About this episode

In today's episode, we dive into the topic of inner healing and personal development within relationships, specifically focusing on the anxious overthinker archetype. I talk about my journey of transforming my relationship through self-work and how it positively influenced my husband to also engage in personal development. I also touch on the underlying causes of relationship anxiety such as anxious attachment styles, and strategies for individuals to work through their anxieties to foster healthier, more secure relationships. I passionately advocate for the importance of internal work and self-regulation as foundations for building stronger, more peaceful connections with others - tune in to hear how!
