Speak Honest About Attachment Styles, Relationship Challenges, and Emotional Healing From Childhood Trauma
02/19/25 • 35 min
Ever put in the effort to feel sexy for your partner, only to feel totally unseen? That’s exactly what happened to Jenna. She got all dressed up, expecting a reaction that never came. Instead, she got a casual “You look cute.” And just like that... BAM—hurt feelings, a major argument, and a downward spiral of insecurity.
But here’s the twist—Jenna and her boyfriend actually started working through it before our session. And in this coaching call, we go even deeper. We unpack covert expectations, the anxious-avoidant cycle, and how to communicate your needs without setting yourself up for disappointment.
You might want to listen if:
- You’ve ever felt rejected or unappreciated in your relationship
- You struggle to communicate your needs without it turning into a fight
- You feel like your partner just doesn’t get it when it comes to emotional connection
- You catch yourself overanalyzing your partner’s reactions and spiraling into self-doubt

05: How to Balance Attachment and Independence in Relationships
Speak Honest About Attachment Styles, Relationship Challenges, and Emotional Healing From Childhood Trauma
03/06/24 • 14 min
Today we're getting into the nitty-gritty of how our attachment styles—be it secure, anxious, avoidant, or even disorganized—shape the way we juggle needing others and standing on our own two feet in our relationships. We're talking about what it means to lean on someone just the right amount, how to spot when it's tipping into codependency, or when we're pulling away too much because of our attachment vibes. I've got some real-life stories to make sense of all this and to show why getting a handle on our attachment styles can seriously up our relationship game. We're also diving into this cool Theory called relational dialectics—think of it as the push and pull between wanting to be super close and needing our space. Plus, I'm here to cheer you on to explore your own attachment style and find ways to smooth out the ride in your relationships with a big dollop of openness, respect, and, you guessed it, honesty. Let's get to it!
