Attachment styles are everywhere online — anxious, avoidant, secure — but what do they actually look like in real life, beyond a 30-second clip?
In this episode, we slow the conversation down and unpack attachment theory the way it shows up in real relationships, workspaces, families, and friendships — not just on social media. We talk about why attachment styles aren’t personalities or diagnoses, how they’re formed in relationship, and why they tend to show up most when we feel emotionally unsafe, unseen, or uncertain.
We also gently challenge some common TikTok myths:
– Why avoidant people do care (even if it doesn’t always look that way)
– Why anxious attachment isn’t about being “too much”
– Why secure attachment doesn’t mean you never struggle
– And why most people don’t fit neatly into one box
This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought, “Why do I keep showing up like this in relationships?” — and wants understanding without shame, labels without rigidity, and hope without oversimplification.
Because attachment isn’t about what’s wrong with you — it’s about what you learned, and what can still be healed.
