In this deeply vulnerable episode of Let’s Get Vulnerable, I sit down with Coach Isabella, a powerful graduate of the ESL program and now one of our incredible coaches.

Isabella shares her raw and inspiring journey of healing from avoidant and disorganized attachment styles, the role childhood played in shaping her patterns, and how she learned to fully show up for herself and her relationships.

This conversation is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt stuck in cycles they didn’t choose, but are ready to change. 🩵

Inside today’s episode:

Isabella shares her vulnerable journey from avoidant attachment style to becoming secure (including her: “I’m done, this pattern stops with me)
We explore how breaking generational trauma starts with becoming conscious of the relationship patterns you inherited; and choosing differently.
Healing means learning to walk away from dysfunction and finally choosing yourself, even when it’s uncomfortable.
The path to secure love begins when you stop abandoning your needs and start showing up for the version of you that deserves more.

I want to invite you to stop your patterns of unhealthy relationships and finally choose yourself. You deserve to do the inner work that will support you in becoming securely attached, so you can easily attract the relationships you deserve.
