What if the real test of love isn’t passion, but safety? In today’s episode, Emilia and Alan break down the difference between feeling comfortable and being safe. They reveal the top three signs you’re in an unsafe relationship, the cues your body gives when something feels “off,” and how to stop overriding your intuition. From unmet needs to emotional neglect, they explain how safety starts with awareness and grows through repair, not perfection. Whether you’re single or partnered, this episode will help you identify what a safe relationship feels like and how to build one grounded in trust, vulnerability, and calm. Don’t just settle for chemistry. Learn what safety really feels like. Hit play and find out.
