ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!
I’m so excited about today’s episode. Today we’re talking about how to identify your attachment style and feel more fulfilled in your relationships.
To help us with this, I invited my new friend Eli Harwood on the show! Eli is a therapist, author, and online you might know her as the Attachment Nerd — and she’s passionate about helping people understand attachment and learn how to relate in more secure ways.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve heard about attachment styles but you’re not really sure what they are or why they matter — and that’s why I’m truly obsessed with this episode. I learned so much and I can’t stop thinking about what I learned. This is the absolute KEY to healthy relationships, and I can’t believe I didn’t learn about this sooner!
One last thing before we dive in:
This show is all about women supporting women — and so that’s why, this season, we’re doing a really fun giveaway each week as a thank you for supporting this show (and the women who put it together!).
