Listen "EP 8. Break ups, Attachment Styles & Healing: How to confidently date without losing yourself."
Episode Synopsis
In this week’s episode of The Real Scoop, I’m joined by breakup coach Kelly for a real, honest conversation about attachment styles, marriage, breakups, dating, and building healthier relationships.Kelly shares honestly and openly about her own powerful story, and how she left her marriage after just 6 months, and the turning points that led her to becoming a breakup coach. I also open up about how my own breakups have shaped me, (Yes there has been a few ladies!!) & what I’ve learned, and how those experiences have shaped me and why I am able to look back and not regret them. Why both of us believe you should work on yourself while single, but also why some of the deepest healing only happens once you’re in a relationship.Here are some of the key topics we cover in this episode and the moments you can jump straight to-10:45- The traits of avoidant, anxious, and secure attachment, and how they play out in relationships11:30- Where attachment styles come from and how childhood shapes them13:10- Warning signs to look for if you’re anxious and dating someone avoidant24:00- The role of nervous system regulation in relationships — and how to calm anxiety in love34:00- Why it’s important to have single friends when you’re single (and why being at a similar life stage matters)37:00- How to be single and genuinely happy45:00- The difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships54:00- Why you should delete those photos, block your ex, and protect your peace50:00- How to leave when you feel too intertwined to walk away57:00- Tools like the pros and cons list and why its important to do this after a break up 59:00- Who are you posting the photos really for?
