Let’s Get Vulnerable: Relationship and Dating Advice

Reassurance isn't the problem. The wrong kind of reassurance is.
If you've ever heard "I'm not leaving" or "we're fine" and felt your nervous system stay exactly as anxious as it was five minutes ago, this episode is for you. Part 3 of Attachment Theory Got an Upgrade is diving into the research on why reassurance sometimes calms us down and sometimes completely misses the mark. I'm breaking down what a massive systematic review found about partner support and attachment insecurity, and why the answer isn't "more reassurance", it's the right kind, given the right way, to a partner who's actually able to receive it.
Inside the Episode:
The surprising research finding that reassurance doesn't work the way you'd expect for most people, and what actually determines whether it lands
The real-life examples of tailored vs. untailored reassurance (including the moment with my husband and a hot shower that fixes everything, apparently)
The one caveat I need you to hear before you convince yourself you "just need to communicate better", because sometimes it's not an attachment wound, it's a red flag

You deserve a love that feels safe without you having to ask for it seventeen different ways. And healing that starts with understanding your own patterns first.

A secure partner cannot heal your attachment style. I need you to sit with that for a second.
This is part two of our Attachment Theory Got an Upgrade series, and it's a good one. We're breaking down a 2025 study that followed over 1,000 couples for 20 months and the findings challenge the story so many of us tell ourselves: that finding the "right" person will just heal us. I've believed that too. Here's what the research actually says, and what to do about it.
Inside the Episode:
Why a securely attached partner's love can still leave you spiraling, and it's not because something's wrong with you
What a secure partner genuinely can offer you, and the handful of things even the best partner can't do for you
The practical shifts that actually move you toward secure attachment, so you stop outsourcing your healing to whoever you're dating

You've spent years blaming your mom for your anxious attachment, but what if she's only part of the story?
I am kicking off a brand new series today and I cannot wait to get into it with you. We're calling it "Attachment Theory Got an Upgrade," because after years of watching this concept get flattened on social media, I wanted to bring you the real, nuanced, research-backed picture, starting with the biggest myth of all: that your attachment style comes entirely from your parents. It doesn't. A massive 30-year longitudinal study followed 705 people from infancy into their thirties, and the findings are about to change how you think about every relationship struggle you've ever had.
Inside the episode:
Why your relationship with your mother explains some of your attachment style, but far from all of it, and what actually fills in the rest of the picture
The surprising role your childhood friendships played in shaping how you love today, especially if your parent relationships were genuinely healthy and you're still wondering why romance feels so hard
My own story of what moving constantly as a kid taught me about self-reliance, staying guarded, and becoming a chameleon, and how that followed me into adulthood

These are the ten truths that quietly rearranged my entire life, and I'm handing every single one of them to you.
Girl, we've made it to the final episode of my birthday series, and I saved the best for last. This one is the mindset shifts, the internal rewires that changed how I see myself, my relationships, and what I'm actually capable of building at 37. Some of these took me years to learn. Some hit me hard this year alone. All of them are things I wish someone had handed me a decade ago instead of making me learn the hard way. This episode is personal, it's unfiltered (you know how we do), and it might just be the nudge you need heading into your next season. Grab your coffee and let's get into it.
Inside the episode:
Why it's never too late to rebuild your life, and the surprising 2025 pop culture example I can't stop thinking about
The uncomfortable truth about who you should (and shouldn't) be taking advice from, and why I'm calling out a pattern I see way too often
The mindset shift that finally made my own fertility journey feel like ease instead of resistance and how identity work changes everything before behavior does

For years I bought into a script I didn't even write, play hard to get, shrink yourself, don't be "too much," wait for love to just happen to you. I lived by these rules and they kept me stuck on repeat, dating the wrong people and wondering why nothing changed. In this episode, part three of my 37 Unfiltered birthday series, I'm getting brutally honest about the 10 (plus a bonus) lies dating culture sold me, and exactly what I had to unlearn to finally build the secure, easy relationship I have today.
Inside the Episode:
The lie about playing it cool that actually trains you to attract emotionally unavailable people, and what securely attached dating looks like instead
Why "you just haven't met the right person yet" is one of the most dangerous things dating culture ever told you (and what it's really protecting you from facing)
The dream partner list I made in my 20s, why it made me feel icky, and the new list I want you to build instead

I'm unpacking all 10 lies, the ones about your body, your success, your emotions, your timeline, plus a bonus one that might sting a little. This episode is your permission slip to stop performing for love and start becoming the kind of secure that attracts it.
