Why Do You Still Think About That One Person Who Broke Your Heart?
Dive into this thought-provoking episode of The Love Machine, where James Preece sits down with Italian film publicist and author Carmen Audino to unravel the mysteries behind irresistible attraction and why so many of us get stuck in the "cool girl" cage.
You'll hear about the quirky origins of Carmen's self help journey, how pop culture like Netflix’s "You" sheds light on toxic relationships, and what it truly means to embrace your emotions instead of shrinking yourself to be chosen.
Expect honest, empowering advice on rebuilding self worth, escaping old patterns, and forging healthy, mutual relationships.
If the cool girl concept, attachment styles or the psychology behind authentic attraction sparks your curiosity, you won't want to miss these soul-searching chats.
Tune in and get inspired to attract love that feels real, calm and genuinely rewarding.
