Listen "18. Tending the Fires of Connection: Attachment, Repair, and Finding Joy with Elizabeth Gillette"
Episode Synopsis
What does it mean to truly connect with ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities?
In this heartfelt episode, I am joined by Elizabeth Gillette, therapist, coach, and attachment theory expert, to explore how attachment shapes our relationships - and how repair is at the heart of human connection.
Elizabeth shares insights into how our early relationship patterns influence how we show up today, while we dive into the radical work of finding joy, setting boundaries, and showing up in alignment with our values - even when the world feels overwhelming.
We explore:
Why repair is essential to how we “human” and why it’s more powerful than perfection
Reclaiming play and joy as adults - and what our kids are currently teaching us
The importance of honoring your inner knowing (even when others disagree)
Why nervous system regulation isn’t just about calm - and what righteous rage can teach us
Small acts of connection and care as meaningful change-makers in the world
From bird feeders to boundaries, this episode is an invitation to get curious about how we repair, reclaim, and reconnect in a way that feels both grounded and liberating.
