Karmic Connections, Anxious Attachment, and Learning the Difference

from Note 2 Self · host Saskia Starck

Some connections feel different from the moment they arrive... like you've known this person before, like they were always supposed to show up. But there's a really important question worth asking: is this a karmic connection, or is it anxious attachment masked as chemistry?In this episode, Saskia unpacks the difference, and shares the story she's never fully told on the podcast before. A New Year's Eve in Byron Bay, a trip to Hawaii, a person she immediately connected with, and what it took to finally let them go. She traces the three markers she now uses to tell the difference between a deep past-life connection and the intensity that comes from her own anxious attachment, and why confusing the two cost her more time than she'd like to admit.She also opens up about being in a cocoon period right now: managing a lot, feeling overwhelmed, and trusting that the seeds she's planted are growing even when she can't see it yet. Plus: her first real Botox experience, her annual tarot reading, and the SNL bit she and Jeffrey can't stop laughing about. Join her for the ride.Referenced in this episode: SNL sketch: https://youtu.be/sTUmhxi6Mo8?si=HG79lRkxgn4_UvNY
