Description

You know that feeling - you send a message, see the “delivered” sign, and then… nothing. Minutes turn into hours, your chest tightens, and your mind starts spinning stories: Did I say something wrong? Are they losing interest?

In this episode, I unpack what’s really happening beneath that spiral: How your nervous system interprets silence as danger, how early attachment wounds get activated, and why the urge to fix, chase, or overanalyze only fuels the anxiety.

We’ll talk about what not to do (like rereading texts or crafting the perfect follow-up message) and explore what a secure response actually looks like - one that calms your body, reclaims your power, and keeps you rooted in self-worth rather than waiting for reassurance.

If you’ve ever felt your stomach drop over a message left unread, this conversation will help you understand the deeper layers behind that reaction and show you how to meet it with compassion, regulation, and clarity instead of panic.
