Description

So many women struggle to feel truly safe in their relationships, even when everything "should" feel fine. In this episode, Veronica talks with psychotherapist and bestselling author Jessica Baum about why your body might still brace for abandonment, why love can feel overwhelming or distant, and how early attachment patterns quietly shape the way you show up with your partner today. Jessica breaks down anxious, avoidant, and disorganized attachment in a way that finally makes sense—and explains why your reactions aren't dramatic, irrational, or broken. They're protective.

Together, Veronica and Jessica dive into abandonment wounds, emotional neglect, earned security, and what it really takes to build safe, connected relationships as an adult. If you've ever wondered why you keep repeating the same painful dynamics or why closeness can feel terrifying, this conversation will help you understand your emotional blueprint and start rewriting it.
