Why do so many smart, successful, self-aware women still find themselves single, stuck in situationships, or repeating the same painful relationship cycles?
In this unapologetically honest episode of Sex, Love & Money, Rebecca Antonucci sits down with Anna Krystyna and Megan Thoma for a deep, no-filter conversation about the hidden patterns that keep high-achieving women unfulfilled in love.
From cheating and shame to codependency, nervous system work and self-abandonment, this conversation goes far beyond dating advice. It’s about healing the parts of us that learned love meant losing ourselves.
Together, they unpack what it really means to be ready for love, not just want it, and how to stop waiting for the man and start dancing in your own aliveness.
They cover:
Why successful women often struggle to attract healthy love
The truth about cheating, shame and feminine conditioning
How independence can become emotional avoidance
Why your nervous system decides who feels “safe”
The difference between wanting love and being ready for it
The feminine wound of control, rage and resentment
What true emotional readiness looks like in the body
How to soften without losing your power
