Before we jump in, I’d love for you to tell our audience something that’s not online about you. What’s a surprising fact?
One thing most people don’t know is that I studied musical theater! I love to sing, though dancing isn’t my strong suit. Music is a big part of my life, and it’s something I still enjoy around the house. Another surprising fact is that I used to live a really unhealthy lifestyle. I was a pack-a-day smoker, and my health was terrible. Eventually, I realized I needed a change, and that’s when fitness and wellness became my focus. It’s funny because I studied musical theater for about five years before dropping out of college, realizing it wasn’t what I wanted to do with my life. But the creative energy stuck with me.
So you’ve always been a creative person, but when did you realize you wanted to help people with relationships?
It’s funny because I never saw myself doing this kind of work. I always thought of myself as someone struggling with my own issues, not someone others would turn to for advice. What really pushed me into this space was my own frustration. I got tired of doctors who kept pushing medication on me without really helping. My personal life fell apart in 2022—I lost my dog, my business was struggling, and I went through a breakup.
It was one of those moments where you either let the pain define you or turn it into purpose. A friend suggested I try TikTok, and at first, I was just creating content like everyone else—talking about relationships in ways that didn’t really resonate with me. Then, I started sharing how I truly felt, and people connected with it. Coaching started organically from there. People liked how I approached things and asked if I could coach them. I’ve now been coaching for about three years, but publicly for about a year and a half.
How long have you been focusing on this coaching journey?
I’ve been doing this full-time for about three years now, but it’s been more visible in the last year and a half. I started my podcast around the same time I began sharing my insights on social media. September actually marks two years since I posted my first TikTok video. It’s crazy to think that in such a short time, I was able to build a whole business just from my phone!
With your growth in the online space, have you thought about expanding into books, speaking engagements, or even TV?
Definitely! I’m already working on a book, and TV is my next big goal. We’re in talks with a few networks about hosting opportunities or even my own show. I want to reach a bigger audience because while one-on-one coaching is impactful, I can only help so many people that way. Expanding through books and TV will allow me to share what I’ve learned with a much wider audience.
“I was a girl that had so much anxiety, I didn’t know what to do with it, I couldn’t sit still, I would take 10 naps a day because I couldn’t function, I was numbing it with medication and substances, I was trying so hard, I would go on three dates, three dates a day, because I just was like, I didn’t matter with who, I just was wanting so badly to be chosen.”
I love that you talk openly about relationships and how your journey shaped your approach to love. Can you share a bit about what’s worked for you?
I’ve been through so much in terms of relationships. I used to have crippling anxiety, going on multiple dates a day, seeking validation from anyone who would give it. I dated people who weren’t good for me and tried to change them. When I finally left a narcissistic relationship, I hit rock bottom but knew I had to work on myself.
I got into therapy, did inner child work, and started regulating my emotions. By the time I met my current partner, I had learned to set boundaries and stopped tolerating low-effort behavior. That was the key for me—committing to my own growth and making space for the right person.
You mention working on yourself a lot—how did you start tapping into that deeper self-work?
I’ve always been someone who questions things, but it took me a while to truly listen to my gut. For years, anxiety spoke louder than my intuition. Once I began using meditation, breathwork, and other coping mechanisms, like walking and using sour candy to bring myself back to the present, things changed. Self-work isn’t about “fixing” yourself because you’re not broken. It’s about healing and creating space to regulate your emotions and understand your triggers.
What do you currently offer women looking to work with you or enter your programs?
I have different offerings depending on someone’s budget and needs. My podcast, The Sabrina Zohar Show, is a free resource where I dive deep into various topics and even have guest experts. You can also subscribe for bonus content. For those looking to go further, I offer online courses like the Foundation Course and the Breakup Course.
These are self-guided, lifetime-access programs packed with resources that help you get results if you’re willing to put in the work. My one-on-one coaching is more limited now because of time constraints, but the courses are a great option for those who want to invest in themselves and see real growth.
You’re very vocal about the idea of loving yourself first. What would you tell women struggling to call in the right partner?
The biggest issue I see is that women struggle with setting boundaries and pacing relationships in the beginning. Too many dive in too fast, texting and FaceTiming for hours without even meeting in person. You have to slow down and spend time with someone in real life to see how you feel *with* them, not just about them. Also, a lot of women don’t know how to regulate their emotions and communicate effectively. If you’re constantly reacting out of anxiety, it’s going to hurt the relationship. Learning how to communicate your needs clearly is essential. You can’t wait for someone to read your mind—you have to express what you want.
You’ve built such an intentional relationship with your partner. How do you two continue to grow together?
Communication is everything for us. We both see individual therapists and make sure to have open, honest conversations regularly. We also schedule time for intimacy, have weekly date nights, and make sure to spend quality, phone-free time together. We’re very intentional about protecting our relationship because we both work together and know how easy it is to lose sight of each other if we don’t put in the effort.
Before we wrap up, what’s next for you? Any exciting projects or manifestations you’re working on?
Right now, I’m manifesting growth for my podcast, aiming to make it one of the top 10 podcasts in the world. I also want to continue helping people on a larger scale by becoming a go-to expert in relationships and dating. That’s my big focus—helping as many people as I can find the love they truly deserve.
