    Finally Dating a Good Guy but Feeling Anxious

    In this episode, we explore what happens when you finally meet a good, emotionally available man, but your anxious attachment starts to panic.

    We talk about why healthy love can feel unsafe when you’re used to chaos, inconsistency, or having to prove your worth in relationships. You’ll learn how to recognize when your nervous system is reacting to safety as unfamiliar, and how to start soothing that part of you that expects love to be hard.

    This conversation also touches on the difference between genuine connection and emotional intensity, and how to stay grounded when you want to run, overthink, or self-sabotage.

    Enjoy this episode 🙏🏼.

    Breaking the Toxic Pattern of Productivity as Self Worth

    In this episode, we dive into the toxic cycle of tying our value to how much we achieve or produce and why it pushes away healthy love.

    We talk about what happens when our reality revolves around being busy, rather than being fulfilled. And how women suffer when pleasure, joy, and creativity fall to the bottom of the list.

    This conversation also explores how perfectionism and the need for control can pull us further from ourselves.

    Enjoy!

    Releasing Anxiety from the Body

    Release anxious energy on every level, from shifting your perspective to completing the stress cycle, holding discomfort, and using somatic practices to create real relief.

    I explore how to release anxiety on every level: the mental layer (shifting perspectives and letting go of rigid expectations), the physical layer (rest, hormones, and completing the stress cycle), the emotional layer (building the capacity to hold discomfort), and the subconscious layer (somatic practices and parts work).

    Psychology of the Inner Critic: Releasing Negative Beliefs

    The inner critic and negative self-talk often feels like our own voice, but many of its harsh words aren’t truly yours. In this episode, I unpack how limiting beliefs get handed down through parents, teachers, and society, and how even one painful comment can loop in the mind as self-criticism. You’ll also learn how projections shape the way you see yourself and others, and I’ll guide you through a simple questioning process to dismantle unhelpful beliefs so you can move toward a kinder inner dialogue.

    In this episode, you’ll:

    • Discover how the inner critic is formed and why it speaks so harshly.
    • Learn how projections influence your beliefs about yourself.
    • Explore a practical questioning process to dissolve negative self-talk.

    Trauma Explained: How Your Mind and Body Hold (and Heal) the Past

    Trauma isn’t only about life-threatening events, it’s also the smaller wounds and unmet needs that shape how we think, feel, and protect ourselves.

    In this episode, we explore the layers of the mind (conscious, subconscious, unconscious), the difference between Big T and Little T trauma, and the trauma response or defense systems that develop as a result.

    You’ll learn how the body holds these memories and why healing through somatic work can feel surprisingly safe and natural.

    Discovering Your Core Needs (+Somatic Practice)

    One of the most powerful things you can do on your healing journey is get good at knowing and trusting what you need — not what you were told to need, not what you think you should need, but what your body and heart are truly craving.

    This episode answers a question from a Becoming Secure Community Member who asked: “How do I even know what my core needs are? And once I do… how can I meet them on my own?”

    Together, we explore:

    • Neediness versus Needs
    • When to meet your own needs and when to ask for your needs to be met
    • Discovering your deeper emotional or relational needs
    • How to reconnect to your needs through your body
    • Core needs in the realms of intimacy, sex, safety, self-expression, and relationships
    • The connection between your needs and your values

    This episode also includes a somatic practice to help you tune in and feel your needs rather than just think about them. You’ll walk away with clarity, direction, and a deeper sense of connection to your inner world.

    Why You Struggle to Receive (Even Though You Want Love)

    In this episode, I’m talking about why receiving often feels uncomfortable — especially for women with anxious attachment — and how this survival pattern shows up in your body and your relationships.

    We’ll explore:

    • Why high-functioning women resist support
    • The somatic signs you’re in survival mode
    • How childhood patterns shaped your ability to receive
    • What it really takes to let love land

    And if you’re ready to shift this not just in your mind, but in your body — join me for my upcoming live workshop: Held – Letting Love In. In the Becoming Secure Membership.

    In the workshop we go deep into the somatic healing needed to turn off survival mode and turn on your capacity to receive.

    How High-Functioning Anxiety Blocks Love — and What to Do Instead

    You never “need” anything. But underneath, you’re anxious, and wishing to feel more held.

    In this episode, we explore what happens when high-functioning anxiety plays out in relationships — from early dating to long-term partnership.

    And most importantly, how it impacts your ability to be met, supported, and chosen.

    You’ll hear:

    • Why overfunctioning can push love away — even when your intentions are pure
    • How emotional management erodes polarity and leads to mothering
    • The kinds of men we attract when we’re performing vs. when we’re rooted in self
    • And what to practice instead — so you stop chasing safety and start receiving love

    If you’ve ever said “I did everything and he still pulled away, why wasn't I enough?” this episode is for you.
