Summary

Ever feel anxious even when a new connection is going well? In this episode, I break down why that happens, how to tell the difference between intuition & overthinking, & what to do when your attachment system gets loud. I share my own story, practical tools to calm anxiety, and how to navigate dating someone who feels this way too. At the end, I answer a dating dilemma from a woman who's unsure about her partner of 6 months.
