Episode 31: Why Smart, Spiritual Women Still Attract Emotionally Unavailable Men

Hello, beautiful Empress… this one’s for you if you’ve ever sat mid-journal session thinking, “How the hell did I end up here again?”

You’re spiritual. You’re self-aware. You’ve done the inner work. You’re successful. And yet… the emotionally unavailable men, the situationships, the chaos, still keep showing up.

In this solo episode, I get real about why awareness alone doesn’t protect you from love traps, the sneaky ways we spiritually bypass red flags, and how over-functioning in dating is actually disempowering you.

Together we’ll explore:
💔 Why unavailable feels magnetic (and why it drains you)
💔 The difference between compassion and taking on a “healing project”
💔 How to balance intuition with strong boundaries
💔 Why potential is not partnership
💔 Anchoring back into yourself before giving your heart away

Empress, dating isn’t about managing someone else’s wounds. It’s about standing in your worth, holding your boundaries, and being met as the powerful woman you are.

If you’re ready to break the cycle of attracting the unavailable and finally choose YOU, it’s time to step deeper into your healing.

In this deeply vulnerable solo episode, Sarah drops the mask and invites you into the truth of what it means to feel cracked open, humbled, and completely depleted — and still honour yourself through it all.

• Reconnect with your breath and body

• Ask your spirit team better questions

• Reach out without needing to "be okay" first

• Return to your daily practices even when you don’t feel like it

• And most importantly... remember who the f*ck you are

Episode #29 - Burnout - Soul calling!

You’re exhausted... but is it really just burnout? Or is your soul trying to get your attention?

In this heartfelt solo episode, Sarah King explores the deep difference between physical fatigue and soul-level depletion — a hidden burnout many high-performing women silently carry. If you’ve been pushing through with a smile while secretly losing your spark, this one is for you.

We unpack:

• What spiritual burnout looks like (it’s not always crying in a corner)

• How ambition can disguise anxiety and trauma responses

• Why doing more isn’t the answer — and what your soul actually needs

• The nervous system’s role in chronic overachieving

• Real, tangible ways to reconnect with joy, softness and safety

You don’t have to burn it all down to come home to yourself.
