Ever feel like you're walking on eggshells at work — even when no one’s mad at you? 😰 Constantly reading between the lines of Slack messages? Replaying convos in your head for hours? Avoiding conflict, hiding your voice, and lowkey doubting yourself even though you're SMART as hell? 🖤 You might be experiencing anxious attachment at work. In this juicy episode, we're diving deep into something not enough people are talking about 👀: How anxious attachment shows up outside of romantic relationships The emotional toll of anxious attachment in the workplace Why high-achieving women (and men) secretly feel unsafe at work... and how to change that If you’ve ever wondered: 💭 “Why does one bit of feedback make me spiral?” 💭 “Why do I hide my ideas in meetings?” 💭 “Why do I keep shrinking to make everyone else comfortable?” …this episode is your permission slip to get curious — instead of critical. I’ll share real signs, deep reflections, and my own stories of how I used to overwork, overthink, and overperform from an anxious place... 👩🏼💻 Even though I looked “put together” on the outside. You’ll walk away with tools to: ✦ Start seeing feedback as feedback — not rejection ✦ Speak up without over-rehearsing every sentence ✦ Handle awkward convos and kitchen small talk with more ease ✦ Stop people-pleasing your coworkers to feel "safe" ✦ Get out of your head and back into your POWER at work 🖤 If you’ve got the ambition and the heart — but still feel like you’re constantly proving yourself? ✨ This is the episode is for you: 10 Hidden Signs of Anxious Attachment at Work 👩🏻💻 (and How to Be More Secure Without Overthinking Every Little Thing) CHAPTERS: 00:00 Intro: The IMPACT of your anxious attachment at work 02:25 Life BEFORE I healed my anxious attachment 04:50 10 Hidden Signs of Anxious Attachment at Work 05:20 01.
