Should you sleep with someone on the first date? That's just the beginning of this raw conversation about love, heartbreak, and the messy truth about relationships.

In this episode, I sit down (again) with mama Tara - a yoga teacher with nearly three decades of experience, specialising in nervous system work rooted in Polyvagal Theory and guiding women through embodied transformation and generational healing.

🎙️ Tara opens up about:
🩷 Why sex on the first date is "chaos" (but why it's more complicated than you think)
🩷 The devastating heartbreak that defined her early adulthood
🩷 What women don't know about the power living in their hips
🩷 How to know if you're choosing someone from love or fear of being alone

This conversation goes DEEP. We talk about one true love vs. evolutionary partners who break you, the moment she packed her bags for a boat captain she barely knew, why pleasure is your most productive state, and how to have better sex by doing... yoga?

We dive into attachment, abandonment, the patterns we repeat in every relationship, and why sometimes the person who breaks your heart is your greatest teacher.
