Summary
I’m recording this episode while I’m in New York, and I had one of those moments where I paused and thought, wow… I’m living the life I once barely believed was possible. I’m in a healthy, loving marriage with a partner who celebrates me and cheers me on, I have incredible friendships, and I’m doing work that truly lights me up. But the truth is, none of this would have been possible without a major identity shift.
In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly why your dating patterns don’t change until your identity changes and how shifting from an anxiously attached identity to a securely attached identity completely transforms the way you date, choose partners, and experience relationships.
Inside the episode, I’m breaking down:
- Why mindset work alone won’t change your dating patterns
- How your identity shapes the partners you attract and choose
- The core beliefs behind anxious attachment
- What securely attached people actually believe about love
If this episode resonated with you and you know it’s time to finally break these patterns, I want to invite you to apply for my Empowered.Secure.Loved. Private 1:1 Coaching Program.

| 0:43.5 | podcast. I'm your host, Dr. Morgan, and I am here in New York. I've been in Brooklyn, |
| 0:52.5 | hanging out in Soho. I've had so many amazing events going on. Lots of |
| 0:58.6 | incredible recording in studio. A big dream of mine happened yesterday. And I get goosebumps when I think |
| 1:09.5 | about this. I am living the life that I dreamed of, |
| 1:14.8 | that I could barely, barely get myself to believe was possible in 2020. I am living that |

| 2:09.8 | I have someone that trusts me, loves me, supports me, cheers me on and is not intimidated by my intelligence, by my success, |
| 2:22.9 | by my financial self. I have somebody that sees me fully, supports me, and cheers me on, |
| 2:32.1 | and does not feel like they have to shrink themselves or they're |
| 2:36.0 | threatened by my success. And I think there's so much to that, right? I know that so many successful |
| 2:44.3 | women, and this is also men too, but you can get into this place where you go, oh, but how am I going to find someone |
