Manage episode 505320954 series 3618577
Remember those red flats from my 20s (that probably STILL get overthought if not addressedâŠ)?
The ones I wore on a first date, nervously texting back and overthinking every move?
That was me before I started healing my anxious attachment. In this episode, I share 5 things I would NEVER do again as my securely attached self and the lessons that came from years of dating, heartbreak, and self-discovery.
I dive into letting go of people-pleasing, chasing connection, and believing every anxious thought meant danger, and what I do now instead to show up confidently in love, friendships, and even with family.
If youâve struggled with anxious attachment, overthinking texts, or feeling âtoo muchâ in relationships, this episode is your guide to showing up securely, honoring your needs, and trusting yourself in love.
