Lauren Salaun — transformational facilitator, somatic coach, and feminine embodiment expert — joins Kelly to break down a pattern many successful women quietly experience: feeling accomplished in life but frustrated in love. Together, they explore why dating can feel unexpectedly difficult for high-achieving women and what may actually be happening beneath the surface.
From nervous system regulation to emotional energy, Kelly and Lauren discuss the subtle ways survival mode, over-functioning, and identity shape romantic dynamics. They also tackle the often-misunderstood topic of feminine and masculine energy, offering a refreshing take that avoids clichés and rigid gender rules.
If you’ve ever questioned your standards, your attraction patterns, or why dating feels energetically exhausting, this conversation reframes the narrative.
