Actress and author Sarah Shahi joins Jillian for an unfiltered conversation about heartbreak, childhood wounds, and the patterns that shape the way we love. Sarah shares the painful story of her upbringing, how it led her to chase emotionally unavailable partners, and the turning point that forced her to change how she shows up in relationships.
They talk about people-pleasing, why difficult conversations are essential for real intimacy, and the moment you realize you deserve emotional safety—not uncertainty.
Sarah also discusses her book Life Is Lifey and the lessons she learned about choosing partners from a place of honesty and self-respect.
