Summary

Oh my gosh… this episode is SUCH an important one. I’m breaking down the brand-new research on attachment trends for 2025, and I’m giving you a full masterclass on the four attachment styles: anxious, avoidant, disorganized (fearful avoidant), and secure.

Whether you’re brand new here or you’ve been with me since the early days, this is a must-listen episode for anyone who cares about their emotional health, their relationships, and their growth in 2025 and beyond.

Inside the Episode:

Why our hyper-digital, overstimulated, exhausted world is fueling a major spike in avoidant attachment.
The three non-negotiables you must understand if you want to change your attachment style—plus the four intentional steps to actually rewire your brain for secure love.
A deep dive into the “functional avoidant”—how to spot it, how it develops, and how to heal if this is your pattern.

If you’re tired of repeating the same relational cycles… if you’re done feeling disconnected or shut down… if you’re ready to move out of insecurity (or being a functional avoidant) and into true emotional availability and safety—this episode is your blueprint.

And here’s the truth I need you to hear:

Your past does not determine your future relationships.

You get to choose secure love.

If you know you need a clear, proven framework to help you make that shift, the Empowered. Secure. Loved. Program is where that transformation happens.
