  • Beautiful and insightful - what a great podcast.

    I’ve only recently discovered this podcast, but it has genuinely opened my eyes to the different attachment styles in relationships and the varied experiences two people can have while going through the same situation.

    After my recent breakup, I’ve found myself thinking more about what my ex-partner might have been experiencing duration moments of conflict, rather than only seeing it from my own perspective. That shift has been incredibly grounding for me.

    The way you articulate these concepts... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#260: Can You Become Anxiously Attached from Dating an Avoidant Person? (Ask Steph)
Q: Is it possible to become anxiously attached as a result of dating someone who is more avoidant?
Yes, it can be a natural response to uncertainty and avoidance, but the bigger picture involves how prior attachment patterns, past relationship wounds, and the overall context of one's insecurities contribute to that anxiety; the host also explains that secure individuals tend to respond by setting boundaries rather than becoming entangled in the other person's avoidance.
#256: How to Balance Accepting Your Partner & Supporting Their Growth (Ask Steph)
Q: How do you balance accepting someone as they are with supporting their growth?
The host explains that growth should be internally motivated and aligned with the partner's own desires, and that true support involves listening, asking how to help, and avoiding coercive or pressuring tactics; if growth is not desired by the partner, it may indicate a misalignment in the relationship and a need to reassess compatibility.
#248: How to Cope With My Ex Being Happy in a New Relationship (Ask Steph)
Q: How do I cope with the fact that my avoidant ex seems to have moved on and is thriving with someone else so soon after our breakup?
Recognize that attachment patterns explain different reactions to breakups; avoidant people may feel relief and outwardly appear okay, while you may feel intense pain. Accept you don't have visibility into their new relationship and avoid comparing it to yours. Stop chasing information about them, set clear boundaries (mute/unfollow, limit mutual updates), and turn energy back toward self-care and reclaiming your power. Focus on actions you can control, like establishing guardrails and investing in your own growth and well-being.
#244: I Healed My Anxious Attachment… So Why Don’t I Want a Relationship Anymore? (Ask Steph)
Q: I've done so much healing around my anxious attachment patterns, and I feel so secure that I now have very little interest in men or relationships.
The host acknowledges this is a common phase and explores two scenarios: a genuine contentment in singledom with a newfound peace, and the fear of returning to old patterns if a relationship forms. She suggests leaning into self-discovery during this season, maintaining boundaries, and trusting yourself to navigate future relationships without losing progress.
#242: When Does Self-Improvement Become Self-Sabotage? (Ask Steph)
Q: How would I know if I'm stuck on a loop of self-improvement?
The host explains that the key signal is whether growth comes from a sincere desire for becoming more grounded and expansive or from inadequacy, perfectionism, and the need to prove worth. When the motivation is fear-based, self-improvement becomes performative and a band-aid for not feeling enough; genuine growth should feel like a purposeful, balanced process that supports inner peace.
