At first, all relationships are going to start off with a spark. Thats why we pursue each other. The hope that something ever lasting will be created. The truth is it can be created when we fight against the negative cycles that show up in the power struggle stage, as opposed to fighting each other. 

I really want to enlighten people on their attachment and the role it plays in the relationship to give you an "ahhhhaaa" moment. I am a firm believer that relationships can shift and change when we know the dynamics at hand and how to navigate them solely and as a couple. 

That is why this episode was so important, that you really get an insight into your partner, yourself and why you both may be at the stage you maybe at. 

In today’s conversation, I explored how your attachment style—whether anxious, dismissive avoidant, or fearful avoidant—shapes how you move through the 5 stages of a relationship.

I wanted to get you to see a deep and compassionate look at:

  • What each attachment style experiences in every stage of love—from the honeymoon phase to disconnection
  • Why dismissive avoidants often seem distant, even when they care
  • The emotional rollercoaster anxious partners go through when needs aren’t met
  • How fearful avoidants carry both deep longing and fear—and how that plays out in love
  • And most importantly, how to start creating safety, communication, and real connection—no matter your attachment style

We’re not here to label or blame—we’re here to understand and we can not blame an attachment style formed years ago subconciously. We can with mercy and compassion and courage shift the dynamics within ourselves and with courage in our relationships. 

Because once you can see what’s happening beneath the surface, you can begin to LOVE BETTER… (see what i did there) ☺️
