You know those moments when you KNOW you’re self-sabotaging, you feel the same triggers come up in every relationship, or you second-guess if you’re “too much” or “not enough”… but you can’t figure out WHY? Girl, you are not alone.
Today we are diving into the juicy, sometimes messy, but always REAL world of attachment styles… with none other than the legend herself, Thais Gibson, queen of making neuroscience and relationships make SENSE.
I’m coming for every anxious thought, every “do I text him back or run for the hills?” crisis, and all things Girl Gang growth. Plus, Thais is giving you the science and practical quiz to decode your attachment style, as we do it together, live and in real time.
No therapy jargon here. We talk:
Real-life family drama (We get deep on the Brooklyn Beckham controversy)
What to do when YOU’RE the one with the avoidant, anxious, or even fearful avoidant traits (spoiler: you can change, homie)
The messy process of setting boundaries (and accidentally overreacting, then feeling guilty #beenthere)
The difference between a dismissive avoidant and a narcissist (it’s not the same and we break it DOWN)
Why you keep attracting the same toxic relationships (and what to actually do about it, step by step)
How to rewire your attachment style… even if it feels impossible after years of baggage and bear-in-the-woods-level triggers (if you know, you know)
If you want to finally understand yourself, your partners, and stop the self-sabotage spiral, this episode is your roadmap. Say goodbye to drama and hello to high-value relationships and self-love.

Ready for the real talk? In part two, Dr. Spirit and Lisa Bilyeu get even deeper, unpacking the emotional rollercoaster of love, boundaries, and all those “why does he DO that?!” questions you’ve probably vented about to your girlfriends.

In this gripping episode of Women of Impact, I want you to think about how much your own words or insecurities, pains and traumas have been used against you to keep you under control.
Today, I’m joining forces with psychologist Mariel Buque to tackle the topic of manipulation head-on. Mariel, who went through a two-year grieving process after escaping a toxic relationship herself, shares her insights on shutting down toxic people. From recognizing the signs of manipulation to standing up for yourself without losing control, Mariel doubles down on the kind of advice that can help you finally break these toxic cycles.
“We may never actually get any kind of ‘I’m sorry’, any kind of validation for our experiences, and so what we need to do is move on and find ourselves yet again.” -Mariel Buque
Discover the tricks and tactics of controlling partners, the impact of gaslighting, and effective strategies to reclaim your power. If you're tired of being manipulated and want to break free from toxic cycles, this episode is a must-listen.
And be sure to check out part 2 of this life-changing conversation. We move from unpacking the control game manipulators play to setting up manipulator proof boundaries that will help you move accordingly once you’re free.
