just personal, it's often systemic. Episode Resources ✨ Ready to uncover the hidden patterns shaping your life? Join the (In-Person) Family Constellation Workshops with Monika Wyss this August in Manila. Register here: www.thirdeyeonline.com/event-registration ✨ If you've been noticing the same relationship patterns repeating in your life, book a free Make It Make Sense Call with Sanaiyah. Together, you'll uncover the hidden patterns behind your relationship struggles so you can stop repeating them and start creating a different future. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Why childhood wounds continue to shape adult relationships ✨ How blame can become a sign that healing is needed within ✨ What family constellation reveals about inherited patterns and generational trauma ✨ How unresolved family experiences can show up in love, health, money, and success ✨ Why awareness is the beginning of healing, not the end of it ✨ How compassion helps you break patterns instead of repeating them If you've ever wondered why you keep reacting the same way, attracting similar experiences, or feeling stuck in patterns you can't explain, this conversation may help you understand where those patterns began—and why they don't have to define your future.

    277: [Meditation] Release Shame: A Guided Meditation for Self-Forgiveness

    Shame has a way of convincing us that one moment, one mistake, or one decision says everything about who we are. Long after the moment has passed, we keep replaying it... carrying the guilt, criticizing ourselves, and believing we have to keep punishing ourselves to prove we've learned our lesson. This is a guided self-love meditation created for the moments when you're struggling to forgive yourself. Not to erase the past or pretend nothing happened... but to help you meet the parts of yourself you've been judging with a little more compassion, understanding, and kindness. Join me as we gently release the weight of self-blame, reconnect with the version of you who needed love the most, and remember that healing doesn't begin when the past changes—it begins when you stop abandoning yourself because of it. Episode Resources ✨ Download the Self-Love Cheat Sheet — simple reminders to help you quiet your inner critic, strengthen self-compassion, and return to yourself with more kindness each day. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Why shame often becomes part of the story we tell ourselves ✨ The difference between judging yourself and understanding yourself ✨ How curiosity can gently replace self-criticism ✨ Why compassion creates space for healing without denying the past ✨ A guided visualization to help you reconnect with the parts of yourself you've left behind If you've been carrying regret, replaying old mistakes, or finding it hard to forgive yourself, this meditation is a gentle reminder that your past deserves understanding... and so do you.
