59: the ONE thing you're doing WRONG if you have an anxious attachment (and what works better with the avoidant partner)

If you’re anxiously attached and feel like you’re RUINING every good relationship... this episode might just be your wake-up call  🖤 Do you chase closeness when your partner pulls away? 🖤 Do you try to FIX the disconnection… by doing MORE? 🖤 Do you spiral in your head wondering “Did I say something wrong?” 🖤 Are you exhausted from overgiving, overthinking, and over performing… and STILL feeling unsafe in love?   You're not crazy. You're not too much. But your nervous system thinks you’re in danger—and it’s running the show. In this episode, I’m sharing: ✣ the #1 MISTAKE most anxious attachers make (without even realizing it) ✣ why “doing more” actually pushes love away ✣ the invisible FIGHT MODE pattern that’s draining your nervous system ✣ how to finally feel SAFE without chasing or fixing everything ✣ 4 quick steps to get out of the spiral and back into your power and to create more connection with your avoidant attached partner   Here’s a story I’ve never shared like this before… Back when I lived in London, I had this one tiny habit that changed everything… I stopped running for the bus. Like—I saw it coming… and I LET it go. Why? Because my whole body was in panic mode 24/7. My brain thought every moment was urgent. So I was teaching my nervous system a new truth: ✨ We’re not in danger. ✨ We don’t have to rush. ✨ We’re safe to slow down. That’s how healing starts. Not just with knowing the patterns—but with retraining your body to feel safe in love 💭💋🖤   Listen to today’s episode of the anxious to secure podcast if you're tired of feeling like you're “too much” or like you always have to work for love.
