This episode is about why the hottest connections are usually the most broken ones.

In LA, attraction is everywhere—perfect bodies, curated lifestyles, endless options. But underneath the yoga pants, cold plunges, and rooftop cocktails is something way less glamorous: love addiction and unhealed childhood trauma.

In this episode of The Three Mantras Podcast, I break down:
• Why sexual chemistry is often trauma responding to trauma
• How emotionally unavailable people find each other effortlessly
• Why intensity feels like intimacy—but never lasts
• The cycle of attraction, sex, distance, and collapse
• Why LA dating rewards desire, not depth

These relationships look incredible on Instagram.
They feel electric in bed.
And they implode the moment real emotional safety is required.

If you keep attracting unavailable partners…
If passion keeps replacing peace…
If the connection is hot but unstable…

This episode explains why—and how to stop mistaking chaos for love.

In this episode of The Three Mantras Podcast, we dive into an honest conversation about the overlap between mental health and addiction, and how easily one can be mistaken for the other. So many of us have used “mental health” as a shield because it feels more acceptable, more sympathetic, and less confronting than acknowledging patterns of addiction. But when we blur the lines, we delay the real help and healing we need.

This discussion explores self-awareness, accountability, and the courage it takes to stop hiding behind a label that protects us from the truth. It’s about understanding our own motivations, recognizing when we are avoiding something deeper, and learning to face what we fear with integrity and compassion. If you’ve ever struggled to tell the difference between when you’re taking care of yourself and when you’re avoiding yourself, this episode is for you.

This week on The Three Mantras Podcast, I talk about something we’ve almost forgotten how to do in today’s world: loving confrontation.

Not shaming.

Not canceling.

Not silence.

But the kind of honest, compassionate truth-telling that actually helps people get better.

In an age where addiction, overdose, and quiet suffering are everywhere, avoiding hard conversations doesn’t protect anyone — it isolates them. Growth doesn’t happen without reflection, and reflection often requires someone who cares enough to speak up.

As I head to Boston during Christmas week, this episode feels especially timely. The holidays bring love, memory, grief, and truth to the surface. This is a reminder that accountability and compassion can — and must — coexist.

If we really love people, we don’t abandon them to comfort.

We stay present.

We tell the truth.

And we do it with love.
