What happens when high-performing moms carry hidden pain no one sees? This episode exposes the emotional cost of perfection, attachment wounds, and the struggle to feel safe in love and motherhood.
Topics Covered 👉 The unseen emotional pain behind high-performing motherhood 👉 How childhood instability shapes attachment and coping 👉 The “quiet disorganized” attachment style explained 👉 Emotional detachment as a stress survival mechanism 👉 Healing and self-awareness after divorce 👉 Nervous-system regulation and the need for safety 👉 The guilt around self-care for high-achieving women 👉 Reconnecting with emotions and authentic love
Behind every high-performing mom is often a nervous system in overdrive. True strength comes not from perfection but from reconnecting, feeling, and allowing love to be safe again.
