Certified hypnotherapist and founder of The Magnetic Queen, Shana Richardson, joins Charlene on Cheers to Great Love for a deeply healing and eye-opening conversation about why so many women keep repeating the same patterns in love, and what it actually takes to change them. Shana breaks down how your subconscious mind, not your conscious desires, is choosing who you attract and how you show up in relationships.

She explains the difference between subconscious patterns and talk therapy, what secure attachment really means, and why women who have done years of personal development still find themselves stuck in the same cycles.
