Summary

You might know all about attachment theory, the terms, the styles, the patterns, but if your relationships haven’t truly changed, you may be stuck in self-awareness instead of secure embodiment. In this episode, I’m giving you some loving tough truth about why awareness alone won’t create transformation, and how to finally step into the identity shift that allows you to become securely attached.

Inside the episode, I share:

Why intellectualizing your healing can be a sneaky form of control (and how it holds you back).
The key practices that help you regulate your nervous system so you can respond, not react, in relationships.
How to move from awareness into embodiment, creating the identity shift that allows you to show up as the securely attached version of you.

And quick reminder, today is the very last day to grab the Secure.Soft.Magnetic Private Podcast for just $7 with code SECURESEPT. If you haven’t gotten it yet, don’t miss out!
