3 Reasons Why Your Post-vacation Relatio...

About this episode

You had an amazing weekend... the vibes were vibing, the cuddles were elite, and the connection felt so good. Then you got home, sat on the couch, and suddenly you’re spiraling.

Sound familiar?

This episode is all about why post-vacation (or post-holiday) anxiety hits so hard (especially if you’re anxiously attached and dating someone amazing). I’m breaking down the threebig reasons why you keep freaking out after it all went so well.

💥 We’re talking:     •    The honeymoon bubble (and why it messes with your nervous system)     •    The closeness crash (aka what happens when reality returns)     •    The expectation + confirmation bias gap (aka why a great weekend sets you up to doubt it all)

Even if your partner is wonderful, even if everything is fine, your brain can still be screaming “danger.” You’re not broken. You just need tools, structure, and support and I’ve got you. 🫶

Plus: I’m sharing a Q from a Healing Girl Gang member struggling with anxiety after her partner reassures her (if that’s not real, I don’t know what is).

✨ If this resonates:     •    Leave a 5⭐️ review (it helps more than you know)     •    Join the Healing Girl Gang (Overthinking Detox kicks off this week!)     •    DM me your favorite takeaway from the episode

Let’s normalize the weird grief of a great trip ending, and finally stop blowing up what’s actually going really well.
