Summary
Welcome back to a new season of the Sinead Says Podcast. So much has changed, and today I’m finally sharing my full engagement story!
It still FEELS wild saying that. I never thought I’d be this girl: engaged, pregnant, and actually excited to plan a wedding!!
In this episode, I talk about:
✨ How therapy helped me heal my fear of commitment
✨ Why I used to believe I’d never get married
✨ How Sam proposed (spoiler: I definitely didn’t expect it)
✨ What healing an avoidant attachment style really looks like
✨ The wild engagement story—from Miami sunsets to tears on a boat
If you’ve ever struggled with letting yourself fully love someone, or you’re scared of commitment, I get it. I used to run from love because vulnerability terrified me. This story is proof that when you heal, love finds you in the most unexpected way.
Grab your tea, settle in, and let’s dive into the engagement story you’ve all been waiting for.
✨✨
