In this solo episode, Jennifer Lehr, LMFT, expands on the powerful themes from Episode 1 — diving deeper into the roots of attachment wounds, emotional safety, and the lasting effects of narcissistic parenting on our ability to trust and connect.

Drawing on her experience as a licensed therapist and her conversation with Miette, Jennifer explores how early emotional injuries shape our adult relationships — and what we can do to begin healing. With clarity and compassion, she offers guidance on vulnerability, honest expression, and building trust.

This episode is for anyone who grew up feeling unseen, unsafe, or unsure how to express their needs — and who longs to create deeper, more authentic connections in love.
