I’m Dagmar Kusiak, Relationship Coach and creator of the BEAM (Becoming Emotionally Available Mastery) Program.

After healing from my own painful experiences with toxic relationships, I now help driven men and women break free from unhealthy patterns, build emotional availability, and cultivate thriving relationships rooted in clarity, compatibility, and communication. Because your match doesn’t start with a partner, it begins within. This podcast was created to empower people who struggle in romantic relationships to see that you can juggle work and have a healthy relationship. You will hear experience, strength, and lots of wisdom of people who show up emotionally available. You will learn their stories, their struggles, and relationship tips to break whatever is holding you back. This podcast isn't about perfection, but accepting your perfectly imperfect self and attracting emotionally available relationships.

  • The Hidden Cost of Feeling Different

    The Hidden Cost of Feeling Different
    May 28 2026

    What if feeling “different” was never the problem? In this episode of Becoming Emotionally Available, I sit down with Kenan to talk about disability, fear of judgment, emotional isolation, dating, rejection, and learning to trust your own timing instead of comparing your life to everyone else’s.

    We explore:

    • the hidden cost of feeling different
    • why people withdraw after embarrassment
    • fear of vulnerability and rejection
    • self-abandonment patterns
    • learning to stay connected instead of shutting down

    If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, emotionally behind, or afraid of being judged, this conversation will resonate deeply.

    Maybe the question isn’t:

    “What’s wrong with me?”

    Maybe it’s:

    “What gifts do I bring to the world because of what I’ve been through?”

    In this episode, we dive into honest conversations around relationships, emotional maturity, communication, and the patterns that quietly shape how we show up with others.

    My guest shares their personal experiences, challenges, and insights around navigating conflict, connection, healing, and growth — while we unpack what it really takes to build healthier relationships and have the uncomfortable conversations most people avoid.

  • The Hidden Cost of Rushing into a First Date

    The Hidden Cost of Rushing into a First Date
    Feb 6 2026
    I went on a date with a man who said all the right things, until dinner. What he said within 20 minutes revealed the biggest red flag in dating... and it shook me. But here's the real story: it's not just about him. It's about how we ignore our gut, move too fast, and call it chemistry when it's actually anxious attachment. If you've ever felt that tension between excitement and discernment, this one's for you.
