#148 Sadia Khan – The Brutal Truth About Modern Relationships
Kickoff Sessions
05/10/23 • 91 min
In the first episode of the Dubai series, I had the pleasure of speaking with Sadia Khan, a relationship coach therapist who is professionally trained in helping people build better relationships. She helps individuals and couples to improve their communication, intimacy, and conflict resolution skills to help them reconnect.
During our conversation, Sadia shared her insights on the brutal truth about modern relationships, including leading indicators to divorce, setting boundaries in a relationship, managing friendships and relationships, and the impact of social media on beauty standards and competition among men. We also delved into the topics of OnlyFans, the red pill community, and the psychological impact of having multiple partners.
We also explored her views on whether marriage is necessary, why women want to fix the ‘bad guy,’ and whether females only want men with money. In addition, Sadia shared her thoughts on what men and women find attractive, the role of a man in a relationship, and whether everyone should have children.
