Emotional Availability - How to develop ...

Nathalie Nimah
About this episode

In this episode, we’re diving into the essential but sometimes elusive topic of emotional availability.

What does it actually mean to be emotionally available and how can you tell if someone else is?

We’ll explore what emotional availability looks and feels like, why it can feel so hard to access in ourselves or others, and how to begin cultivating it through self-awareness, nervous system regulation, and relational honesty.

Whether you're navigating dating, deepening a current relationship, or working on showing up more fully for yourself, this conversation will offer clarity and grounded tools to support your journey.
