This Is Not Your Practice Life ®

In this episode, we break down the four core attachment styles—and why they show up the way they do in your relationships. From anxious overthinking to avoidant shutdowns to the craving for closeness but fear of intimacy, you’ll walk away understanding your patterns (and your partner’s) with more clarity and compassion. Whether you're in a relationship, healing from one, or figuring yourself out, this conversation will help yo...

In this episode, we’re unpacking the phrase “I don’t know”—and how it’s often less about not knowing and more about avoiding. You’ll learn how to tell the difference between real uncertainty and emotional hiding, and what to do when you’re stuck in the spin of indecision.

In this episode, we’re talking about the kind of support that actually helps us grow—not just feel good for a moment.

We explore the difference between comfort and growth, why real support includes honesty, and how to recognize...

If you’ve ever carried silent anger or felt weighed down by emotional debt, this conversation will show you a new, e...

Self-awareness is powerful — but it’s not the finish line.

In this episode, we’re talking about the sneaky trap of applauding yourself for recognizing patterns without actually changing them.

You’ll learn why awareness alone isn’t growth, why celebrating realization can keep you stuck, and what it really takes to move from noticing your habits to rewriting them.
