Episode 32: What Love Looks Like When You're Finally Ready

from Terrific Tuesdays: Getting Better at Being Human! · host Gregg Collison

EPISODE 32: WHAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE WHEN YOU'RE FINALLY READYDescription:What happens after you do the work? After you let that younger version of yourself off the hook, after you stop hiding behind your past - then what?In Episode 32, I'm talking about what it actually looks like to be ready to love. Not ready for a specific person. Just... ready. Ready to show up whole, without anxious attachment, without abandonment issues running the show, without losing yourself trying to keep someone.I share a personal example - something I did this Valentine's Day that the old me never could have done with any peace. And I'm honest about where I landed: 80% at peace. Not 100%. Because I'm human. But that 20% isn't running the show anymore.I also go back to something I discovered about that 7-year-old version of me - what actually created the fear of abandonment, and how understanding it finally let Sweet Boy out of the dark.This episode is about becoming the person who can love authentically. And recognizing that sometimes we're so fixated on one direction, we miss what's right in front of us.Progress, not perfection. That's what being ready looks like.Hashtags:#RecoveryJourney #MentalHealthMatters #AnxietyRecovery #AuthenticLove #PersonalGrowth #SobrietyLife #AbandonmentHealing #AnxiousAttachment #ReadyToLove #AARecovery #AddictionRecovery #MentalWellness #RecoveryPodcast #HealingJourney #LoveAndRecovery #SoberLife #EmotionalHealing #InnerChildWork #ProgressNotPerfection #RecoveryCommunity
