In this candid episode of Holistic Dose, hosts Tiffany and Jeanette sit down with licensed therapist Dr. Tavari Brown to unpack the complex world of attachment theory—and how it shows up not only in childhood but also in midlife, parenting, friendships, and the workplace. From John Bowlby’s foundational research to Mary Ainsworth’s “strange situation” studies, Dr. Brown explains the origins of secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment styles. Together, they explore how these early patterns play out in adulthood, especially during life transitions like divorce, burnout, reinvention, and parenting challenges. Whether you’ve wondered why you crave reassurance, avoid closeness, or struggle with codependency, this episode offers practical tools for building healthier, more secure relationships. Key Topics Covered • The history of attachment theory — Bowlby, Ainsworth, and beyond • How early caregiver dynamics shape attachment styles • Can attachment styles change in adulthood (and how)? • The link between attachment and love languages • Parenting after divorce & anxious attachment in children • How attachment shows up in the workplace and friendships • Practical steps to move toward secure attachment • Red flags vs. green flags in relationships • Reflections on the Netflix documentary Unknown Number: The High School Catfish and real-world implications Guest Dr. Tavari Brown – Licensed therapist and relationship expert helping individuals and couples understand their attachment patterns, love languages, and emotional needs.

In this candid and unfiltered conversation, Tiffany and Jeanette pull back the curtain on one of the most persistent myths we’ve all grown up with — the idea of a “perfect partner.” From Christian romance novels and Disney fairy tales to pop culture love stories and 90s rom-coms, society has fed us a steady diet of unrealistic expectations about relationships. Jeanette opens up about her early marriage to a Baptist minister, the red flags she ignored, and the painful discoveries that shattered her “God will bring me the one” belief. Tiffany reflects on her own upbringing, the media influences of the 80s and 90s, and what she’s learned from divorce, parenting, and now midlife reinvention. Together, they explore how chemistry fades, why compatibility matters, and why perfection in relationships is not only unrealistic but also exhausting. They also dive into: How religious upbringing and cultural scripts shape our partner expectations Why early marriages often unravel due to mismatched values The dangers of romanticizing “soulmates” and “You complete me” narratives How social media distorts reality with picture-perfect portrayals of relationships Why flaws, authenticity, and shared goals matter more than fairy tale ideals Redefining partnership in midlife: beyond marriage, contracts, or outdated norms By the end, you’ll walk away with a refreshing perspective: love isn’t about finding “the one” — it’s about building authentic connection, embracing imperfections, and creating space for growth. Key Quotes “A lot of the beauty in life is in the mess. Perfection in a way is kind of sad.” “Chemistry doesn’t sustain a marriage; compatibility and shared values do.” “If you can’t name your partner’s flaws, you don’t really know them yet.” “Happiness is not about perfection—it’s about connection, acceptance, and growth.” Resources & Mentions 📚 Christian romance novels by Janet Oake 🎬 Movies: The Notebook, Jerry Maguire, Pretty Woman, Notting Hill 🎶 90s boy bands: Backstreet Boys, NSYNC 💻 Social Media & relationship pressures Connect with Us 👉 Follow Holistic Dose on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube: @aholisticdose 👉 Visit our website: aholisticdose.com 👉 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen! ✨ If today’s episode reminded you that the “perfect partner” is really just a myth, we’d love for you to keep unpacking more of these real-life truths with us.
In this candid and empowering conversation, Tiffany and Jeanette dive deep into the realities of navigating life transitions like divorce, career pivots, or financial setbacks while learning how to live well on less. With unfiltered honesty and plenty of practical tips, they share their own personal stories of budgeting, cutting back without sacrificing joy, and building resilience during tough seasons. Listeners will discover strategies like the envelope system, creative side hustles, housing hacks, grocery savings, and even beauty and lifestyle tricks that keep life fun without breaking the bank. The episode is a reminder that budgeting is not about restriction, it is about creating room for what comes next in your life.    Key Topics Covered: • Why budgeting during life transitions matters such as divorce, new business, or career changes • The classic envelope system and how to modernize it with multiple accounts or apps • Housing hacks like roommates, downsizing, or renting out part of your home • Grocery savings through Aldi, Trader Joe’s, meal planning, and stocking up smartly • Beauty and style on a budget with affordable stylists, makeup dupes, and thrifting • Teaching kids financial awareness through fun and affordable activities • Creative side hustles and bartering such as flipping products, freelancing, and consignment sales • Why budgeting is about freedom, not restriction Memorable Takeaways: ✨ Budgeting isn’t about holding yourself back, it’s about creating space for what you want next. ✨ Sometimes the smartest move isn’t to hold onto the big house, but to downsize or share space temporarily. ✨ Living on less doesn’t mean living with less joy. You can still have fun, travel, and feel abundant.   Links and Resources mentioned: • Book: Profit First by Mike Michalowicz (envelope-style system for businesses) • Apps: Oportun App, Instacart app, WhatNot app, Thread Up, Depop   📲 Connect With Us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aholisticdose TikTok: /aholisticdose Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aholisticdose Share this episode with a friend who is rebuilding and ready for their comeback season 🌐 Visit our website: https://www.aholisticdose.com   Hosted by Tiffany Castillo & Jeanette Soltys 🔔 Subscribe for real talk, budgeting tips, and unfiltered friendship every week.   🔍 Top Searched Keywords: budgeting tips for life transitions living well on less envelope budgeting system meal planning to save money affordable beauty services side hustles for extra income financial wellness strategies managing expenses after divorce creative budgeting methods saving money on groceries income-boosting ideas financial tips for single moms networking for financial support finding community resources budgeting for new beginnings money management for midlife thrift shopping tips smart spending habits financial planning for families overcoming financial challenges Hashtags: #BudgetingTips #LivingWellOnLess #FinancialWellness #SingleMomLife #SmartSpending

This conversation is shared with the utmost respect and sensitivity. Listener discretion is advised. In this deeply personal and emotionally rich episode of A Holistic Dose, Tiffany opens up for the first time about a traumatic chapter in her life—navigating a devastating prenatal diagnosis, a decision that no mother ever imagines making, and the unexpected moments of grace that surrounded it. At six months pregnant with her second child, Tiffany learned her unborn son had Tuberous Sclerosis Complex—a rare, life-threatening genetic disorder. With limited medical options due to restrictive state laws and the severity of the diagnosis, Tiffany was forced to make an unthinkable decision that ultimately took her out of state, into the care of the late Dr. LeRoy Carhart, one of only two doctors in the country trained and willing to help. This episode is about more than loss. It's about love—the love of a mother who showed up when it mattered, the compassion of a medical provider who risked everything for women’s health, and the beginning of a friendship with her now co-host, who offered one of the most thoughtful gestures in Tiffany’s darkest hour. With raw honesty, education, and tenderness, this episode holds space for anyone who has experienced grief, felt alone in their decisions, or simply needed to hear that they are not alone. Key Points Covered: Tiffany's pregnancy journey and the unexpected challenges she faced. Insights into the emotional impact of medical trauma, specifically, Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC).
