You're listening to On Attachment, a place to learn about how attachment shapes the way we experience relationships and where you'll gain the guidance, knowledge and practical tools to overcome insecurity and build healthy, thriving relationships.

I'm your host, relationship coach Stephanie Rigg,

and I'm really glad you're here. Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of On Attachment.

side, at least from my point of view, that I think is not particularly helpful. I'm hoping

will be supportive for you. So that's what we're doing in today's episode. Before we

dive into that, a couple of quick announcements. The first one is a happy announcement, I hope,

for those of you who love the show, we're actually going to be shifting to two episodes a week

from this week. So there'll be the regular episode on a Wednesday, Tuesday, if you're in the

Northern Hemisphere. And another episode on a Friday, or Thursday, again, if you're in the Northern Hemisphere, and another episode on a Friday,
