Angie Martinez highlights the significance of alternative healing methods such as meditation, Reiki, energy healing, and manifestation in her personal growth and spiritual journey. She delves into the impact of childhood attachment experiences on adult relationships, elucidating different attachment styles—anxious, avoidant, disorganized, and secure—and their influence on one's relational dynamics. Angie underscores that one does not need to be fully secure to cultivate a healthy relationship; having a secure partner can facilitate personal growth and security. Emphasizing self-love and self-respect, Angela encourages individuals, especially women, to align their behaviours with personal values to foster secure relationships. Angie views sabotaging behaviours as signals of unmet needs, advocating for self-awareness and adaptive coping mechanisms, and uses meditation and EFT tapping to realign with her true self based on her human design.

Key Takeaways:

Understanding attachment styles, such as anxious, avoidant, disorganized, and secure, can provide insights into relationships.
- Transitioning from anxious attachment styles to secure ones within relationships can be accelerated by being with a secure partner.
- Enhancing security within relationships involves self-discovery, self-respect, and aligning behaviours with personal values.
- Sabotaging behaviours can indicate unmet needs and offer opportunities for growth and self-awareness.
- Recognizing when one is out of alignment based on human design and frustration level can help realign with true self through meditation and EFT tapping.
Self-awareness and proactive approaches are key to addressing overwhelm and lack of focus by tuning into one's body and emotions.

In this episode, Ty shares his lessons in hardship, acceptance & self-discovery and how you can get through to reap the blessings.

TY HUNTER is a Stylist, creative director and author. He became a significant force in the fashion industry as he helped shape an entire generation of fashionistas through his role as Beyoncé’s stylist for 18 years. Hunter has gone on to design his own collections and has shown them at New York Fashion Week. His design career continues with a collaboration with A.Cloud. He recently joined forces with one of the most exciting names in fashion today when he became Billy Porter’s head stylist and creative director.

For two decades, stylist Ty Hunter has created some of the most iconic and talked about looks on the red carpet, at top-tier events, in global hit music videos, and for the most extensive concert tours on earth. But suppose you ask his stellar clients such as Rosario Dawson and Naomi Campbell. In that case, they will tell you that Hunter is also a trusted friend, close confidant, and inspiring force who, as Kelly Osbourne says, “is that rare breed of human who is equally kind and talented.”

In his memoir, MAKEOVER FROM WITHIN: LESSONS IN HARDSHIP, ACCEPTANCE, AND SELF-DISCOVERY, Ty Hunter shares his journey that brought him from humble beginnings to the top of his field and made him a trusted influencer to fans around the world. From his Texas country youth through struggles that tested him physically, mentally and emotionally, causing him to re-evaluate his beliefs and self-identity, to pivotal moments in his career that inspired him to grow and transform, Ty’s positivity and perseverance will inspire anyone who yearns to find their place but isn’t sure exactly how.

We discussed:

  • Growing up with a single mother and caring for her during her journey with breast cancer.
  • Having both parents diagnosed with cancer around the same time and how it shaped him.
  • Not accepting the labels society places on you and learning to accept yourself.
  • The benefits of fasting (Sacrifice, disciple, and clarity equal control)
  • Having a severe wake-up call after being shot from a case of mistaken identity
  • Learning to say NO
  • And much more!
