I am getting very real with you today about the importance of healing your inner child, and where to start. Inside today’s episode: I realized that unhealed childhood wounds were quietly shaping how I showed up in dating, and not in a good way. Emotional dysregulation, low self-worth, and seeking external validation were all signs that my inner child was running the show.I had to learn how to reparent myself; meeting the needs of my inner child with compassion, safety, and validation, so I could stop projecting old wounds onto new partners.Doing the inner child work was the key to becoming securely attached and finally embodying the type of partner who attracts secure partners. If this episode spoke to you, it’s time to take ownership of your healing. 🩵Click Here to Apply Now to the Empowered.Secure.Loved.

🥳 Episode Links:Apply to the E.S.L. Program HereIn this episode, I’m getting real with you about something I see far too often; confusing desire for capacity. Just because someone wants a relationship doesn’t mean they have the tools, healing, or emotional availability to actually maintain one. I break down the difference between desire and capacity, how your attachment style impacts what you tolerate, and the importance of reality testing and emotional self-awareness. We also explore why healing your past is non-negotiable if you want secure love, and how your self-worth sets the foundation for what you allow and attract in relationships.Inside today’s episode: You can deeply desire love and still not have the capacity for a healthy relationship—capacity requires healing, emotional availability, and secure attachment.Actions always speak louder than words—someone's behavior will tell you everything you need to know about their readiness.Self-worth is the foundation for choosing partners who are capable, attuned, and aligned with your needs; secure attachment begins with you.If this episode spoke to you, it’s time to take ownership of your healing. 🩵Click Here to Apply Now to the Empowered.Secure.Loved.

🥳 Episode Links:Apply to the E.S.L. Program HereI’m fired up about this one. There’s so much noise online about avoidant attachment—so many posts shaming people for needing space or teaching you how to “get the avoidant back.” And honestly? It’s damaging. In this episode, I’m breaking down what avoidant attachment really is, where it comes from, and how blame blocks healing—for everyone.Avoidant attachment isn’t the villain. It’s a response to deep pain, often from early relational trauma. And when we reduce people to labels or chase them to validate our own wounds, we miss the bigger picture. If you’ve ever felt hurt by someone with avoidant patterns—or if that’s you—this episode will shift your perspective and bring some compassion into the healing process.Three Key Takeaways:Avoidant behaviors are rooted in past trauma, not personal rejection—they’re about survival, not a lack of love.Secure attachment is something we learn—and modeling it (instead of blaming or chasing) is how we create safety and change.Online advice that triggers urgency or shame is often just manipulation in disguise—real healing means tuning into your own emotions, not trying to control someone else’s.Ready to break the cycle for good?If you’re done with blame, confusion, and relationships that leave you feeling empty, apply now to the Empowered.Secure.Loved.
