Bloom is a podcast for highly sensitive people who want to lead change by defying the norm. Be inspired by successful highly-sensitive change makers that have an impact that matters. Be encouraged by individuals that have overcome adversities, made empowering choices and use their talents to make the world a better place.
Love can be both a blessing and a vulnerability—especially for those shaped by displacement, instability, or early emotional wounds.
In this episode, I speak with Zoey Charif, author of Love Can, In Fact, Be Calculated, about her unique “love formula”—a framework for understanding compatibility through self-awareness, values, and trait preferences.
We explore how many sensitive people fall into distortion patterns, like self-sacrifice, that lead to unbalanced or painful relationships. Zoey explains the crucial difference between values (what you aspire to) and traits (inherent qualities), and how both influence attraction.
With deep personal insight and analytical clarity, she shows how healing is possible when we reflect honestly on our past, rewire our patterns, and choose partners who meet us with real safety and respect.
