Summary

If you’ve done all the work, read the books, saved the posts, listened to the podcasts, and yet you’re still ending up in the same relationship patterns, this episode is for you. I’m sharing the truths about attachment, dating, and healing that are often avoided because they’re uncomfortable… but they’re also the ones that actually create change. This is a grounded, compassionate, no-fluff episode about what’s really keeping you stuck and what it actually takes to embody secure attachment and create healthy love.

Inside the episode:

Why you didn’t choose your attachment style — and why it’s still your responsibility to heal it
The hard truths about chemistry, emotionally unavailable partners, and behaviors that unintentionally push healthy love away
Why intellectual insight alone doesn’t heal attachment wounds — and what does lead to real, embodied change

If you’re tired of repeating cycles, outsourcing your healing, or waiting for the “right person” to fix things, this episode will help you see attachment, and yourself, in a completely new way.
