Episode Throwback: Becoming a High Value Woman with Kay Robbs

We’re throwing it back to a powerful and relatable episode of Hot Takes on Healing—featuring the ever-grounded Kay Robbs (@kayrobbsmua), a Connecticut-based lifestyle blogger who’s all about wellness, self-care, and curating the soft life in a way that still feels real.

In this episode, we dove deep into anxious attachment—the kind that whispers “you’re too much” while also begging “please don’t leave.” We unpacked how that fear of abandonment shows up in real life: anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, over-giving... and the slow, messy process of finally saying enough.

Kay and I talk nervous system regulation, reparenting, and learning how to emotionally support yourself instead of outsourcing your stability to anyone who gives you breadcrumbs. 

If you’ve ever felt like you love too hard, give too much, or bend to be loved, this one’s for you.

We also got into:

• Communicating from a regulated place

• What “high value” really means (hint: it’s not a highlight reel!)

• Emotional reactivity in relationships

• The art of detachment and self-led living

• How to stop taking things personally and finally trust yourself

As Kay said: “Anxiously attached people don’t live in the present.”

And that hit. Hard.

This episode is full of truth bombs, soft wisdom, and firestarter moments to help you break old patterns and step into the version of you that doesn’t need to prove anything to be worthy.
