Summary

Today’s episode is such a special one. I’m sitting down with one of our incredible ESL graduates, Carlina, whose story of healing, sobriety, self-discovery, and stepping into secure, emotionally available love will move you to your core. If you’ve ever struggled with repeating relationship patterns, feeling “too much,” navigating disorganized attachment, or doubting whether secure love is possible for you… this conversation will give you so much hope. Carlina gets incredibly vulnerable about breaking cycles, building belief in herself, healing family relationships, and attracting a securely attached partner who meets her with patience, consistency, and kindness. You won’t want to miss this one.

Inside the episode, we cover:

How disorganized attachment, numbing, and girl-bossing into avoidance kept Carlina stuck in the same cycles and the moment she decided she couldn’t do it anymore.
The exact beliefs she rewired inside the program (including “I’m too much” and “I’ll always be left behind”) and how that opened the door to healthy, secure partnership.
What it feels like to date someone emotionally available, patient, consistent—and how secure love allowed her to soften, receive, and be her authentic self.

If Carlina’s journey spoke to you and you’re feeling that pull… this is your sign. The Empowered.Secure.Loved. Program is closing applications THIS YEAR, and once doors close, they are closed. If you’re ready to stop repeating patterns, heal at the root, and finally step into the love and life you deserve, now is the time to apply.

👉 Apply now using the link in the show notes spots are filling and this is your last chance before doors close.

You are so worthy of secure love.

You are so worthy of healing.

And your future self will thank you for taking this step. 💛
